Here in the Sheldrake area we have Carolina Wrens year around and they have
several songs and chatters. One, in spring, it calls Teacher, Teacher over
and over. I always thought it was to call in a mate. They nest in my flower
basket hanging by my front door every year. And stand on porch railing
A FORSTERS TERN is foraging on Dryden Lake right now.

Had the pleasure of leading the SFO local group this
morning. All of us had no strict time constraints so
we decided to head up the east side of Cayuga Lake so
it really was not that local after all!
We didn't plan on it but we made it all the way up to
Montezuma since the birding was great.
*Bob Marx was an AVID birder, very familiar with their calls, esp. warblers,
and a real Butterfly guy as well. He loved the outdoors and had been an
encouragement to me(as was his son, Wayne, also passed on) at a time when I
was struggling. I still love both these men.

I lead an enthusiastic group of nine (or was it ten - or eleven -
people kept jumping in) up and around the lake today. Because I'm
tired and am going to do it all over again tomorrow, all I am going to
do here is list the highlights.
Myers Point: three Belted Kingfishers in aerial combat
Larry and I had a leisurely trip around the lake today. Because there
weren't the great numbers of waterfowl on the lake, our first main stop
was Mudlock to look at the BALD EAGLE on nest with at least one visible
gray fluff young. Steve Kress' SFO class was also observing the nest.
Of note
We have three, 33 1/3 LP records which we no longer want. If anyone can
use, please contact me off line. If a home is not found for them, we
will donate to Friends of Library Book Sale.
They are: Songbirds of American in color and sound and story (book album)
American Bird Songs Vol one (60
We stayed home today 'til about 4 p.m. before going for a leisurely ride to
tally osprey nests. Sun was wrong to look at MNWR birds but the carp were all
along the flooded field next to the Main Drive since the river is quite over
the banks.
Besides ours with 2 birds on Number One Rd.
In light of a recent request for removal, although under unfortunate
circumstances, I would like to provide subscribers with current information,
should any List- or Administrative-specific questions arise.

Susie I headed up to Lake Ontario today. First stop was BARB'S DINER in
LOCKE for a wonderful way to start the trip. Then on to Fair Haven Beach
State Park. On arrival we were surprised to see a veritable mass of TURKEY
VULTURES overhead, no flapping, no circling; all in loose formation
