[cayugabirds-l] A pair of Common Loons and two Ospreys

[Bill Roberts]

Yesterday on Friday afternoon I spotted a pair of Common Loons at Myers
Point. In addition there was one Osprey in a nearby tree adjacent to the
Osprey platform at Myers Point. Earlier in the week I saw one Osprey on the
platform on Lake Rd. just south of Long Point State Park near Aurora.
Closer to Aurora on Lake Rd. there was a raft of approximately 25
Buffleheads hugging the shoreline.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl by Lott Farm

[Alicia]

At 3:45 today an unusually white Snowy Owl was sitting in what I assume 
is the same area? close to the base of the cluster of metal silos on the 
west side of Rte 414.  Definitely a very handsome bird!

[cayugabirds-l] CBC Field Trip

[Ann Mitchell]

I am leading a trip to Dryden Lake Sunday, April 8th from 7:00 to 11:00. We 
will meet at the far parking lot at the Lab of Ornithology. It should be a fun 
trip looking at ducks, Bald Eagles, different Sparrows, and who knows what 
else. It will be cold, 20’s to 33’s, so dress warmly with good walking shoes or 
boots. Bring a scope if you have one. My contact information is 607-230-8448 or 
annmitchel...@gmail.com if you have any questions. See you then.
Ann

Re:[cayugabirds-l] "Spring" activity

[Andrew Schmalfuss]

I also didn't mention my trip to Lindsay Parsons yesterday which yielded
about a dozen Tree Swallows, Ring-necked Duck, Pied-billed Grebe, Osprey,
Yellow-shafted Flicker, Great Blue Heron, American Tree Swallow and
(awesome!) a Brown Thrasher. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S44270569

Good birding.

[cayugabirds-l] "Spring" activity

[Andrew Schmalfuss]

Yesterday, a Pine Warbler was among the GOFI and Siskins at my feeders.
While walking my dog, I noticed a Brown Creeper and we received some verbal
harassment from a Belted Kingfisher. I also heard some Winter Wrens close
by and got the bins on them to watch them singing away in preparation for
the storm today.

Today, 54 GOFI and 22 Siskins as well as an American Kestrel foraging
across the street. There are the usual woodpeckers (Red-bellied, Hairy,
Downy) but not as much Junco movement as the past few days have had.
Probably the overwhelming GOFI numbers.

Lots of activity here in South Danby this morning: scads of GOFI, quite a
few Pine Siskins, juncos, various woodpeckers including our regular female
Pileated, a few Robins calling, Mourning Doves, and Bluejays, one imitating
a Red-shouldered Hawk.

Hi Laura,


   I'm so glad you had a good finch morning. About 5 miles to the southeast,

and about a dozen juncos and 4-5 Tree Sparrow at the feeders.


   We have a pair of Red-bellied W. coming in to our suet and recently a 
Pileated has been drummiong and coming to the suet. We hope he succeeds in 
attracting a mate.

[cayugabirds-l] Wild turkeys on Mott Road, Dryden

[Allison Myers]

At around 8:00 this morning (Friday), there was a flock of about 50 wild 
turkeys in the fields behind 184 Mott Road, including probably half a dozen 
males.  Three of them, separated from the main flock and closer to the road, 
were parading in full tails-spread glory before the same single female.  She 
seemed unimpressed, but I pulled over and took a moment to admire them :-)  
Cheers,Allison MyersFreeville NY
