[cayugabirds-l] Western Tanager at Day Hall Cornell

2016-03-07 Thread Kathy & Dan C . 
About 3:00 p.m. today the tanager was sitting on the wall directly over the 
underground entrance to the campus store.  It flew into the small tree in the 
courtyard below for a few minutes until a group of people walked too close by.  
It flew down towards the trees in Wee Stinky Glen where I lost track of it.  A 
lifer for me!

[cayugabirds-l] Western Tanager at Day Hall Cornell

2016-03-06 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
My posted message from 4 PM seems to have been lost in cyberspace...

Around 4 PM today (Sun.) I and others (Sandy, Bruce) got good looks at the 
WESTERN TANAGER in areas around the west side of Day Hall on the Cornell Campus.
The bird:
sat in a short tree by the SW door of Day Hall,
flew a few times into the spruce trees above the alcove entrance to the 
underground Cornell Store,
flew 2 times down into the Cornell Store entrance alcove and ate dried dark 
blue fruits off the pavement and off the vines on wall,
flew up to the wall over the entrance doors to the store, then hopped down onto 
the lawn behind that wall.

It chased away House Sparrows that were trying to get the food it was eating.
