[cayugabirds-l] Your responses to YBSA

Hi all, Thank you so much for all the replies I received and I was planning on replying to each separately, but I have been clobbered with variety of things. I will try to locate some trees this week-end and write to you separately. Meena Haribal Boyce Thompson Institute Ithaca NY 14850 Phone

[cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks in my backyard

My backyard has a bounty of Bobolinks if anyone has a desire to see and hear them this season write me. I also found a Redwing Black Bird nest last night while putting up fence posts. They were none too happy that I was so near but they are also lucky I didn't knock it over. Just the

[cayugabirds-l] Philadelphia Vireo

At 5:30 this morning, while lying in bed half-awake, I was surprised to hear a PHILADELPHIA VIREO singing outside my window (first ever in our yard). It's song was just as my son, Chris, described to me: like Red-Eye, but softer, higher pitched (squeaky), and at a slower pace. Perhaps it was

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Fri 5/21

Robert Busby, Jill Vaughan, Alicia Plotkin, Stuart Krasnoff, Anne Marie and Tim Johnson, and I spent much of Friday morning together in Sapsucker Woods. My main goal was to help Robert, who is visiting from Ireland, to see some life birds. By the time we parted, we had found four, which is

[cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture - Dryden

Cayugabirders, Around 10 am today I saw one Black Vulture heading north slowly over the towers on Mount Pleasant (Town of Dryden) while I was checking Tree Swallow boxes. No idea if we have one bird hanging around or if multiple individuals are involved, but I suspect the latter. Cheers, Tom --

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Birds

I spent yesterday evening and this morning exploring the north end of the basin. Here are the highlights: MNWR wildlife drive: even though the Seneca river is still quite high, there was a single SOLITARY SANDPIPER holding its ground in the traditional solitary spot at the beginning of the

[cayugabirds-l] Black-Crowned Night-Herons Stewart Park

This evening Laura Stenzler and I went to Stewart Park. Around 8:30 P.M. we saw 3 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS flying north from the Jetty Woods area. We, also, saw a very vocal BLACKPOLL WARBLER near the swan pen. Good Birding, Ann Mitchell -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Bank Swallow Colony

Hiking along Cayuga Trails in the streambed we came across a Bank Swallow colony nesting in the sandy cliffs-- probably about twenty nest holes. The birds were active and feeding over the water; one pair got chased by a Chipping Sparrow, of all things, who then trilled about showing them
