RE:[cayugabirds-l] Impressive Robin flights

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Some time ago I watched impressive Robin flight in southerly direction in 
groups of 30 to 40. At least I saw 8 or 9 flocks while I was doing something 
else on the computer.

There was strong flock of some 8000+ crows which have been gathering on the 
trees along Beebe lake and Mundy, just across my office and swirling around for 
some time and some of them have been taking off further south-south west. Even 
my colleagues came to ask the questions as to what those birds are. When I told 
them they are crows, they were surprised and told me that they have never seen 
such number of crows! Once a flock flew over my office window, immediately my 
colleague took a picture of them with his cell phone.  It was an impressive 
sight!

Now they have thinned out!

Cheers

[cayugabirds-l] Fair Haven Monday - prob. Black-headed Gull

[tigger64]

Jim Tarolli and I had poor looks from the east/west breakwall as it headed 
west, but review of bad photos suggest Black-headed.  First photo is unedited, 
second crops and lightens to show bright orange/red bill.  Unfortunately I had 
been messing with the camera to take silhouettes against bold cloud patterns or 
a better shot would have been possible.  There are Bonaparte's hanging around 
on both the bay and pond and it may still be in the area - we're not sure if it 
continued west or looped back into the bay.
