Re: [cayugabirds-l] Possible other RHW Nest
That looks like the European Starling nest that was in the tree next to the woodpeckers. -Jay On Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 7:18 PM, Carol Keeler wrote: > Yesterday while photographing the Red Headed Woodpeckers and young, my > friend John Garofalo took and interesting picture which I would like people > to look at and comment on.

[cayugabirds-l] Possible other RHW Nest
Yesterday while photographing the Red Headed Woodpeckers and young, my friend John Garofalo took and interesting picture which I would like people to look at and comment on. In the picture you will see a parent looking out of what we have believed to be the only nest hole. In a tree to the right is a hole where two babies are looking out. They appear to be even younger RHW young. Please see if you agree or is this some other bird. You can tell the hole is being actively used due to the whitewash down the front. These babies appear younger than the one that fledged yesterday. Are they RHW babies or not? I personally never saw a parent go to this hole while I was there-only the bottom of three hole. http://www.pbase.com/carol_keeler_photo/image/152114694 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Probable Olive -sided flycatcher at SSW
Hi all, I spent the morning on Stevenson's Road and at SSW or correct acronym would be SWS. Finally, on the return trip I did see two BLACK VULTURES atop a tree on a second visit. At SSW, I saw this bird perched on a dead branch in the main pond towards the east end, who's gizz was that of Olive-sided Flycatcher. It was a larger flycatcher, with a forked tail and I felt I could see the dark sides and white throat but light was too low. At the first bend past the bridge on Wilson trail, I came across a small flock birds mostly consisting of Cedar Waxwings and chickadees but with one Chestnut-sided warbler. Later I ran into another small flock at the visitor center, where I saw a couple of Magnolia Warblers and a young Blackburnian warbler. There were also two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, one of them chased a Magnolia warbler for quite sometime and later chased another bird, which could have been a Tufted titmouse, the chase was too fast and they got lost in the foliage.
