Re: [cayugabirds-l] MNWR discsussion

Hi, I find it interesting in this discussion that there is no mention of all the other places that one can walk in the complex as well as the MAC. The wildlife drive to my knowledge is the only place where they ask you to stay in the car. Yes, Knox Marcellus might be more accessible, but they

Hi, It is in Baldwinsville. The trail is not too far, but want you to know it can be ice covered so you might want those ice trackers for your boots. Hate to have someone fall. I haven't been this year, but I know from other times. Good luck! Diana Whiting Sent from my iPhone On Dec 23,

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl

Hi All, The bird that was attacked by the Gyrfalcon was one of the birds that has been banded. It has a really dark head, but upon viewing it on the computer, I could easily see a color difference in the dark head from the body. A check with a friend who is familiar with the banding process

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

I have maintained a feeder all summer too with no results until yesterday when my husband saw one there briefly. We never seem to have any despite many plantings for them until August or when the Bee Balm and Rose of Sharon are flowering so I guess it is on time for our yard. Diana

Hi All, I was able to watch the Prothonotary Warbler on Armitage Rd. For. an extended period of time. In the morning it was mostly foraging and singing as well as displaying periodically. Then in mid day, it started bringing moss into the nest box. I was wondering if this is the male making

[cayugabirds-l] American Widgeon with yellow cheeks

Hi All, Today I saw an American Widgeon with different colored cheeks than what I think would be normal. They were a golden yellow color. When I tried to look it up, I found it to be called a variant color. Anyway it was in the main pool and enjoying a lot of stolen meals from the coots.
