[cayugabirds-l] Ocwa still present

I just relocated Paul Anderson's orange- crowned warbler, but north of where he first found it. Along the tracks heading south from Cherry Street, but * north * of the bridge at the small dam, and next to a large (the largest?) camp in the Jungle. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Bird ID Help Needed

Today after the storm clouds parted around 3pm, the sun came out and Cayuga Lake at Stewart Park was glorious, and may still be! Can anyone verify the following birds at Stewart Park? They were in the far eastern corner and then some of them moved westward. 1 Red-throated Loon in winter plumage?

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Bird ID Help Needed

Stewart Park was definitely not glorious when I visited at around 1:30 today! Overcast, windy, and rain made viewing conditions hard, and the heat shimmer made any far offshore identifications just about impossible. Close-in I had nothing but Mallards and domestics, along with the three

[cayugabirds-l] Hog Hole raft and possible human protector

I was at Hog Hole at about 10:45 am, and in the midst of a small raft of Canvasbacks and Scaup perhaps 400 ft off shore there was what appeared to be an open kayak with a person lying in it occasionally taking smart phone photos of the ducks. I only saw the back of this person's head and one end

[cayugabirds-l] Faux flycatchers @ Jetty Woods

My evening walk to Jetty Woods from the suspension bridges was greeted by one bout of pewee song, two bouts of phoebe, and one killdeer. I assume all were starlings who were quite talkative in the pleasant lull between winds. Didn't check out the lakeshore from Stewart Park, alas. Suan

[cayugabirds-l] Around the Lake Today

Susan, Ann, Diane, Ken, Dave, and I spend the entire day driving up and around the lake, looking for new birds to add to our 2015 year lists (silly game!!) I'm tired from all the driving and don't feel up to a full report. However, there were some real highlights, and I'd like to get them out

[cayugabirds-l] Myers withput binoculars

?Hi all, I was going grocery shopping as the weather cleared I decided to head to Myers. Then realized I don't have my cell phone, scope and not even binoculars. But still decided to continue. At the point there were a few gulls, a few Ring-billed, a couple of Great Black-backed and a few

[cayugabirds-l] Sodus Bay Snowy Owls, Pultneyville Glaucous Gull

This evening we had 2 Snowy Owls on the west side of Sodus bay along route 14. One was on the docks at Arney's Marina and the other on the docks at Sodus marina visible from Kaitlyn's Marine. Both were intermediate/darker plumage. Neither were the same plumage as the other 2 we have seen

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Myers withput binoculars

In winter Northern Mockingbird individuals (or pairs or families?) defend a territory such as a shrubby thickets with a supply of fruit for them to eat. The Mockingbird will try to chase off other birds from eating its winter food supply. European Starlings have a different strategy, traveling
