Tony Henderson just spotted 2 Sandhill Cranes for us on the dike at the Visitor
Center. They flew off North east croaking.

This morning a SNIPE has been winnowing and flying around the south end of
Boiceville Road. A neighbor said she heard it Saturday evening, also.

Unfortunately, with spring, comes TICKS.
Even before the snow melted 2 weeks ago, I pulled 4 engorged ticks off my
Golden Retriever.
Then this last week, I pulled one off ME !
It was probably a dog tick, but I went to the Dr. for Doxycycline , just in
case.
There are a lot of ticks in the
Forgot to mention that I took Becky to the Cayuga Lake Creamery on Rte. 89 to
celebrate our findings last Wed.. That's another new place for her. Jeff Judy
said they will be celebrating 7 yrs. doing business at the Creamery with a fun
type celebration ... 7 May, I think.
For those who
I thoroughly enjoyed leading another group of eager birders up and
around the lake today. The idea was, of course, was to work on ID
skills, but also to introduce them to (or remind them of) the great
locations at the north end of the lake. We worked hard on ducks and
swans and assorted
So, Bob McGuire SFO group saw the male pheasant today. Becky I saw it on
Wed. (but didn't report it) someone else reported it a couple days later. I
think it is one released for hunting season that just doesn't know where it
should go.
Three yrs. ago I found a dead one in the road just east
Kevin and I went around the lake today as well. I don't have much to add to
Bob's report, but we did see a couple of different things.
First, I should note that the EURASIAN WIGEON present at Tschache Pool
straight out from the tower was an atypical bird. It had a paler orange
face than most
The local SFO group was small with just three students: Joan and Bob Horn
and Stephanie Herrick. We spent most of our time at Dryden Lake and walking
a loop around the Jim Schlugg Trail, Keith Lane and Lake and West Lake
Roads. We were able to compare females of all three merganser species.
I have a singing Pine Siskin in the yard this morning. Someone yesterday
mentioned a similar observation (I think it was on the Confers' excellent
Goetchius Preserve walk Saturday evening).
Also, singing American Tree Sparrow, a bird whose song I just learned.

It's been a few years, but Judy and I had a family of pheasants here
on Whitted Rd: male, female, and several chicks. And from time to time
we still encounter a pair. I suspect that a few of the released birds
manage each year to survive long enough to mate and provide juicy
young morsels
Hey Marie, but how can I otherwise say I got 154 species of bird in CLB
instead of actual 153? But we cant count Trumpeter Swans, though we have
evidence that they are breeding. I am another devil or devil's advocate??
I too lead an enthusiastic group of birders for two days in MWC. Most of
Well at least some NORTHERN BOBWHITES made it through this winter, as this
morning at 10:15 I saw a covey of 10 off in a field on the south side of Route
79--just west of the intersection with Snyder Hill Rd, in fact.

Hi all,
Ton and i spent a lovely day today (Sunday) going around Cayuga Lake, starting
at the Lab of Ornithology, then to Stewart Park, Meyers, on up the east side,
through Montezuma, up to Railroad Rd (only a N. Harrier - nothing else seen or
heard there), Morgan and Carncross Rds. (NO
