[cayugabirds-l] Cornell T.V s

2010-12-23 Thread J. Gary Kohlenberg
Driving by Bluegrass Lane and the Cornell golf course yesterday afternoon there 
were seven Turkey Vultures coursing low over the golf course. The white light 
made the silvery flight feathers look brighter than I have ever seen before.
Crows and gulls were streaming down Fall Creek. I think all these birds were 
returning from the compost piles. I've been seeing TVs on every visit to 
Stevenson Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Redpolls

2010-12-23 Thread Jeff Gerbracht
We were planning on driving out of state last night but circumstances
prevented our planned departure, luckily, because we were greeted this
morning with 2 Common Redpolls mixed in with the Goldfinches at our feeders
this morning.  I hope they show up at everyone else's feeders as well, makes
a nice Christmas present.
 Happy Holidays and Good Birding everyone,
 Jeff

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Lewis's Woodpecker along Cayuga lake East shore

2010-12-23 Thread Meena Haribal
A colleague of mine told me that she saw a woodpecker, which she had never seen 
earlier at her house. She knows all the woodpeckers from this area. She 
described that it was greenish brown and had some reddish on the head. She did 
not get chance to see the front of the bird as it kept facing away from her. 
And it was seen for a short period.  So we looked up the web for the pictures 
and she thinks it could be the LEWIS's WOODPECKER, she was fairly positive 
about it.

This bird was seen where a few a years ago a Red headed woodpecker was seen by 
many of us. May be a couple of miles up the lake from Ithaca.

So keep your eyes open. Unfortunately, my colleague is also leaving town soon 
so it may not be seen in next few days.

[cayugabirds-l] King Eider from Treman

2010-12-23 Thread mwitmer
1255: From west side of inlet (followed mowed trail from Treman Marine Park) 
spotted King
Eider directly 
across channel, bobbing up against the concete breakwater of the jetty. After 
one dive he
calmly churned 
his way diagonally up and across the inlet, joining the periphery of a throng 
of about 70
Mallards actively 
feeding off the west side of the ice edge. When I left at about 1315, the eider 
was
napping, bobbing with 
his head tucked. Also, 6 Ruddy Ducks (1 m, 5 f), 1 m Bufflehead, and 1 f Lesser 
Scaup, 6
C. Mergansers (3 
m, 3f), 56 Gr. Black-backed Gulls, 5 Herring Gulls, 1 Ring-billed Gull.
