Re: [cayugabirds-l] 65 Sandhill Cranes

2017-10-28 Thread bob mcguire 
The Sandhill Cranes were not in evidence on Armitage Road at 11 this morning. 
Lots of hunters, though. 9 Cranes flew in, calling, when I checked 
Knox-Marsellus at 10:45. I have no idea where the rest of them found refuge. 

If you drive up there today, check on the 2 newly-arrived CATTLE EGRETS at 
Goose Haven on Rt 89. 

The shorebird mix at Bennings Marsh kept changing. At one point there were 9 
Long-billed Dowitchers, 7 Pectoral Sandpipers, and some 30 Dunlin. Plus one 
each of Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 65 Sandhill Cranes

2017-10-28 Thread rachelhogancamp810 
I swung by around 5:30 yesterday and didn’t see them. I did see a number of 
tundra or trumpeter swans in the fields (hard to tell because they were pretty 
far away) heading down Armitage, some harriers and eagles.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 65 Sandhill Cranes

2017-10-26 Thread Geo Kloppel 
I’m more interested in what to call these post-breeding assemblages of mostly 
unrelated individuals, which I guess are about sharing the task of watching for 
predators while feeding and roosting. In German the word is  
“gesellungsverband”, if I read aright. “Survival group” seems to be the usual 
translation, but I wonder if something more colorful isn’t hiding somewhere in 
the English language?
