Hi all,
A Merlin flew overhead my office window just a few seconds ago, but in southern 
direction! It was fairly low.

[cayugabirds-l] HELP PLEASE

2014-04-03 Thread Rustici, Marc
Our facility has a mirrored elevator shaft in the wooded courtyard.
Today this has become a tower of death to a flock of cedar waxwings.
They are flying into it and many are dying.   To make matters worse
there is a tree with berries that have probably fermented close by.   

 

Does anyone have a quick and inexpensive solution?  We have one black
silhouette of a raptor on the lower part of the building but clearly
that is not working.  

 

Help is appreciated.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] SSW this morning

 

I led some of the attendees of our Sound Analysis Workshop on a walk
around the grounds at Sapsucker this AM. 

Highlights:

EASTERN PHOEBE singing on south side of pond,

RED-SHOULDERED HAWK spiraled over us in the sun for several minutes,

EASTERN BLUEBIRDs (one on knoll box, one on W Wilson),

TREE SWALLOW on adjacent box on knoll,

RUSTY BLACKBIRDs on N Wilson,

singing BROWN CREEPER on Podell,

WOOD DUCKs flew over us on Sherwood

GREAT BLUE HERON flew over us on Podell than landed in the front by the
observatory in the open water

singing PURPLE FINCH on NW Wilson (some saw it and described it as
likely a juvenile as it had strong eye stripe but little purple, but it
was singing full song which we all heard)

[cayugabirds-l] Phoebe visits nest site

2014-04-03 Thread Geo Kloppel
Here on the northeastern side of 1,920' Sorry Hunter Hill in West Danby we've 
finally lost enough snow that the Fox Sparrows can rake and rummage the ground 
under the shrub thickets, and of course they're singing lustily. Honey bees are 
out too! The Eastern Phoebe that's perching familiarly on branches just beyond 
the eaves of my workshop this morning seems in all likelihood to be the newly 
returned owner of this traditional nest site. My pond is still frozen, but the 
rotting ice is very mushy now, and I trust it will soon vanish, and Wood Ducks 
will be visiting!

Hi all,

At about 1 o'clock today, there were 20 WILSON'S SNIPE in the same spot
that I reported a few days ago. They were much closer to the road and
actually flew up as a group and made some noise at one point.

[cayugabirds-l] Ladoga Park wetland

2014-04-03 Thread Candace Cornell
To my delight, the small, privately-owned wetland between Lake Shore and
Ladoga Park roads (just south of Myers Park, Lansing) had an assortment of
handsome ducks on it at 3 pm today--Northern Shoveler (m), Canvasback (m),
Redhead (m,f), Common Merganser (m,f), and Bufflehead (2 m)--along with a
host of noisy Red-winged Blackbirds staking out territories in the reeds,
and a striking Red-tailed Hawk watching from a tree limb above. That's
quite a gang of divers for such a small pond. Yesterday, male and female
Ring-billed Ducks took the place of today's Shoveler and Canvasback,
and a Great
Blue Heron substituted for the hawk. Also seen were in the surrounding
tangles were a Norther Mockingbird and three male Song Sparrows. The
wetland can be quite the bird-magnet at various times of the year and worth
checking out if you are near by.
