[cayugabirds-l] Allegany Nature Pilgrimage, June 1-3, 2012

The new schedule won't be out for some time, but in the past this event has offered virtually non-stop birding from early-morning walks and bird banding to evening owl prowls.  In between there were mid-morning and afternoon birding field trips as well as an all-day Saturday trip.

[cayugabirds-l] Hanshaw Rd Geese Barred Owl

Yesterday at dusk, about 700+ Canada geese were migrating from the Hanshaw Rd. fields across from our house to the Sapsucker Woods' pond, honking loudly in chevron flight. From within our house and amidst the honking, I could distinctly hear a Barred Owl call who, who, who cooks for you all twice.

[cayugabirds-l] George Road pond 12Oct2011

Hi all, The George Road wetlands in Dryden were fairly active this morning this morning. There is now quite a bit of open water, lots of weedy vegetation for ducks to hide in, and a decent amount of muddy and grassy shoreline. Geese and diving ducks were conspicuously absent, but dabbling ducks

[cayugabirds-l] Am. Robin behavior question

I just spent a half hour watching a flock of Robins mob a pair of Pileateds in the woods here above Owasco Lake, hounding them from tree to tree, chasing them up above the canopy and down into the understory. Why? Is it because they Can in such large numbers? And what threat would the

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park turnover, etc.

Yesterday afternoon on my day off I biked over to Stewart Park. This morning and afternoon I stopped by there briefly in the taxi. Among the many CANADA GEESE, MALLARDS, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, and RING-BILLED, HERRING, and GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS, there was a changing mix of migrants.

I stopped briefly at Montezuma this morning on the way out towards Buffalo. The Visitors Center and Wildlife Drive held nothing unusual, just small numbers of waterfowl that were buzzed at the HQ by a Peregrine. There were only handfuls of Canada Geese present, and no sign of the White-fronted or

[cayugabirds-l] Shindagin Hollow--a sad day

My daughter and I took a walk through Shindagin Hollow late this morning. We found a WINTER WREN squashed flat in the road. How?? We did hear a live WINTER WREN berating us from the woods, however. We saw 2 HERMIT THRUSHES, and were vocally abused by a RED-TAILED HAWK. Steve Fast
