[cayugabirds-l] OOB Snow Geese

2011-03-29 Thread Kathy Strickland

Saw at least 1000 Snows drop into a hill-top field on Rte 5 between Auburn and 
Elbridge this morning about 7. May have been more already settled but over the 
crest and thus out of sight. Had to pull over and enjoy them with bins for a 
couple minutes since I was out of the country when the masses were in the area 
early this month. Nice way to start my day.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Newman Golf Course Turkey Vultures

2011-03-29 Thread Susan Fast
Late this afternoon, there were about 30 TURKEY VULTURES circling over their
roost and preparing to descend for the night, in downtown Brooktondale.

While walking the golf course / Jetty Woods, this afternoon around 4:30,
there was a mini flight of Turkey Vultures . I saw 51 TVs drifting north,
mostly over West Hill. There were also 7 D.C. Cormorants heading the same
way.

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Pintail at Sapsucker Woods

2011-03-29 Thread Scott Haber
As first reported by Mary Winston earlier today, a drake Northern Pintail is
hanging out on the pond at Sapsucker Woods this morning, just offshore from
the Treman Bird Feeding Garden.

The continuing pair of Hooded Mergansers were loafing nearby as well...have
they been confirmed breeding here in the last few years?

[cayugabirds-l] Common Teal, George Road

2011-03-29 Thread Jay McGowan
Although the pond is almost all frozen over again, a single EURASIAN
GREEN-WINGED TEAL is with fewer than 20 American Green-winged Teal at the
George Road pond in Dryden. This bird was not present any of the times I
checked over the past week, so I'm not sure if it's the same individual or
not. Certainly a different one than at Montezuma.

[cayugabirds-l] Winter wren - Brooktondale

2011-03-29 Thread Melissa Groo

This morning I woke to my favorite sound of early spring, the exuberant, 
spilling song of a Winter Wren in the valley by my house, next to Shindagin 
Hollow State Forest. Six days later than I noted a winter wren's first arrival 
here last year.
