Nancy,

I suggest contacting the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society for ideas.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey on nest, briefly

[Barbara Chase]

I walked around Renwick woods earlier in the afternoon yesterday (April 25) and 
watched that nest for about 15 min yesterday around 1:30pm.  I saw the one 
osprey land on the nest briefly and then fly away when the second one 
approached.  This interaction was repeated at least 5 times within the 15 
minutes I watched.  Once the first osprey sat on the nest calling loudly for 
about 2 minutes before the second osprey came and they both flew off.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 2022 First Cayuga Lake Basin Records are up

I looked out at my feeder a little while ago and saw a brown-headed cowbird 
which I don’t see on the list yet for this year. Someone else may have seen one 
and not reported it.

Barbara Chase, Black Oak Road, Enfield. I did put it in eBird with a photo.

[cayugabirds-l] Banded Greater Black-backed gull

[Barbara Chase]

I photographed this banded greater Black-backed Gull near Allan Treman Marine 
Park this afternoon. Is there any way to find out information from the bands 
about where else this bird has been seen?
The large black and white band says 4JF. I believe the smaller metal band says 
2193, although my eyes are not good enough to read it for sure, even when I 
enlarge the photo further.

Thanks,

Barbara Chase

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question on local sunflower seed

I thought I saw 50 lb bags of local sunflower seed at Ithaca Agway yesterday

They did not have local sunflower seed a couple weeks ago so I bought some of
