[cayugabirds-l] Canada Geese
Hi All - Saturday morning at 9:20 I went outside my house and heard thousands of Canada Geese flying way, way high overhead. So high I could not see them but could hear them honking on their travels.

[cayugabirds-l] Reports from Puddler Marsh, Montezuma
I just noticed reports of a SEDGE WREN and a CONNECTICUT WARBLER from this morning at Puddler Marsh, Montezuma NWR, by Daniel Kraushaar in eBird. These may be posted to a listserv at some point, but I thought I would get the word out in case anyone was able to take advantage of the knowledge. Please post promptly if either of these birds are refound. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
