[cayugabirds-l] Sparrows

There appears to have been a significant movement of sparrows overnight, judging by the oodles of various sparrows scattering up from the roadsides this morning. Nelson's Sparrows anyone...? Good luck searching! Sincerely, Chris T-H Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://ww

[cayugabirds-l] Sparrows

[cayugabirds-l] sparrows and fruit

Hi all, Yesterday afternoon after the rain stopped, I took a long walk up Hunt Hill Rd. and down Hurd Rd. (town of Dryden, east of Ithaca). There were a surprising number of groups of birds around. The first group, along Hunt Hill Rd., consisted of a number of ruby-crowned kinglets, yellow-rum

Great resource list, Dave. Thanks! Richard: I was killing time before a doctor appt at Arrowwood Dr this AM and there were 2 singing Eastern Towhees, one right at the right angle corner (where the Town Trail starts) and another back in the woods. I did not try to find the close one but it was r

[cayugabirds-l] sparrows and Oregonish junco at Goetchius

Yesterday I found a small flock of sparrows working the roadside at the Goetchius Preserve parking areas, in Caroline on Flat Iron Road. With the 11 Savannahs and 1 Vesper was a single Dark-eyed Junco. It had a medium gray head and distinct bib, pinkish-brown sides, and brown back. Face and th

Hello, Alexa and I had the chance to go see the Clay-colored Sparrow at Lindsay-Parsons last week. Upon arrival (in the heat of the mid-afternoon), it was singing away from its reported location. The curious thing was how we first saw the bird - it was foraging on the mowed grass path next to a Fi

[cayugabirds-l] Sparrows

I counted 6 VESPER, 4 SAVANNAH, 3 AMERICAN TREE and 2 FIELD SPARROWS along Sapsucker Woods Road at the second bend from NYS-13. If there were any Chipping Sparrows in that flock, I missed them at noon and at 3:30pm. However I did have CHIPPING SPARROWS and lots of DARK-EYED JUNCOS several places to

There is a very good sparrow flight happening now. Possibly even more impressive are the northern lights. The sky is pink over Monkey Run right now. -Jessie Barry Ithaca, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/Cayugabirds

[cayugabirds-l] sparrows, Mecklenburg

I was pleased (and puzzled, since it's warmer) to finally get a nice flock of 12 Tree Sparrows at the feeders today, along with the two remaining White-throats (remember when they used to be springtime migrants?) The Tree Sparrows were singing so happily that I could hear them through the window.
