[cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland- Common Loon

I drove by Goetchius this morning just before 8am and found a COMMON LOON in the same spot as the the one from a week and a half ago.  I only spent a few seconds watching it but it looked healthy. David McCartt -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted grosbeak

Yesterday before dusk and before the storms rolled through, a male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK visited my feeder (first time I've seen it here). Also over the past week, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, CHIPPING SPARROWS, PURPLE FINCHES, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS, in addition to the

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Th 4/28 (quieter)

Sapsucker Woods seems to have quieted down overnight. Birding largely with Bob McGuire and Paul Anderson, I found very few passage migrants (continuing Yellow-rumped Warblers, a NASHVILLE WARBLER, and some Blue-headed Vireos), and nothing rare, new, or unusually early. Early-arriving Ovenbirds,

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden waterfowl - Surf Scoter

Hi all, I had an errand in Dryden this morning, so I stopped at some of the usual spots. Dryden Lake was fairly empty but with a couple interesting birds, including 2 RUDDY DUCKS, 2 HORNED GREBES, 1 LESSER SCAUP, and 1 RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. A MAGNOLIA WARBLER was singing from the spruces at

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland- Common Loon --looks like same loon as two weeks ago

I went to Goetchius at 9:30 and took some hurried shots in bad light, compared them to my shots of the loon a couple weeks ago (taken on April 15). It looks to me like it's the same loon, but would be interested to know what others think. I'm concluding this particularly from looking at the

[cayugabirds-l] Owasco bald eagle

This AM saw an adult Bald Eagle lift a rabbit carcass off Owasco's west lake drive and fly off south. Any reports of nearby nests? -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1)

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland- Common Loon --looks like same loon as two weeks ago

I did not see the loon of two weeks ago so I can't speak to any comparisons with today's bird.  However, I too find it hard to believe two loons would make the same mistake.  I'm still wondering just what kind of mistake was made.  It seems unlikely any loon would try to land or take off from

[cayugabirds-l] Vireo

I went over to Lansing this morning to look for the White-Eyed Vireo. Didn't see him, but I saw a Field Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, and Catbird. There must have been a hundred Cedar Waxwings. Bruce Packard Groton -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Odds against two loons

And a quick follow-up -- the loon wasn't there when I stopped by around 6:45PM this evening... Raghu From: bounce-23249422-7194...@list.cornell.edu [bounce-23249422-7194...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of con...@ithaca.edu [con...@ithaca.edu] Sent:

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland- Common Loon --looks like same loon as two weeks ago

Beautiful shots, thanks for putting them up. As I suspected, it is hard to tell what is what with the throat lines. When birds move their feathers don't move the way it seems they should, and their appearance can change markedly. It could just be the result of further molt, but the 15 April

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland- Common Loon --looks like same loon as two weeks ago

Can anyone tell if this bird is suffering the same impairment of its wing as the original Loon. That may make this call a little easier. Also, for people who have observed this present Loon and the environs, is there a greater expanse of water that will allow the bird to take off this time, if it
