[cayugabirds-l] Cardinal Singing

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

?Today around 7.00 am a Cardinal was singing his "Kiddo kiddo" song.   I went 
to the window to see him. He was in one of the maple's looking beautifully red.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Lakes Ice Cover heading for the record books...

[David Nicosia]

All,

As of yesterday, the Great Lakes Ice cover has reached 85.4% which is ahead
of last year's incredible ice extent which peaked at 92.5% March 6th. This
year Lake Ontario is almost completely ice covered (much more so than last
year) which I have never seen in all the years I have been watching. Almost
all of Superior, Huron, and all of Georgian Bay and Erie are now completely
covered.  I wouldn't be surprised if we break the Ice extent record set in
1979 of 94.9% since there are at least 2 more Arctic Outbreaks lined up for
the next week.  Syracuse, NY likely will be breaking their all-time coldest
month on record of which records go way back to 1902!!   We should be
seeing a major influx of scoters, red-necked grebes , red-throated loons,
red-breasted mergansers, long-tailed ducks etc.  as most of smaller areas
of open water vanish.

Here is a link to the Great Lakes Ice Extent...

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Butler's Pine warbler within Cayuga Basin?

[John Cancalosi]

I take a broader view of the Cayuga basin and harken back to the days of
Pangaea when I think that it is safe to say that the entire region shared a
common drainage.

Given the above interpretation, I am free to mention my experience this
weekend at Bombay hook NWR on Delaware bay. Frigid conditions made for
little open water. One small ice-free area had a pair of buffleheads
feeding which we stopped to watch. More buffleheads soon arrived followed
by several pairs of hooded mergansers. I wonder if the males of each
species were aware of what the other was wearing to the party, since the
bright white hood motif seemed to be the only fashion statement being made
by all the males on this occasion.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bald eagles?

[Sally Eller]

We see Bald Eagles nearly every day here on the western shore of Cayuga
Lake, about 25 miles north of Ithaca. They are usually cruising along
searching for an injured or unwary duck. When we see the flock of ducks
suddenly take off we look up for the eagle and he/she is almost always
swinging by. Lately we have usually seen an immature, and this morning
she/he was perched on a tree in front of our house. A very large bird!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bald eagles?

[Chris R. Pelkie]

We’re assuming you are in the Cayuga Basin, but not sure where. Near open water?
That sounds like a good description of BALD EAGLE as Turkey Vulture would not 
show a light/white head or tail  but would be large and dark bodied.
