[cayugabirds-l] SFO Group 7 Sunday March 24, 2013

Led SFO group 7 "The Finches". We began at SSW and saw many of the common SSW birds that have been around. Highlights for the group were watching a DOWNY WOODPECKER drum on a hollow log which was very loud for such a small bird. There were at least 3 other downies in that area. We also heard a PI

[cayugabirds-l] SFO Sunday 24 March 2013

I led Spring Field Ornithology Group 6 around Sapsucker Woods, then down to Stewart Park this morning. A walk around the Wilson Trail was more productive than I expected, considering the mostly frozen conditions. First, among the MALLARDS on the pond outside the Lab windows when we arrived was a si

I just watched a large swarm of Snow Geese over my yard, amused by their rude barking calls, and noted that while they had distinctly black wing tips they were more gray than white-- I think they may be muddy! Nancy Dickinson Mecklenburg Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://w

[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon

A male EURASIAN WIGEON continues of Wolffy's Grill and Marina on Lower Lake Road, Canoga, Cayuga Lake. Without Snow Geese it is distinctly easier to pick out, a perfect combination of the American Wigeon and Redhead on either side of it. Jay McGowan -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.Northea

[cayugabirds-l] Turkey Vultures, dead tagged deer

The half dozen or so Turkey Vultures patiently adorning the trees in my wooded backyard in Northeast Ithaca alerted me to a dead deer back there. The neighborhood deer have been seeming desperately hungry lately - often seen standing on tiptoes for a measly handful of hemlock needles, shamelessly b
