[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon

Late this afternoon along the end of VanDyne Spoor Road was an adult drake EURASIAN WIGEON. This bird was in the largest pool of standing water in the mowed portion of the weedy field just before the point where the field transitions to being unmowed. Other sightings of potential interest in the a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Pk. Mallard "mixed" pair

This cream-colored Mallard has been at Stewart Park off and on for several years. I don't recall seeing it on careful counts of Mallards this winter, so I wonder if it has migrated and returned here. I first recall seeing it during summer 2008 (I think), when all the shorebirds were on the algae

[cayugabirds-l] Sat. birds--Rusty, meadowlarks

Susie & I took a spin around the Dryden area this afternoon. Dryden Lake is still all ice(rotten), but there was a pair each of COMMON and HOODED MERGANSERS near the dam. Also a female KESTREL on a wire. Along Southworth Rd., we listened to a singing male RUSTY BLACKBIRD (saw it too). The pond

Re:[cayugabirds-l] crow behavior

I've been out of the country for two weeks and just saw these posts as I was scanning Birdingonthe.net to see what was happening in the basin. Carol, very nice images! The crow was not amusing itself or playing with the vole, it was trying its best to kill and eat it. Crows love to eat mice, b

I don't think anyone has made mention of the Mallard pair at Stewart Park - a normal male with a lovely all-cream-colored female. They make an attractive couple! Carol Schmitt -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/Cayu
