[cayugabirds-l] Carolina Wren
Yesterday, at 11:30am I heard a Carolina wren (FOY for me) in my backyard, but couldn't find it. Today, it turned up on top of one of our bird feeders, calling again.

[cayugabirds-l] Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch may have left
A western Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch gave Nancy Loomis, in Boonville, quite a start as she was counting goldfinch for Project FeederWatch last weekend. Thanks to her, a local TV news crew, news reporters, and birders galore from three states have seen this noteworthy visitor. However, the bird has not been seen in a day, so email Nancy before hand at loomis.na...@yahoo.com. Additionally, check *Birdingonthenet* for sightings. The Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch could not have picked a nicer house to visit. As soon as she saw the odd bird, Nancy asked the Lab for an ID, issued a Rare Bird Alert, and made sure there was plenty of seed to keep it around—it likes mixed seeds and not Niger seed. The Loomis’ put up a yellow tape to show birders where to stand and have asked that visitors sign their log inside the garage, where they have made a restroom available. The finch itself has been easy to see, frequenting the feeding deck and surrounding trees. We spent our 62º Wednesday afternoon observing the GCRF in Boonville. (I also checked out the gorgeous flock of 30+ Bohemian Waxwings a mile or so down the road by Sugar River.) A beautiful life bird, it appeared more rufous than rosy in Wednesday's variable light. Below are some terrific photos of the GCRF posted on *10,000 Birds *by Corey Finger after his visit to Boonville on Monday. Boonville's a drive, but tomorrow IS Saturday. We took the scenic way via Rt. 13 and saw migrant snow geese, the occasional red-tail and Harrier, a few 50 mph spp., and a few signs of spring along the way. Many thanks to the Loomis family for their gracious hospitality!

[cayugabirds-l] No Gray-Crowned Rosy Finch Today
About forty birders signed in today and no one reported seeing the bird. Looks like the south winds moved him on.

[cayugabirds-l] It must be spring
I was delighted last night to see a Turkey Vulture circling overhead. I thought little of it. This morning I noted that there actually was a dawn chorus! I have red-winged black birds and American robins in my yard. I haven't taken the time to look or listen for anything else but was happy to see my familiar favorites again. Happy Spring!

[cayugabirds-l] Shindagin Hollow SF
We two walked thru Shindagin Hollow SF this morning. Birds included a flock of 60 (actual count) TURKEYS in a field at the intersection of Shindagin Hollow and Braley Hill Rds. At the fir plantation, a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK circled and called repeatedly. It was answered by another from the ridgetop. Seems early. Laura usually reports hers before we see them in the Hollow. A BLUE JAY did a good imitation of the call. I wonder if this is the same jay that does an excellent broad-winged hawk imitation later in the season? The ½ of new snow on the road provided a good base for mammal trackschipmunk, both squirrels, deer, fox, male and female mink, and female fisher. Yes, Virginia, there are fishers in central NY. (Sorry Melissa, but the snow melted around the tracks before we could get back to your place). S. S.
