[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins and other yard birds

Shannon and I had six siskins (try saying that 10 times fast) at our feeders this AM joining with the resident Goldfinch flock. Also our first of year Y-B Sapsucker started clanging on the metal roof of the barn 2 days ago and I heard the first Field Sparrow here this morning. The Sapsuckers

[cayugabirds-l] Mulholland vireo

Had a vireo singing look at me, way up here, in the tree at six-mile creek (mulholland preserve, towards the second dam). No bins and no visuals, alas. My untrained and rusty ears thought it felt blue-headed. Suan -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Two Turkey Vultures just flew by my Rhodes Hall office window nice and close ... one was scratching it's head with its foot as it glided by. Amusing sight. Ray -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

[cayugabirds-l] Crow -- caching or cooking?

[cayugabirds-l] Hermit Thrush

Around 5:00 today I saw a very cooperative HERMIT THRUSH along the East Hill Rec. Way. It was on the section between Mitchell St. and Honness Lane about 100' south of the signs which mark the start of the north end of the restricted part of the rec way. It was foraging in the leaf litter

[cayugabirds-l] Common Loon question

I live in Eastern Heights. While outside I thought i heard a Common Loon calling while in flight. I didn't see it. Do they call when they fly? It would be a first for me. Ann -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

[cayugabirds-l] Woodcock prowl

Wanting more of the cold, windy, faint American Woodcock encounter our Spring Ornithology class group had Tuesday night, tonight I went on my own Woodcock Prowl by the Snyder Rd./Airport fields. First I tried by the tall airport fence where our group went Tues. No Peents there. So, well

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Common Loon question

Yes, loons do vocalize while in flight. A few mornings ago, I was startled by a loon calling right over my head just above tree tops. Marty == Marty Schlabach m...@cornell.edu 8407 Powell Rd. home 607-532-3467
