Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hurricane Joaquin

Darn. Good for the people, good for the birds, unfortunate for inland hurricane bird seekers... Latest forecast shows Hurricane Joaquin to make a Northeast turn and head out to the Atlantic. Appears that a building high pressure ridge over the Great Lakes and a stronger high pressure ridge over

[cayugabirds-l] Ed Hart's Obituary in Ithaca Journal

Hi all, I knew Ed through being his and his neighbors Dobsons land steward for FLLT for several years. Then he also became Cayuga Bird Club member. He was the one who taught me about peripheral vision and told me mine was excellent as I could see the birds lot more quickly. He was one of the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

Hmm. I had just been wondering whether I should still be bothering with hummingbird feeders. I guess I will keep bothering a little while longer and try to get good looks at any bird who visits them! Melanie On 10/1/2015 1:11 PM, Jay McGowan wrote: > Hi all, > As Marty suggested,any "hummer" th

[cayugabirds-l] Thursday morning highlights

Highlights from birding this morning at Myers Point and Hog Hole were two LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS flying north past Myers and a flock of 339 BRANT headed south over the south end of the lake. No Nelson's Sparrows or interesting ducks so far. Two individual BRANT also came in off the lake to head dow

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

Hi all, As Marty suggested,any "hummer" this late in the season is worthy of scrutiny. Over the next few months, vagrant species, most often Rufous Hummingbird, are almost as likely as lingering Ruby-throated. Please keep that in mind if you have any hummingbird sightings from now on, and post to t

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

I, too, had a hummer this morning, after a long time with no sighting. Oddly, it flew with very direct line from plants with flowers in the front lawn to flowers that were out of line of sight in the backyard making me wonder if it was the return of a summer resident. Don't know. Interesting.

[cayugabirds-l] hummers

I just saw two hummingbirds at our feeder in Interlaken. We haven't seen a hummer at our feeders since Sept 13. These both look like female or young male ruby throated hummingbirds to me, but then I've been wrong before! 3 years ago we had a rufous hummingbird visit us for several weeks. I'v
