[cayugabirds-l] Mudlock Bald Eagles
Yesterday afternoon we birded the upper end of the lake and around Montezuma. On our way home we checked the Mudlock Bald Eagles and saw an adult and a juvenile sitting in a tree at the point. After a bit the adult took off and gathered nesting materials which it carried to a tree just north of the point. We then noticed that a second adult was sitting in what looked to be the beginnings of a nest. Is this a new pair or have the Mudlock pair moved to a tree to nest?

[cayugabirds-l] Marty's rufous hummer
Shirley and I stopped by Marty Schlabach's place in Interlaken about noon today in hopes of seeing the rufous hummer that has been there for a week. We were not disappointed. The hummer made three appearances between 12:40 and 1:20. The rufous sides were clearly visible as the bird hovered around the feeder. Clearly, it is not too late to see this rare visitor to the basin.

[cayugabirds-l] Mall Merlin
At 4:45 as I drove south along Tripphammer past the mall I noticed a medium sized raptor perched on snags across from the car wash. I pulled into the car wash and with my binoculars ID'ed it as a merlin (bluish-gray back, weak mustache). When I switched from binoculars to camera it flew away.
