I was in Rochester yesterday, but back at home this morning, and still have a
Yellow-billed Cuckoo calling. The call is a harsh throaty "Kowp Kowp
Kowp Kowp Kowp Kowp Kowp Kowp"
I had decided that I just couldn't describe the differentiation of Black-billed

Last night, during our sunset walk at Salt Point in Lansing, Joe and I got
some nice views of the osprey pair sharing a fish on the platform edge.
When we were ready to leave (it was getting quite dark by then) one osprey
was down incubating presumably while the other stayed alert on the perch

Hi all,
My neighbor has a pet mimickingbird, I don't know what species it is. But daily
morning from 4.30 to 5.15 am or so it mimics various calls and also I it has
its own song I think. I would have to like it recorded but unfortunately my
recorder was full. I did not feel like getting up to f
Hi Richard,
The range map for Northern Mockingbird in *Birds of North America*
indicates that they breed as far north as southern Ontario, and are
permanent residents as far north as Watertown, NY. Regarding migratory
habits, BNA says it is

There is a family of house sparrows nesting with the ospreys again this
year at Salt Point. My *Salt Point On Osprey Time* blog #11 (http://www.

address this, but it has not been posted yet as our web master is in
Finland.

Yesterday morning, after 38 days of incubation, the first osprey egg at
Salt Point hatched. I suspect there are two more eggs on the way, but it is
purely a guess. The Baltimore Orioles around the osprey platform serenaded
the new chick and it was a wonderful day at the point.
I would like to sinc
Hi all,
The idea of identifying winter ranges from songs that are mimicked is neat,
and while it may not work for Northern Mockingbirds, it possibly could be used
for other species. I know of only a single person who ever tried doing this
(there could easily be more…I don’t know the song li
At Sunken Meadow S.P. on L.I., there was a House Finch pair nesting in the
lower level of an Osprey's nest.

When I used to photograph the Bald Eagles at Mud Lock, I saw House Sparrows
within the Eagle's nest as well, so I wasn't too surprised to hear that they do
it to Ospreys as well. I'm glad to hear that the sparrows may provide some
benefit to the Ospreys, as well. I hate the House Sparrows beca
Seven of us explored Connecticut Hill this morning for the CBC field trip. No
prothonotary, nor in fact any of the highlights from scouting (I should stop
scouting before trips, as they always seem to find more stuff than the actual
trip :-). But we did get good scope looks at a cooperative ches
