[cayugabirds-l] Birding the Midwest

[Carl Steckler]

I am planning a birding trip to the Midwest grasslands for next June.
Already I am finding hotel rooms sold out for that period.

Does anyone have experience or advice on birding the prairie grasslands?

Also anyone who might want to go along on this trip please let me know.

Carl

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin nesting

[Karen]

2021 Provisional tabulation ofnesting Merlin

Information obtained by the birding community in TompkinsCounty provides a 
unique opportunity to survey local bird populations. Reportson eBird and the 
cayugabirds-L have enabled me to document the expandingpopulation of nesting 
Merlin with a thoroughness probably unmatched anywhereelse. I have had one 
publication and one ms. under review thanks to the effort oflocal birders. I am 
so grateful to so many participants.

For Tompkins County 2021

    11known pairs: 7 known nests, of which 5 succeeded and two 
failed.

    Thetotal number of pairs equals the high total of last year. 
But the number ofnests discovered is well short of the 9 nests found last year. 

The following tabulates the number ofMerlin pairs found by year since 2014: 

2 (2014), 6 (2015), 6 (2016), 5 (2017),6 (2018), 7 (2019), 11 (2020) and 11 
(2021).

I am glad to provide further details ifyou contact confergoldw...@aol.com.

 Good birding, 

John Confer

[cayugabirds-l] RWBBs /feeders

[Donna Lee Scott]

Yesterday I saw in my yard 2 Redwing Blackbirds with a bare patches on their 
faces.
with one it was fairly extensive around the eye & side of face.
It was light -colored - like bare skin, not darkish, as in photos of mystery 
disease.
Since I was consulting with workmen at the time, I did not get to study the 
birds and I have not seen the one with the more extensive bareness since.
The other ‘s bare patch is on back of head.

I am gradually removing all my feeders.
