[cayugabirds-l] seeking mockingbirds

2018-08-15 Thread Heidi King
Hello fellow birders,

My daughter (who is almost 6) has been working all summer to complete a
NYS-DEC youth birding challenge.

The last bird on her list is a Northern Mockingbird. I'd love to help her
complete the challenge, but have not spotted any myself this season.

Can anyone suggest a semi-reliable spot to see a Mockingbird to encourage
this young birder?

Thanks so much for any tips!
Heidi King

[cayugabirds-l] Ruby-throat & Oriole battle in Caroline

2018-05-10 Thread Heidi King
A Ruby-throated Hummingbird inspected our hummingbird feeder this
afternoon! Thanks to the folks on this list who mentioned it & got the ball
rolling to set up ours.

Also our first yard-sightings of Common Yellowthroat and House Wren.

The Baltimore Orioles have been singing and chasing each other all around
the yard today. This evening I heard loud screeching, and commotion in the
underbrush. I ran over and saw two Orioles tumbling around. They were each
locked onto the others' leg. I carefully picked them up (and received
numerous pecks), and with my husband's help, we disengaged their claws,
which were tangled in wet feathers.
Both flew away, and we were left to hope we'd done the right thing.

Heidi King,
Goodrich Hill Rd in Caroline

When going out to check the mail, I was rewarded with a good look at a
female American Redstart and male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

2016-12-20 Thread Heidi King
I was surprised to see a *male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker* visiting our suet
feeder this morning in Caroline.
Shouldn't they all have migrated further south by now?
