Re: [cayugabirds-l] Early migrants

We very often have bluebirds here in winter—Halseyville Rd in Enfield—but today one was checking out a bluebird box. Yesterday had a couple dozen red winged blackbirds under a feeder, and Saturday a single grackle.  On Feb 13, 2023, at 10:39 AM, Deb Grantham <d...@cornell.edu> wrote:  I have been seeing bluebirds around my property (Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line) and on Bundy Road (town of Ithaca) for the last week.

Yesterday I had an Eastern Bluebird feeding on the grassy bank below my house. This morning I‘m hearing their “turalee” calls as they pass overhead, and even full songs from several scouts checking out the nest boxes. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
