[cayugabirds-l] Triphammer Terrace Redpoll flock now 100

I checked for the Redpolls again this morning and am giving myself another chance to try to type 'flock' . At ca. 0800 h I counted 105 Redpolls in two adjacent birches. Yesterday a Red-tailed Hawk cruised over and the flock briefly evacuated the triangular patch of birches. Today, a

[cayugabirds-l] Common Redpolls in Brooktondale

8 Common Redpolls showed up today at our feeders in Brooktondale---and on our Project FeederWatch day. And it's a good thing, because all the other birds we've been watching all week seem to have evaporated with the warmer weather. We had a little excitement a few days ago when a Long-tailed

[cayugabirds-l] Redheads

Despite three boatloads of hunters shooting near the lighthouse jetty and regular gunfire from the north as well, approximately 1900 Redheads and 2 Canvasbacks congregated in front of my house just north of Hog Hole for a while. Yesterday there were 5 Tundra Swans (inclucing the young one with

[cayugabirds-l] Cedar Waxwings Mt. Pleasant

Although my friend's search for snow buntings on Mt. Pleasant this morning did not yield any larks or buntings, she did see a large flock of Cedar Waxwings in what she called a scrubby hedgerow not far from the Observatory. She said the Waxwings just kept coming, and estimates their number to be

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Triphammer Terrace Redpoll flock - Wednesday pm

I found the redpolls this afternoon (Wednesday) around 4:15. There are a number of birches in this area, but the redpolls are focussing their attention on the few that have catkins remaining. As Stuart mentioned to me, this food source may not last much longer. The large Snow Bunting flock on

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake 29Dec10

I took a year-end spin around the lake today, with mixed results. I started off glancing at the south end from Rt. 89 above Hog Hole, where no ducks were in evidence close to shore, except for a female Mallard full of birdshot being retrieved by a bird dog. The Redhead flock was a little farther

[cayugabirds-l] Count Weekl summary so far

Okay, I apologize for yet another message. I guess I just get excited. This is a summary of Count Week highlights so far. I spent some time at Stewart and East Shore Parks today because business was so slow, then went home early and spent more time at Treman Marine Park: SNOW GOOSE - 1 adult

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Count Weekl summary so far

Just one bird to add -- a single GREAT BLUE HERON in the thawed Ithaca Relief channel near Lowe's in Ithaca today, with about 60 Mallards. I did not scope the ducks further along the canals for possible GW Teal or others, but this can be a birdy pace on count day. KEN Ken Rosenberg Director

Check at Triphammer Terrace area at 10:00 AM , no redpolls. Moved on to Mount Plesant, no Snow buntings to be seen. Lots of finches and Blue Jays at Lab of O feeders. Now home, shoes off and warm. Carl Steckler -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME
