[cayugabirds-l] W-w scoters, E. Shore park

[peter wiedmann]

I was able to stop by the pagota at E Shore Park - 3:30 this afternoon, all the 
usual Aythya suspects were present but I counted 15 white-winged scoters off by 
themselves. A nice dry spot for viewing gulls also.Pete Wiedmann

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Merlin at East Hill Plaza

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi Anne,
I will keep an eye to find out the tag numbers or leg bands if I can see them. 
They seem to be very active right now. Also I need to get my better binoculars 
now onwards! Currently I am using my spare 7X20 Nikon.

Cheers
Meena

Hi Meena and List

FYI, red tags are our 2012 cohort.  Might be 6V DBAR12, raised across Judd 
Falls from the Herb Gardens.  We are particularly on the lookout for 6V's 
bands-only 13 year old dad, P2 DBAR00, who has only a pair of color bands 
(light bluish and greenish--both faded) on right leg.

We suspect that most of the DBAR family succumbed to West Nile last summer...at 
least all 2013 young and P2 disappeared soon after the young were confirmed 
fledged, around the time that our first WNV victims were turning up. 6V's 
siblings disappeared or died of WNV in 2012...the one found dead on territory 
was confirmed WNV+. So we know that WNV carrying mosquitoes were in the Mundy 
Garden-Herb Garden area that the DBAR family was using.

The losses were sufficiently broad and heavy on breeding adults last year that 
we have very few families present on their 2012-2013 territories this winter. 
Thus, as we get closer to breeding season, Kevin, Leah Nettle 
(lnett...@binghamton.edu, list member)  and I 
will appreciate any sightings of banded and/or tagged birds--to us directly is 
fine, so the List in general is not bothered.

Thanks everyone,


Anne

Hi all,
As the bus was entering the plaza, I noticed a dark bird chasing a smaller 
bird. It circled around and I think it got its prey and then it headed towards 
East Hill cemetery. I think it was a Merlin.

I also saw a No. Mockingbird sitting in the willows at the junction of Mitchell 
and Pine Tree road.

Just now a red-tagged crow was being followed by a non-tagged crow heading 
towards Vet School.

Thanks to everyone who responded. We think we have a good idea of what 
to look for, now all we need are the birds.
