Re:[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma shorebirds
Sorry, that should have been a couple HUNDRED shorebirds. Sounds like numbers are down from last weekend, and the Main Pool has become too dry to host many shorebirds. Also, the Burdick Hill, Lansing Grasshopper Sparrow continues to sing from the fields south of the road as of this morning, and the Cornell Campus Clay-colored Sparrow was still around as of last night.

[cayugabirds-l] Morning singer
?Today my catbird started singing at 3.16 am (or that is when I woke up and checked time) and he sang till 5.46 am. I am sorry for him, he has to spend so much energy singing. So he deserves some moths. I did scare away some of the beautiful ones such as female Polyphemus, Io, a couple of Prominents and a couple of geometrids. I left him lots of tiny totricids. I have not seen him come to the sheet. Either he has got poor memory or he is a new guy on the block and has not yet learn about moths. A Cardinal was clicking quite close by who also visits moth sheet, so may be he will be the one gets to pick juicy moths. They don't seem to eat lappet moths and Hickory Tussock moths, which are plentiful. Also, a Raven croaked for quite sometime while I was photographing moths. So he must have nested close by somewhere. Cheers Meena PS: As I type this, I hear a Towhee calling towhee right now outside my window.

[cayugabirds-l] Crows
I read that crow nestlings were returned to their nest. What I'd like to know is, how do the parents respond to this? Do they seem to know you are helping them, since they are such smart birds? Or do they see it as an invasion and attack the person returning the babes. Does it vary depending on the crows' personality? I would expect there is always a crow watching the nest.
