[cayugabirds-l] Feeding Pine Warbler
There are few things more pathetic than a Pine Warbler in a snow storm on the ground below your feeder picking at microscopic bits, but that is what spring sometimes gives us. Karen and I maintain a meal worm culture for those occasions when some stressed critter would like to eat a few"worms". I spread a cup from the culture tank on the ground below a feeder, not knowing if the warbler would ever come back, and see the new stuff, and fly down to the pile of debri, and pick up a worm. Magic does happen and the wrabler did fly down and hop to the pile of debri, and then fly up to the flowering crab. I got a view of the bird with a meal worm in its peak as it stuck it into crevacises in the bark and shredded it into bite sized portions. I imagine that one worm will keep it warm through the night, and then tomorrow is supposed to be warmer. My karma is bright.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Peregrine on Seneca Street?
Hi Melanie, It's certainly a possibility. I have seen a Merlin in the area around Six Mile Creek downtown a couple of times in the past month, so consider that too if you haven't.

Hi! I'm sorry for the late posting, but I was downtown for appointments yesterday and heard an unusual (to me), call and wondered if it's possible I hear a Peregrine? I found sound files on line and it seemed to match. I could not get a visual on the source of the sound. was midway between the intersection with Aurora and Quarry Street when I heard the vocalization.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Saturday morning bird walks at Stewart Park
Jody and all, How great that the bird club has taken on this stewardship of Stewart Park for birds and for learning about birds. The park’s history and the club’s history have been intertwined throughout both of their pasts. I thank everyone involved for doing this and encourage people to take part. I wanted to remind everyone that the Cayuga Bird Club also leads bird walks in Sapsucker Woods on both Saturday’s and Sunday’s at 8:30. These go on all year but heyspring is here. No better time. Binoculars are available for these also.

[cayugabirds-l] Saturday morning bird walks at Stewart Park
Hi everyone, This year the Cayuga Bird Club is leading public bird walks in Stewart Park on Saturday mornings in April and May. Walks start at 9am and will last about an hour. The Club purchased 5 new binoculars this winter to use on bird walks like these. So, folks who don't have binoculars of their own can come out and enjoy the birds. The Club also is putting final touches on a new Purple Martin house to be put in Stewart Park, is putting up nest boxes for Prothonotary Warblers and other small, cavity-nesting birds in both Renwick Woods adjacent to Stewart Park and in Lighthouse Point Woods / Jetty Woods across Fall Creek. We also are doing other habitat improvement work in LPW / JW. We encourage folks to go birding there to check it out. Please let me know if you'd like other information about the walks, nest boxes, or habitat work, or if you'd like to get involved. Thanks Jody Enck Jody W.
