[cayugabirds-l] seeking mockingbirds
Hello fellow birders, My daughter (who is almost 6) has been working all summer to complete a NYS-DEC youth birding challenge. The last bird on her list is a Northern Mockingbird. I'd love to help her complete the challenge, but have not spotted any myself this season. Can anyone suggest a semi-reliable spot to see a Mockingbird to encourage this young birder? Thanks so much for any tips!

[cayugabirds-l] Ruby-throat & Oriole battle in Caroline
A Ruby-throated Hummingbird inspected our hummingbird feeder this afternoon! Thanks to the folks on this list who mentioned it & got the ball rolling to set up ours. Also our first yard-sightings of Common Yellowthroat and House Wren. The Baltimore Orioles have been singing and chasing each other all around the yard today. This evening I heard loud screeching, and commotion in the underbrush. I ran over and saw two Orioles tumbling around. They were each locked onto the others' leg. I carefully picked them up (and received numerous pecks), and with my husband's help, we disengaged their claws, which were tangled in wet feathers. Both flew away, and we were left to hope we'd done the right thing.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
I was surprised to see a *male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker* visiting our suet feeder this morning in Caroline. Shouldn't they all have migrated further south by now? -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
