John Cisne,
A pair has been vocalizing the last few mornings up the block. Activity focused
on a grove of tall Norway Spruce at Washington and Nursery. Also a roost for a

Hi everyone,
This morning I took a walk at Dryden Lake and am happy to say that the lake is
ice free. I found a flock of ring-necked ducks and scaup, and with them a pair
of long-tailed ducks. The flock flew off the lake after one of the local bald
eagles came too close, but they circled
FWIW, last weekend while driving up the lake, I spied a brownish falcon
hunting the field immediately south of the King Ferry winery. When I pulled
over to check it out it flew away to the east and I could never get a
binoculared look to ID it, but I think it was a merlin.

several mature conifers near the very bottom of Cliff Street in Ithaca. When I
finally saw it, it was flying in a big clockwise arc around
A group of hooded mergansers and a blue heron spied in the swamp between
Mineah/Midline and Pleasant Hollow Rd. on Ringwood Rd. this morning. The
season’s first.

Last spring, I was working from home so had ample time to walk around my
neighborhood midday, and discovered a Merlin nest site in the Washington Street
Cemetery on Washington Street in Geneva. Their NOISE is what attracted my
attention first. Then I found where I thought the nest was (30+ feet
From my yard, it’s been seeming that most of the Merlin activity has been
concentrated around the row of White Pine trees behind the dumpsters of the two
apartment buildings on Tareyton, in the area that there was a crow nest 2 years
ago (I think 2 years ago…). When I’ve been watching a
