Re: [cayugabirds-l] Oriole

The Oriole was really enjoying the suet feeders today. That's a first for my feeder. I did place a half of an orange on our feeder. No interest in the orange <3 Stephanie On Sun, May 3, 2020 at 6:52 PM Linda Orkin wrote: > Heard many Baltimore Orioles around in walks today. And my

[cayugabirds-l] Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird Quest update

Every Memorial Day weekend since 2006, I’ve led the Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird Quest (SBQ) to draw attention to the Land Trust’s role in protecting vital habitat for the birds we love. Over the years, hundreds of birders have joined me on dozens of walks, raising tens of thousands of

Heard many Baltimore Orioles around in walks today. And my granddaughter and my daughter saw Red-bellied Woodpeckers copulating. They thought that was neat to observe. Linda Orkin Northeast Ithaca. > On May 3, 2020, at 2:38 PM, Ken Haas wrote: > > Like Stephanie, I too found my FOY

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Oriole

It seems Orioles descended upon the Mecklenburg area this noon. We are just uphill and southwest of Ken's. While watching and adult male Baltimore on an orange we almost dropped our lunch when, at first blush a bird that looked like a very lost male Audubon's Oriole flew in to displace the first.

Hi all I walked along Shindagin a hollow Rd this morning from north to south, from where the pavement ends to the balsam swamp and back. Pretty quiet relative to what it will be in another week. The highlight was an American Bittern foraging in the open at the balsam swamp. I’ve never seen one

[cayugabirds-l] New yard bird!

Yesterday afternoon while I was gardening I heard a strange, intermittent squawking. I knew it was a bird I had never heard in my yard, but couldn’t identify it. I walked around under my trees with my binoculars, until I saw what appeared to be a heron perched in my maple tree, which abuts a

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Least Bittern

Congratulations on the birds, and the access to that place. Not sure how to get there safely? I went once to Michigan hollow (or was it Spencer lake), but the locals hounded me out of there, menacing me with their hunting crossbows wielded from their ATV. So, due to safety concerns, I never
