Excellent variety of songbirds along East Trail near small pond by 91 Sapsucker Woods Road, 2:05 pm. Multiple Bay-breasted, B-t Green, N. Parula, etc. plus a calling raven across the little pond. I could use help sorting through everything, actually... Mark Chao -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

I followed the Blue Jay flock through my binocs as they flew off, they landed in the distance several times , in oaks as far as I could tell, but didn't stick around. Has anyone noticed whether the acorn crop is good this year in the region? I have not seen very many acorns on my trips to the

Ooops. No "American" in those tree swallow. Just tree swallows, and maybe they were Canadian, anyway. Sorry about that slip of the keyboard. On Fri, Sep 30, 2016 at 4:22 PM, Karen Edelstein wrote: > Joe Wetmore and I just returned from several days in the Provincetown, MA >

Joe Wetmore and I just returned from several days in the Provincetown, MA area. On Monday, while we were hiking to High Head Beach (North Truro) along the Cape Cod National Seashore, we witnessed what seems to be a fairly lightly documented phenomenon in that area: the massing of American tree

Very few acorns in the red oak trees in my area. It seems to be an off year for nut mass. Donna Scott Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 30, 2016, at 11:34 AM, Marie P. Read wrote: > > I followed the Blue Jay flock through my binocs as they flew off, they landed > in the

I was in Cape May on Monday, and saw a similarly large flock of tree swallows, first gathering, then murmurating like starlings. I did not try to estimate numbers. Here's a lousy iPhone video clip, barely hinting at the scale: https://www.facebook.com/suan.yong/videos/10210920362223036/ Suan

2016-09-30 Thread Laura Stenzler
There is a very large number of vultures along Stevenson Rd in Ithaca right now. 100 or more. No binoculars with me so I didn't scan for black vultures. In the trees, on the fences in the pheasant farm and on the barns. Laura Laura Stenzler l...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Catching my breath at the top of the observatory hill on Mt Pleasant Road around 10:15, I noticed Blue Jays perched in a large oak. Suddenly a big flock of Blue Jays took off and headed SE...I estimated about 60. Never seen such a large flock up there. I tell you, it was YUGE! ;-) Marie
