Yesterday (Wed.) late afternoon I saw 3 male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at my hanging suet cake hanging near my window. They took turns standing on the cage, leaning over and eating. They had a fine time between the suet and the big sunflower feeder. When they were away from the suet, the male Baltimore Oriole was eating the suet. This morning (Thur.) 6:30 the Oriole was back on the suet cake. Fly off and then back on. Paid no attention to the Oriole nectar feeder hanging nearby .
From the porch at 7:15 a.m. I enjoyed listening to a wood thrush up, back, in the woods. Warblers flitting thru the tops of trees - hard to identify at their speed. Yesterday 2:30 p.m. I drove on Rt. 89 past the Osprey nest near Deans Cove. The male was sitting up in a tree across the road from the nest. I couldn't see the female on the nest but the nest looks deep so she may not show up from the road. Keeping track of all the birds leaves no time for work (:J) Naomi Brewer Sheldrake/Wyers Pt. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
