[cayugabirds-l] Osprey

At ca. 19:25 this afternoon there were a pair of osprey on a power pole (no nest) on the E side of NYS 90, S of Aurora and a few hundred meters N of Ledyard Road. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/Cay

[cayugabirds-l] Blue Grosbeak in Lansing

A distinctly blue finch-like bird has been visiting my feeders here on Ross Road in Lansing (42°34′5″ N 76°35′1″ W). It seems larger than I remember for buntings. Merlin turns up nothing, neither Indigo Bunting or Blue Grosbeak, the only possibilities I could think of. The rusty wing bars sugges

[cayugabirds-l] Blue Grosbeak

The Blue Grosbeak is back again this morning. Earlier it made a number of visits to the sunflower seed feeder at the front of the house, but it hasn’t been there recently. -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".") Cayugabirds-L List Info: NortheastBirding_DOT

[cayugabirds-l] No Blue Grosbeak

The Blue Grosbeak that was in our yard for three days earlier in the week didn’t reappear yesterday and hasn’t been seen yet today. I suspect the cold overnight temperatures forced it back south. --- -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".

[cayugabirds-l] Bald Blue Jay

This Jay has been at our feeders for the last week or so. I can only think he’s been picked on by other Jays. Other ideas? -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".") Cayugabirds-L List Info: NortheastBirding_DOT_com/CayugabirdsWELCOME_DOT_htm NortheastBirding

[cayugabirds-l] Frustrated Oriole

My heart goes out to the male northern oriole who periodically attacks the large under-gable window on the south side of the house. It does, however, give me good, close-up views of his impressive beauty and suggests that there are orioles nesting nearby. -- *A. Thomas Vawter, Ph.D.* Assoc. Sci

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Several thousand snow geese lower lake rd west side northern cayuga lake

The huge raft of snow geese was quite a sight on the azure lake in the bright sun on Thursday as I drove down "Pumpkin Hill" into Aurora. Too far to the west side of the lake to get any detail w/ my binoculars, but unmistakeable. Tom On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 1:33 PM, david nicosia wrote: > Now.

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 h

Re: [cayugabirds-l] pecking order

This winter, unlike previous ones, we've been besieged by jays. I've counted, what I think is probably an extended family of 7 or so all fighting for control of the one platform feeder and/or the two cylinders in which I offer sunflower seeds. The jays seem to be top dogs, and it irks me, because
