[cayugabirds-l] Myers Point shorebirds

[Jay McGowan]

The spit at Myers Point hosted a few shorebirds this evening, including an
adult Sanderling, an adult Semipalmated Plover, 8 juvenile Least
Sandpipers, Killdeer, and a Solitary Sandpiper in the creek. The lake level
is dramatically down from where it was a week or two ago and lots of nice
shoreline is exposed. Still, birding here is hit-or-miss as always. First
thing this morning, none of these shorebirds were present.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] By Lansing shore

[Laurie Roe]

Concerning Donna's email about the chicken, I live near Conn Hill..lots of
woods out here, and have seen that people will just dump chickens they
don't want for some reason or other. If a chicken lover goes to get them,
the abandoned chicken can avoid feeding foxes and coyotes etc..Laurie

[cayugabirds-l] By Lansing shore

[Donna Lee Scott]

Yesterday my neighbor out in his boat saw one of 2 OSPREYS that is fishing 
around here, catch a fish so large that the bird could not get it up out of 
water, and had to drop the fish!

Earlier I had seen one of them dive 2x without success; then that one flew to 
the 2nd one perched in my tall dead White Oak on edge of lake cliff. They both 
took off south towards Salt Pt. The perched Osprey had a small fish held by 
only 1 foot as it flew.

Today's surprise: a black CHICKEN strutting around by road a few houses to 
north. Hope it stays out of road. Nobody on Lansing Station keeps domestic 
fowl. Will inquire among uphill neighbors.
