[cayugabirds-l] Young bird
We saw this little bird in our garden tonight - a young bird who wasn't sure what to do and eventually flew to a tree where a parent was waiting. They both then flew so we never got a gook look at the parent. Can someone help us ID this bird, please? I should know this but don't. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttqxtki3qfwwvg9/DSCN0424.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/50emgvq8evefli3/DSCN0426.jpg Thanks.

[cayugabirds-l] Woodcocks, Cardinals
An interesting article about Woodcocks from today’s NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/17/nyregion/an-early-bird-gets-caught-in-the-snowstorm.html?emc=edit_th_20170318=todaysheadlines=28196654 On another topic. The other day I found a dead male Cardinal on our side patio. There was no sign of trauma. However, it reminded me of the awful day last spring when I found 4-5 dead Cardinals lined up on the same patio. Again, no sign of trauma. There are windows they could have struck; I have decals on them to help with prevention (I’m aware the decals are not a complete solution). But they were lined up so neatly I couldn’t believe it was accidental. Had they been killed by a hawk, I would not have expected the bodies to be there. We have indoor cats but they never go out. There are other cats around but not that close to the house; even if they were close our cats would let us know I’m sure. I have some photos of the immediate area of the house if it would help. I would really be interested in any ideas, advice, etc. anyone has. Thanks.

[cayugabirds-l] House wren
Yesterday I watched a Chickadee building a nest in a box hanging on a fence near us. Today, just now, I looked out and saw a House Wren (first of the year) busily tossing all the nesting materials out of the box. Is this usual behavior? Do they usually clean house before taking over a nest box? Wrens nested in this box last year. Thanks.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma, mucklands, etc. info
Does anyone have recent info about the bird life status on the wildlife drive at MNWR or in the Mucklands? We’re planning on being in the area on Saturday. We’d like to see Snow Geese while we’re in the general area - are they more apt to be on Cayuga Lake still? Thanks for the help and advice.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake--no Snow Geese
We were at Knox-Marcellus this afternoon (probably around one) and saw thousands of Snow Geese in the distance. We then drove to the Mucklands and saw a huge flock fly in and settle down. It was wonderful! We also saw Pintails at the Mucklands. Earlier we had been to the northern end of Cayuga and saw many Ring-necked Ducks, Bufflehead, Canvasbacks, Redheads, numerous Tundras and others. No Snow Geese there that we saw.
