[cayugabirds-l] Catbird woes and the added newest woe
Hi all, Yesterday morning I was out at 5.10 am trying to record some bird songs as a Mourning Dove seem to be singing very close by. To my ear it seemed very close and loud. But it the recording its sound is drowned by the neighbors pet and the Robin. So I was wondering if the frequencies of Mourning dove are soothing to me so my brain really appreciated it while drowning the surrounding sound. But I as I was recording my catbird came for his/her morning meal. I was as close at four feet from him and he complained and complained rather annoyingly at my tactics of scaring the moth away from the sheet before his arrival. He meowed in my face and not afraid of me. Today morning there were two Ravens one I believe is the parent other a young both flew back and forth over my yard several times. And lastly several of you had come to the Robert Treman Moth night. Here is the link to the photos of that night. Some of them are identified and others need yet to be identified. But so far at least three of the moths are New York State records. So I decided to check the last years pictures and I found two of them were seen last year too and one of them I had identified at that time but just did not know that they were new to New York! https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipOmsuDNhElL6qaJMDVrKLrDFHWpM2WJALU5egJW It is lot fun to sit and try identifying them but also painful on the forefinger as you keep scrolling down the moth photographers group photos (MPG) species by species.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Merlin
By way of an unfortunate window incident, I can report that a female or immature Yellow Warbler can appear from above to have distinct outer yellow tail feathers. (We have not had them in the yard before; it appeared to recover, and disappeared a while later, after being placed out of harm's way in a Norway spruce.)

[cayugabirds-l] Black-billed Cuckoo...
...has been calling within earshot of my house for several weeks. Just now as I was bringing laundry in off the line he was in the big old soft maple in the back yard. Haven't caught sight of him yet, though.
