[cayugabirds-l] We had a Redwing Blackbird on Fri 2/15 in West Danby

on the sunflower seed feeders. And they pretty much empty the small metal thistle seed feeder in half a day - they literally cover every inch of this feeder when feeding. Plus it sounds like The Birds in the morning. Nigel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com

mulch around the feeders.   On the Friday just after Thanksgiving, 11/23, we had a flock of 6 turkeys stop by, reported on eBird, but we haven't seen them since. Don't call them "late for dinner." grin   Nigel near the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve, West Danby, NYhttp://www.fllt.org

Re: [cayugabirds-l] anyone love trying to identify bird nests from photos?

Glenn, Yes, Contact the ECO. The ECO, Rangers, are also State Police, so give them the information about inaction by local LEO, Law Enforcement Officer. Nigel (Ranger Joan Oldrodyd on BCC - Tioga, Tompkins Cty)   For example: our vol fire department spent several hours putting out a trash burn

[cayugabirds-l] lots of geese flying south over West Danby - around 4pm/16:00

When I went out around 4pm/16:00 to restock firewood I saw quite a few chevrons of geese flying south. I wonder if they know something that we don't. Now they seem to have stopped for the night - ~16:45.   Nigel Dyson-Hudson near the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve, West Danby, NYhttp
