[cayugabirds-l] Factory pond, Union Springs, NY

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

Some of you might want to see Factory pond. Beaver has felled 2 fair 
sized trees along the south side. One has fallen almost entirely into 
the water. The other is about 1/2 in the water. Geese & ducks have never 
been able to swim where they are now. Gets more interesting each day.


When at the P.O. at 2 p.m. I saw a bald eagle fly over the village &, 
once again, fly to the WSW out to the lake. Men are ice fishing out near 
Frontenac Island so if I wasn't so old, I'd go for a walk to the island 
again. Much easier when some snow is underfoot. Walking on bare ice is 
nearly impossible. Some 22 yrs. ago a group from our church walked, 
slid, "danced" our way to the island. Kathy Strickland's son wisely had 
brought his ice skates & had no problem.


Beautiful, sunny, VERY crisp, windy day here. Must remember to stop at 
Mud Lock & Aurora Bay soon to check the eagle nests. The one at Great 
Gully may be a mite too far away.

A friend just sent me a text saying she saw a Snowy Owl in a field
along 96 near the old Trumansburg mini-golf center.

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls back

[W. Larry Hymes]

Two COMMON REDPOLL (M & F) returned to our yard today.  They seem to be 
feeding more comfortably with the other birds, so perhaps they will 
stick around for awhile.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] cowbird?

[Gary Kohlenberg]

Hi Liz,
It certainly could have been a BH Cowbird. They will occasionally overwinter in 
our area. There has been a large flock,(~50) visiting feeders at Lake Como 
again this winter.
Happy birding,
Gary

Hi all,


This morning I had what looked like an all-black cowbird at my feeder in 
Mecklenburg - it had the overall shape and heavy bill of a brown-headed 
cowbird, and was roughly the same size, but it was black all over. I can say 
with certainty that it wasn't a blackbird or a grackle.


Any ideas? I'll try to get a picture if it comes back.


Thanks,

Liz Brown
