[cayugabirds-l] Bank Swallow - Lansing

Cayugabirders, In addition to Jay's Bank Swallow report from up north, I saw one at the Cornell ponds north of the Ithaca airport in Lansing today. It is interesting that a few showed up in different places in the Basin today, as we are still ~2 weeks before the average arrival date. Cheers, Tomo

It would be neat if the Merlins were nesting in Sapsucker Woods, as it seems reasonable that they might use native trees like White Pine instead of the planted Norway spruces of which urban Merlins in the northeast seem to be rather fond. Keep an eye out! Cheers, Tom -- Thomas Brodie

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park, 11 March

Cayugabirders, I visited Stewart Park this afternoon between 3 and 4:30 and also had a nice variety of species. While many of my counts are similar to those Chris et al. made earlier, I did note a few big differences in the afternoon. These were a big flock of 74 Hooded Mergansers near the Fall

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ROBINS

I noticed robins, not in large flocks but a few, around our place in Lansing. They hadn't been in evidence for most of the winter so far. The birds I saw were foraging in the few areas of open ground--mostly under parked cars--free from the recent snow cover. My guess was that the recent snows
