[cayugabirds-l] Jennings Pond, etc

I had my scope in the car, so I made an impromptu stop at Jennings Pond this morning. Three Phoebes were squabbling over a nest site under the eaves of the restroom. Otherwise the scene was pretty placid. A couple of Bufflehead, a handful of Ring-necked Ducks, the local Canada Geese. But I

Does weather effect the Woodcock's sky dance? Do they stay down when it's windy like today? Or do hormones dictate their behavior and weather has no effect. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Woodcocks

I'm not sure what they'd do in a really ferocious windstorm, but normal windy conditions shouldn't stop them. After all, the display is a show of fitness. But wind might well make it harder for you to hear and observe them. -Geo On Apr 13, 2015, at 6:10 PM, Carol Keeler carolk...@adelphia.net

[cayugabirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush

A regular chorus of Hermit Thrushes greeted me from many directions at 6:30 this morning as I approached the brook in the ravine behind my house. Must have arrived in numbers this morning. And, singing from perches overlooking the waterfalls, a Louisiana Waterthrush. Back up in the second

?We were lucky to see a Forster's Tern at Mud Lock on Saturday 4/11/2015 around 1. 30 PM. It did not sit for us but gave us ample view as it circled and hunted for food. It seemed to have appeared from nowhere. We were fortunate enough to see three Sandhill Cranes come in from west of East

As soon as i exited my driveway there was a Yellow-rumped warbler in my neighbors yard. As i was entering EIRW way at Strawberry Hill road, a Brown Thrasher flew in front of me. At the Mitchell Street end there was a Purple Finch singing. I am pretty confident i heard Pine Warbler singing from

Since I was out to deliver bows on Ithaca's South Hill this morning, I had the opportunity to look for some other newly arrived Louisiana Waterthrushes. I found none at Upper Buttermilk, none at Lick Brook, and none at the top of the gorge of the West Branch of Cayuga Inlet. But in the pines
