Hi All,
We had a Wood Thrush singing its heart out tonight here in the village of
Skaneateles. That is a new yard bird. Must be all the trees we have planted
make things a bit more attractive even if It is only a pit stop. On the other
hand the Red-breasted Nuthatch pair continues in our yard.
Hi All,
There were 57 Sandhill Cranes today at Knox Marcellus. They took off westerly
at around 1:30. Earlier I saw some in a distant field just off of East Rd.
heading towards Rt. 31.

Hi All,
Today I found a Meadow Lark on Center St. just east of Route 129. I noticed
it’s silhouette in a shrubs and was able to make out some color besides the
shape against the sun. Then it flew across the road landing low in the grass
where I was able to get a couple very distant poor but iden
Hi All,
Yesterday there was a single Osprey on a nest on route 20 just west of the
refuge entrance on the south side of the road. Lots of Turkey Vultures around
the refuge complex too.

I heard the FOY Eastern Phoebe today in the yard. Staying home does have some
perks.

Hi All,
I was able to watch the Prothonotary Warbler on Armitage Rd. For. an extended
period of time. In the morning it was mostly foraging and singing as well as
displaying periodically. Then in mid day, it started bringing moss into the
nest box. I was wondering if this is the male making mo

Hi All,
My husband is going to build me a couple platform feeders. I am a little
concerned about birds getting their feet caught in the screen. Does anyone have
any suggestions or experience to prevent that, but also allow for drainage and
cleaning ?

Hi All,
Today I saw an American Widgeon with different colored cheeks than what I think
would be normal. They were a golden yellow color. When I tried to look it up, I
found it to be called a variant color. Anyway it was in the main pool and
enjoying a lot of stolen meals from the coots.

I have seen other birds do these, most recently snow buntings, horned larks and

Hi All,
I had a friend email me quite the story yesterday. He was in a box store in
the garden center. While he was in line, he noticed a house sparrow fly into
the store when the door was open. He watched the bird, wondering how it would
get out. The bird then flew to the door, hovered by the

Hi All,
Today while waiting for an appointment, I stopped by Onondaga Lake. I found a
flock of about 100 starlings. Almost every one that I saw had a wooly bear
caterpillar in its beak and they were slapping the caterpillar back and forth
across the blacktop. It was windy and occasionally one w

The bird that was attacked by the Gyrfalcon was one of the birds that has been

Ran into an experienced birder today around 2:30 that had seen the Ross's Gull

I have maintained a feeder all summer too with no results until yesterday when
my husband saw one there briefly. We never seem to have any despite many
plantings for them until August or when the Bee Balm and Rose of Sharon are
flowering so I guess it is on time for our yard.

Hi All,
If it can’t be a real fox, it was sure a nice surprise to see a beautiful Fox
Sparrow under the feeder today. New yardbird for us In Skaneateles village.

Hi All,
A friend of mine opened their car to find a loose ‘nest’ of what looks like
dried grass or fine little sticks. In the middle was a dead goldfinch. Any
ideas about a story here? I was wondering if a chipmunk would drag a bird
there. It seems unlikely place for a goldfinch to nest. The m

I have kept my hummingbird cafe open and a juvenile was feeding on the salvia.
I put a feeder out, but they always seem to just choose the flowers.

Hi,
I find it interesting in this discussion that there is no mention of all the
other places that one can walk in the complex as well as the MAC. The wildlife
drive to my knowledge is the only place where they ask you to stay in the car.
Yes, Knox Marcellus might be more accessible, but they ha
Hi,
It is in Baldwinsville. The trail is not too far, but want you to know it can
be ice covered so you might want those ice trackers for your boots. Hate to
have someone fall. I haven't been this year, but I know from other times. Good
luck!
