[cayugabirds-l] Merlin at East Hill Plaza
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.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Merlin at East Hill Plaza
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.

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