[cayugabirds-l] My FOY Rusty Blackbird
While out driving along Fitzgerald Road in Schuyler County this morning, I came up on a mixed species foraging flock along side the road. Closer inspection with binoculars showed many Robins, several Cardinals, a few Starlings and Juncos and, what I thought at first was a Red-winged Blackbird. While the body structure and bill were the same as a RWBL, the body plumage was all jet black and it had a yellow iris. I took a few pictures of this Rusty, which I will upload to accompany my eBird list. Then, after driving a bit further down Fitzgerald, I came upon a few Horned Larks and one lone Snow Bunting. Pictures will be coming soon to join that eBird list. Finally! Some roadside birds this winter!

[cayugabirds-l] FOY for me, White-crowned Sparrows
I was parked along Fitzgerald Rd. Just South of Rt. 79 in Schuyler county. 2 WCSP were seen along side of the road and one was heard in the distance. I took some photos and will add them to my eBird list in a few hours.

[cayugabirds-l] FOY GBH
A Great Blue Heron is walking around the bank of our still frozen pond here outside of Mecklenberg this morning. It looks a bit strange to me to see one on the snow.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red Wings
This morning had my FOY Red-winged at the feeder. Kind of bizarre seeing Red-winged at one feeder and 3 Redpolls at the other at the same time. Summer meets Winter.

[cayugabirds-l] Special visitor at our pond
At about 5:30 tonight, as I walked around our half acre pond, I scared up a Least Bittern that was at the pond edge. I got to within 15 feet of it when if flew up in front of me, which startled me, and it flew 50 feet directly away from me heading for a pine tree. It flew into the pine, but I couldn’t see it land. Never found it again. I feel badly that I made it leave a place that perhaps it was going to spend the night.

[cayugabirds-l] FOY in Mecklenberg, too
3 Wood Thrushes, a Catbird and Grosbeak are all FOY for me here on my property. Still have Purple Finches, and up to 9 White-throated Sparrows - morn than I had all winter. Seems yesterday’s weather system pushed, or pulled a number of migrants.

[cayugabirds-l] Brown Pelican near Oswego
Late this afternoon I was at Sunset Bay Park on the Lake Ontario shore East of Oswego watching and photographing about 55 Caspian Terns and I did a double-take when I saw and immature Brown Pelican floating about one hundred yards off shore. So I turned my camera on it. I continued to shoot bursts as it flew toward me and over me so closely that it was difficult to keep it in the viewfinder. As it flew, it was being harassed by any nearby gull and tern in much the same manner as a Red-tailed Hawk would be by a flock of smaller birds. I got a few nice shots of it in the water, flying solo and being harassed. Unfortunately, I left my laptop at home and I have no way to get the photos off the camera’s SD card. I’ll have to wait until I get back home later Wednesday night to get them into my computer and convert them from RAW into JPEG to get them up to eBird. But I couldn’t wait until then to tell all of you CBC folks about it.

[cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrow fallout
At 2:25 PM Monday, there are at least 26 Chipping Sparrows on the ground under my feeders! Plus that male Pine Warbler is still here and a couple of Towhees. However I did not see the Fox Sparrow today so far.

[cayugabirds-l] Evening Grosbeaks
I just had 5 EVGB at my tray feeder here at my property just West of Mecklenberg on Rt 79. Four females and one male. They shared the tray with three MODOs, then flew off on their own accord. I’m going out now to put more black oil sunflower in the tray in case they return.
