Hi Cayuga birders,
I have been following the discussion with interest and enjoying the back
and forth. I have to admit, that my initial impressions were the same as
Dave Nutter's - I thought the first photo was a red-tail and the others
were of a backlit Broad-winged Hawk. I just thought the secon
Cayuga Birders,
Alex Flecker wanted me to pass along his sighting this morning, at his
private residence, of a PAINTED BUNTING. He sent diagnostic photos taken
from just feet away at his feeder. The bird has not returned since 8 AM.
Birders interested in relocating the bird may do well to search t
Hi Cayuga Birders,
Driving on Rte 79 towards Ithaca today, I caught a short look at a bird
that I think was a great egret. I was not able to slow down or turnaround,
so hopefully someone else can confirm the bird.
The bird was near the Caroline Elementary School, but across 79 from the
school in
Hi birders,
I am working on a research project with Dr. David Winkler on the foraging
habits of tree swallows during cold snaps. Like us, many of you who bird
around Ithaca have probably observed large foraging aggregations of
swallows in places like the Cayuga Lake inlet, Myers Point/Salmon Creek
Walking up to Cornell campus today, I was distracted by a din of calling
birds near the Cornell Bookstore. Getting closer, I started hearing
distinct buzzy calls that made it clear the din was from a fairly large
flock of PINE SISKINS in the trees to the E of the campus bookstore, near
Day Hall. I
Hi Cayuga Birders,

County as we could yesterday. This turned into a breeding bird round up, as
we only saw two species that we think of as verifiable migrants.
We started the day with the barking BARRED OWL on Hunt Hill Rd,

Hi folks,
Sorry for the late posting. Just catching up on a busy weekend that
included some excellent birding. On Saturday, Alberto Lopez, Nancy Chen,
Hector Claudio-Hernandez (friend visiting from Puerto Rico) and I had a fun
morning checking out sites in Tompkins County. Highlights of the 113

My plan was to bird Hawthorn on the way to work - quick 30 minute stop to
see what was in town. 2 hours later I emerged trying to figure out how to
make up for lost time.
Just to reiterate the great birds at Hawthorn today, especially the nice
mix of warblers. I ran into Evan, and his post describ
Nancy Chen and I enjoyed a nice but brief morning in the East Hill Orchards
today. The highlight (for me - Nancy just got back from a month in Florida
and was less excited) was prolonged looks at a soaring BLACK VULTURE
immediately overhead for several minutes, then drifting off to the west.
