At 7:00 pm a Virginia Rail was calling from the cattails on the south side of Hillview Road, West Danby, alongside the former Tompkins County landfill. The marsh is about 100 yards wide there, and the rail was near the back, where it meets the grassy mound capping the old landfill.
At about 10:00 am a Broad-winged Hawk flew through my yard with nest material. -Geo Kloppel -- 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/ --
