Re: [cayugabirds-l] 1 R. S'bill + 1 R. S'bill = 1 or 2

Hey John, I only saw two B-b Whistling Ducks at the east end of the marsh. There could have been more hiding in plain sight with the Mallards that I didn’t see. I’m still not sure about the Spoonbill number. I tried hard to verify more than one, but couldn’t do it definitively, even though our

Re: [cayugabirds-l] eBird Question

another way to see these observations is to go to the Explore page on eBird, then select Alerts, and look for eBird alerts for the relevant region - the ABA area, state of Wisconsin, or whatever. this shows all recent reports of eBird of rare species, regardless of whether the records have been

[cayugabirds-l] 1 R. S'bill + 1 R. S'bill = 1 or 2

I was watching a Roseate Spoonbill in the rain (i.e., we both were) at Knox-Marcellus. Considering that I had  a jacket and a small hat, I was getting wet. Gary drove up and got out with an umbrella, muck boots, and a rain jacket as I proceeded to get wetter. Gary said that Ken sed that he had

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raptor behavior

The eagles seemed to be cooperating & when the one that snatched the fish got it, the other eagle did not seem to try to get it. I can’t quite remember after that, but I think the 2 eagles flew off together. I think Barbara said they might be a pair, by the way they were acting. But we didn’t

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raptor behavior

Were the eagles cooperating in the harassment? Did they continue to compete for the fish after the Osprey gave up? Did they go off together? Also, has anyone seen an immature Bald Eagle successfully steal a fish from an Osprey? - - Dave Nutter > On Aug 1, 2021, at 10:23 AM, Peter Saracino

RE:[cayugabirds-l] eBird Question

I believe that the reason is that so far the eBird reviewers for that region have not confirmed any of the sightings reported in eBird. The eBird outputs --- at least the maps --- will only directly display these flagged rarities after they have been given a status of "confirmed" by regional

[cayugabirds-l] eBird Question

For several days I have been getting eBird alerts about a Common Shelduck in Lake Winnebago  near Fond Du Lac WI. However when I search for this species on eBird it doesn't show. Does anyone know why this is? Carl -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Blackburnian and cowbird

Hi all I just observed a Blackburnian warbler feeding a huge cowbird chick. I’ve never seen this before- it’s quite distressing. I guess it’s good for the cowbird, bad for the Blackburnian! Laura Laura Stenzler l...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raptor behavior

That is classic Bald Eagle behavior. Greater Black-backed Gulls will occasionally do this to Ospreys as well. Bald eagles are kleptoparasitic when it comes to fish. Eagles are always on the lookout for Osprey fishing. They'll wait patiently for the Osprey to score, then the eagle hassles the

[cayugabirds-l] Raptor behavior

Last Thursday from East Rd at Knox-Marcellus Marsh, Barbara Clise, Mike Tetlow & I watched 2 mature Bald Eagles chasing & harassing an Osprey that was carrying a fish. The Osprey tried hard to escape, but eventually the eagles caused it to drop the silvery fish. Both eagles swooped down after
