There is a flock of BOHEMIAN WAXWNGS at the sharp corner as you first come off 13. Mary E. Winston Public Outreach Assistant Cornell Lab of Ornithology (607)-254-2473 Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad,

I, too, have now seen the flock of Bohemian Waxwings at the corner of Sapsucker Woods Rd near Rt. 13. When I was there, they were about due SW from the curve of the road, and about 10 m away from it. I got the info on the flock early, when I stopped to talk to Kevin McGowan about a Peregrine

The waxwings are currently on Sapsucker Woods Road between 13 and Kip's Barn. Right now there's a large batch of cars marking the spot and a few scopes on the birds. They are pretty far into the thicket at eye level in a mixed flock (both Cedars and Bohemians), sometimes flying in and out of a

Just a reminder that it's probably not a great idea to stand in the middle of Sapsucker Woods Rd. with your back to the traffic coming off of Route 13 and around a blind curve (especially as a sizable group), while trying to get a look at the waxwings. I believe there's plenty of room on the

Off former Union Springs Castelli's Marina I saw our 1st C. LOON for this spring. I also saw the BALD EAGLE nest in a tall tree west of Great Gully Rd. along the lake shore. Saw no bird in that nest but believe an eagle was in a tree farther south near what appears to be another nest. Not

Much to my surprise, there was a Short-eared Owl perched on a fence post along my driveway as I headed out this noon. It sat there calmly while I took pictures from about 30m away. Eventually it dropped to the ground and remained there until I flushed it several hours later when going to

Should have put that the eagle nest is seen from Rte. 90 at Great Gully Rd. where I parked then walked north about 200 ft. to set up my scope. I also parked by the guard rail a bit south of the white farm house for another view. Fritzie -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

A friend of mine, Tim Dorn, lives on the west side of the lake, by Buttonwood Winery, and has Barn Swallows nesting on his dock every year. A few of the early arrivals were back on Monday the 1st hawking some unseen insects. I don't know if they had been reported yet. Gary -- Cayugabirds-L
