[cayugabirds-l] Wegman's birds

Looked for the Audubon's a little before noon but we were unsuccessful. Did see the Yellow Warbler in the weeds at the far very south end of the parking lot, near where they keep the snow plow. Sue -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian Migration Observatory 5373

[cayugabirds-l] Loons

as heading south. We were there from slightly before 08 to after 09. A single loon was in the water (surf?) off the point, northwest winds were in the 20mph sustained range and snow showers abounded. We did see a single Lesser Black-backed Gull close in off the point. JS -- John and Sue Gregoire Field

[cayugabirds-l] A surprise visitor

in but two hours! As if to honor the feeling of goodwill here, a Peregrine Falcon performed a leisurely fly by in the late afternoon. Our first PEFA of the year and a young bird. john -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Road

Jacalyn, Federal bands are not available to breeders. Many breeders use poultry bands from http://www.nationalband.com/. John -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Road Burdett,NY 14818-9626 Website: http://www.empacc.net

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow Warbler Saturday

A Yellow Warbler arrived early yesterday along with a large flock of Yellow-rumps (Myrtles) and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. On Thursday we had our first Rose-breasted Grosbeak. All this despite the radar showing a relative blank the last couple of nights. John -- John and Sue Gregoire Field

[cayugabirds-l] Anyone missing a Red-tailed Hawk?

We had a report of a RTHA with jesses seen at the intersection of Stillwell and Sirrine Rds yesterday. This is a TBurg section of eastern Schuyler Cty near the FLNF. We don't know of any falconers based operating in the area. John -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian

[cayugabirds-l] SFO and playback

sources, this could easily get out of hand much to the detriment of bird populations. Even worse if it even appears Cornell sanctions this method of birding.

Song Sparrows made it back here on the 13th. A single bird and it was banded! That's always great to see but we doubled down when an adult male redwing joined it -he was also wearing a band. Yesterday we had our first TV up here. J -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven

Marie, While I am firmly opposed to people around nest boxes during young development (causes a great increase in predation fm a study we did in the late 70s), I should mention that mourning doves are displaying and nest building now! john -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel
