I've stayed out of this discussion, but this morning four duck hunters were
shooting ducks in Stewart Park, just off the tennis courts. Although they
might technically be legally "offshore", they could have walked to the parking
lot without getting their feet wet. And they barely got their feet
Evening Grosbeaks continue this morning. They're not coming to my feeders, but
hanging out in my neighbor's yard. She has a bigger sunflower operation, but
it's not visible from the road. I will try to put up a feeder today, within
sight of the road for the benefit of car birders. Will keep you
Hi Dave, Kevin, et al.,
I thought it might be worth pointing out that the issue of hunters hunting
“in the water” is based on substantial case law and even a U.S. Supreme Court
ruling. I am not saying anybody should like the behavior of hunters doing
this, but it is clearly legal. Actual
It seems to me that large bird flocks are moreprone to take flight
suddenly as a group simply because the large number makes it more
probable that one or more birds moves suddenly, causing the whole group
to take fright/flight. Smaller flocks have a smaller probability at any
given moment.

Gunners packed up from Stewart Park, headed NW. Still some birds in SE corner.

This clever looking birdhouse appears to be glued to the roof tile and made of
clay, itself.
So, how does one clean it out periodically?

Hmm...the wording isn't terribly clear, but it sounds like the idea is that the
nest itself is below the tile and not entirely within the box: the box would
just provide the entrance. I'm guessing this based on the article says that
"Birds often create nesting areas within the roofs of houses",
At dusk today, I spotted a few (4?) long rafts of many dark-headed ducks near
the Boy Scout Camp on the WEST shore of Cayuga Lake, ACROSS from Bill George Rd
and Lansing Station Rds. (on the East side).
Didn't have my scope along in car, so I could not determine species.

Gary and I scoured the Ovid area for SHORT-EARED OWLS, but Usually if
you see Northern Harriers, you see Short-eared Owls. There were none of
either species. There was lots of corn in the fields. I think the owls like
hay better. The search is on.
Good Birding,
Ann
