[cayugabirds-l] Sharp-shinns

Just a few moments ago two Sharp-shinned hawks were being chased from over BTI to USDA building and they circled and flew towards Vet school and disappeared. I also see lots of small birds, look like Blackbirds heading south. Will check Beebee lake at lunch time to see if any pied billed

[cayugabirds-l] Stray GBHeron

At about 9:45am this morning I noticed an (immature?) GBHERON foraging in the field at the SW corner of GameFarm Rd and Rte 366 intersection. This seems a little out-of-place and late in the season! On another note, yesterday we heard the loud cheery songs of a CAROLINA WREN once more in our

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Stray GBHeron

Nari, This is about the time when great blue herons abandon somewhat their traditional frog hunting, as the frogs are headed into the mud. I saw 2 GBH yesterday foraging in hay fields. They are after Microtus p.(a vole). A couple years ago we had a juvenile that spent much of 3-4 days hunting

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Danby white hawk has died

Speculation was the bird was well over 20 years old. I last saw it in an unusual spot, but not far from its normal hunting ground. Other than having seen it roughly every two weeks since 2000, and that it was seen with young this last breeding season, I have nothing else, except regrets about its

[cayugabirds-l] YC Kinglet etc.

A perky little Yellow-crowned Kinglet foraging in the Norway Spruce when I arrived back home about noon. Also my mystery bird singing--a Carolina Wren. It's fall song had me fooled again. I never expect that sound from any kind of wren and it catches me by surprise. (Paul Anderson--that was

[cayugabirds-l] 80 Turkey Vultures on Waterburg Rd.

My daughter, Lisa, and I saw a group of 80 Turkey Vultures circling and sitting in the snow-covered trees along Waterburg Rd, between Rt. 79 and Aiken Rd. in Enfield, around noon today. When we passed by about 20 minutes later, they were gone, but we encountered large groups of TVs in flight on

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Danby white hawk has died

I just looked at my few pictures of this bird and I don't know if the leg bands are higher, but on this particular shot, I don't see a band. The pictures were from Feb. 2008. http://www.pbase.com/dianawhitingphoto/image/10820867918360148 I wonder if the one found, could be an

[cayugabirds-l] Nashville Warbler this morning

This morning I was trying to photograph some White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows in the contrasting snow and autumn foliage. I was surprised to find a Nashville Warbler in the tree near my feeders. Here's a photo: http://www.pbase.com/image/118360513 Is it late for this species?

[cayugabirds-l] Towpath this afternoon Cackling Goose 10/16/09

It was sunny here this afternoon so I decided to try again to find a Cackling Goose. I succeeded because I've spent a lot of time search and because I dared to drive down the muddy towpath which is also full of potholes.Notes: The Cackling Goose was much smaller than the Canada Geese and
