[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park hybrid domestic Greylag X Canada Goose

On November 1st, Ann Mitchell, Gary Kohlenberg, and I saw at Treman Marina what looked like the same bird you photographed today at Stewart Park. It was the first time I had seen such a hybrid in several months, and I'd been thinking maybe the resident hybrid at Stewart Park for several years had d

[cayugabirds-l] Evening Grosbeaks

We have had a pair of Evening Grosbeaks visiting our feeders irregularly throughout the weekend. Nice to have them in the yard again, hopefully they will be joined by more irruptive varieties as the season progresses. Ken Smith Pleasant Valley Rd, Groton -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.N

Just a note that Ethan Kistler and I relocated Dave's POSSIBLE JAEGER SP. at Cayuga Lake SP sometime after noon. We were looking for the Gannet of course when I spotted a flash of white in what appeared to be the outer primaries of a bird coming up the far side of the lake. We followed the bird f

[cayugabirds-l] More Info on Red Crossbill Summerhill Type 2??

The calls came from the spruces near the intersection of Salt and Dressler road on the Salt Rd side fairly deep in. The call notes were slow and I don't believe the bird was in flight as it did not seem to move. Could not find this guy and it called infrequently for about 5-10 minutes or so.  >F

We struck out on the evening grosbeaks but heard 1 red crossbill (not sure which type). Single call note. Repeated often. Much slower than white winged . Also heard at least one (probably more)white winged crossbills flyby with their more mechanical like calls repeated rapidly. Dave Nicosia S

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Summerhill Grosbeaks

Was just there. Did not get the evening grosbeaks. But fox sparrow still present under tree you mentioned close. Also pretty sure i heard a goshawk from the spruce on the hill behind the chalet. It was making its "wail" call. Did not see it. There were many crows around going nuts up there. Not

[cayugabirds-l] Summerhill Grosbeaks

I did some walking and feeder checking today in Summerhill. There was lots if shooting today ,but it didn't seem to bother the Hovel Chalet Evening Grosbeaks. The flock grew as I watched to 14 birds. One Fox Sparrow kept a low profile under the trees. My first of the season Rough-legged Hawks
