Re: [cayugabirds-l] Night flight calls

Betwee 12 and 12:30 I had a fairly steady flight but the birds were very high up and calls were faint- I counted 22 VEERY, 11 ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, 1 CANADA WARBLER, 1 CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER and about 20 unidentified warbler notes. Overall not too different from what Chris T-H heard last night

We saw this little bird in our garden tonight - a young bird who wasn't sure what to do and eventually flew to a tree where a parent was waiting. They both then flew so we never got a gook look at the parent. Can someone help us ID this bird, please? I should know this but don't. https://www.

There are lots of birds migrating now but the traffic noise from my house is obnoxious. I heard several cheeps and zeeps and possibly a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in about 15 minutes. I need to do something about this traffic noise. There are some couple of Catocala pseices of moths at my moth s

Meena. It is not neonictinoids that are implicated in decline in monarchs. It is glyphosates as applied to round up ready crops, wholesale and broadly, with no regard to elimination of important field plants. In particular milkweed. Linda Sent from my iPhone On Aug 18, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Meen

Hi all, I took my lunch walk today in the afternoon. I came across a small group of migrants at different places. Migrants consisted of Rose-breasted Grosbeak feeding on Sambucus berries and there was a warbler which kept chipping almost sounded like Yellow-rumps chip but I could not locate the

Wow! I just watched a fight between the Male Oriole and male English Sparrow on my jelly feeder. They kept trying to bite or peck each other. The Sparrow was the aggressor. Mr. Oriole did a bit of chirping at him. The Oriole won and the Sparrow left. He got a few moments to eat in peace. V
