[cayugabirds-l] Vesper Sparrow, Dryden Lake
Not much on Dryden Lake or George Road this morning (though I heard word there were a bunch of gulls, probably Bonaparte's, on Dryden Lake before I got there.) I also flushed a VESPER SPARROW off the road on Chaffee Road at Dryden Lake. FOX SPARROWS have been singing up a storm on Beam Hill the last few days. Today Purple Finch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Winter Wren joined them. Good birding.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] blue-headed vireo
Cool, I heard one too on my way to the bus this morning (at 7:40 if it matters as a basin first). Also year firsts for me were Fox Sparrow and White Crowned Sparrows both vocalizing in the same area. Add in Cardinal, Phoebe, Junco, and Purple Finch, and the air was *full* of beautiful song!

[cayugabirds-l] Caspian Terns, Pectoral Sandpipers, and more.
A quick run through Montezuma brought fewer ducks than last couple weeks but did see 15 Caspian Terns and about a dozen Pectoral Sandpipers, all in the new shorebird pool (before curve). East Road, Van Dyne Spoor Railroad roads had a lot of Wood Ducks, DC Cormorants, 1 Horned Grebe, and a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers (at Van Dyne Spoor Rd turnaround). Not much at the MAC except a Sandhill Crane putting on a display for himself. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Of course they do, and so much more! During this seminar, John will explore and discuss some of the amazing feats that crows and ravens are reknown for, investigating their biological bases and implications for how we share the world with another species that often gets our ire. Much of what John will discuss stems from the contributions of citizen observers.
