[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls back
Two COMMON REDPOLL (M F) returned to our yard today. They seem to be feeding more comfortably with the other birds, so perhaps they will stick around for awhile. Larry -- W.

[cayugabirds-l] Factory pond, Union Springs, NY
Some of you might want to see Factory pond. Beaver has felled 2 fair sized trees along the south side. One has fallen almost entirely into the water. The other is about 1/2 in the water. Geese ducks have never been able to swim where they are now. Gets more interesting each day. When at the P.O. at 2 p.m. I saw a bald eagle fly over the village , once again, fly to the WSW out to the lake. Men are ice fishing out near Frontenac Island so if I wasn't so old, I'd go for a walk to the island again. Much easier when some snow is underfoot. Walking on bare ice is nearly impossible. Some 22 yrs. ago a group from our church walked, slid, danced our way to the island. Kathy Strickland's son wisely had brought his ice skates had no problem. Beautiful, sunny, VERY crisp, windy day here. Must remember to stop at Mud Lock Aurora Bay soon to check the eagle nests. The one at Great Gully may be a mite too far away.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] cowbird?
Hi Liz, It certainly could have been a BH Cowbird. They will occasionally overwinter in our area. There has been a large flock,(~50) visiting feeders at Lake Como again this winter.

I can say with certainty that it wasn't a blackbird or a grackle. Any ideas? I'll try to get a picture if it comes back.
