2013-06-08 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
Hi all, The Clay-colored Sparrow that Jay and Livia found on Lick Street, in Summerhill, is still there. I spent a good amount of time birding the area, but didn't have any luck re-finding it until I was almost back to the car at the north end of the tree farm. It was singing fr

Dear Cayuga-listers, Asking for your help in noting and giving me a call/email on any dead or sick "yard birds" such as robins, cardinals, catbirds, grackles...or others. As some of you may remember, last year brought another outbreak of West Nile virus. This hit the Cayuga Heights area crows

Today Ken and I went to the North parking area for the Roy Park Preserve for the first time. We walked the trail from there up into Hammond Hill State Forest. Most of the birds were pretty quiet in the light rain. About 20 minutes up from where the trail enters the woods,though, there was a warbl
