Re: [cayugabirds-l] Why larger predatory birds flee smaller birds

2016-07-18 Thread Peter
Come to think of it, a few year's back I saw 2 Canada Geese fearlessly 
go after a balk eagle who had come too near where they were

And I must say, I am always very impressed with a smaller bird's 
willingness to protect...a profile in courage.

[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Kingbird terrorist!!

2016-07-18 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Back in the 1960s whenever my stepfather would go to work in his garden 
or just out into his yard, an Eastern kingbird

would would suddenly appear & constantly dive at his head whether or not 
he was wearing a cap. That went on most all

summer. The bird never bothered anyone else. However, I  have seen E. 
kingbirds  showing aggressive behavior towards

adults once in a while in the last 10 yrs. or so with no /apparent /nest 
or young birds nearby. Here, male tree swallows dive

bomb anyone who gets near the birdbox after the eggs hatch but the 
bluebird males don't. Nature is interesting.

Fritzie,

Union Springs, NY

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Why larger predatory birds flee smaller birds

2016-07-18 Thread Margaret Shepard
On June 20, after a long train ride to Chicago, I spent an hour with family in 
Maggie Daley Park, being entertained on the children's playground by my 
grandson and by a thoroughly urban male RW Blackbird. The latter was
unexpected: many hundreds of active kids, no wetland or pond nearby, but lots 
of sprinklers, some shrubbery, plus whale tail and ship mast for perches. The 
RW seemed a serene observer of the chaos, perching, feeding, drinking within a 
few feet of the churning small humans. But every time the small, quiet, 
slow-moving playground custodian made her frequent rounds, the bird mobbed her, 
striking her cap forcefully and scolding. Based on the total lack of response 
from the custodian, I'd guess this was routine behavior; she must have 
threatened a nest at some point. There were plenty of other people in
pale baseball caps, so this was clearly a personal contest.

As I drove south on NYS-89 west of Cayuga Lake this afternoon I saw a 
Red-tailed Hawk ahead, flying vigorously alongside the road, apparently having 
just been persuaded by an Eastern Kingbird to vacate a typical perch atop a 
power pole. As they crossed in front of me, the Kingbird closed the gap 
completely and appeared to land and remain between the shoulders of the flying 
hawk. They disappeared, still attached, behind farm buildings before I could 
tell what damage the Kingbird inflicted, but I bet it was pretty uncomfortable. 
Meanwhile second Kingbird had also joined the chase.

And the dangers are real:  I saw Red-winged Blackbirds lose their nests to 
large bumbling goose families that, heads in the air, simply walked the nests 
over and into the swamp.  It doesn’t require a predator to do damage!

*Almost a Conversation *
*Mary Oliver*
I have not really, not yet, talked with otter
about his life.

He has so many teeth, he has trouble
with vowels.

Wherefore our understanding
is all body expression —

he swims like the sleekest fish,
he dives and exhales and lifts a trail of bubbles.
Little by little he trusts my eyes
and my curious body sitting on the shore.

Sometimes he comes close.
I admire his whiskers
and his dark fur which I would rather die than wear.

He has no words, still what he tells about his life
is clear.
He does not own a computer.
He imagines the river will last forever.

He does not envy the dry house I live in.
He does not wonder who or what it is that I worship.
He wonders, morning after morning, that the river
is so cold and fresh and alive, and still
I don’t jump in.

[cayugabirds-l] Sunset Paddle and Birding on Cayuga Lake - July 21

2016-07-18 Thread Chris Lajewski
Join the Montezuma Audubon Center this Thursday, July 21 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 
p.m. for a guided sunset paddle on Cayuga Lake. We’ll explore the waterways, 
marshes and swamps of this Important Bird Area and enjoy the songbirds, 
waterfowl and raptors soaring in the air and swimming on the water. This is a 
great opportunity to see Bald Eagles, Osprey and the rare Bufflehead that was 
found this weekend. Bring your own canoe/kayak or rent a boat from us. Space is
