[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskin/finches_begging fledglings
After not being here for a while, my GOLD FINCHES started showing up to eat sunflower seeds and nyjer seeds again. Maybe this corresponds with nesting? No Siskins seen. I am still feeding birds at my deck and back yard feeders and one sunflower feeder out front. I can easily see many of the birds who come to the feeders, including amusing interactions between parent birds feeding at suet, nyger, sunflower seeds and fledglings fluttering their wings and begging for food. Have had these combos of NO. CARDINALS, BC CHICKADEES, TUFTED TITMOUSE, WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCH, DOWNY WOODPECKER, BLUE JAYS. Re HUMMINGBIRDS, I have seen a few, but the feeder is not emptying as fast as usual. Liquid got cloudy, so I cleaned and sanitized the feeder and re-filled it with sugar/water.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Golden-cheeked Warbler
Hi all, Just a word of caution: petitions are easy to sign without knowing the whole back-story. We've had this discussion several times before about looking into as much information as possible before signing something that may seem emotionally important without access to all the facts. As it turns out, I had dinner last night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the biologist who did much of the population survey work on Golden-cheeked Warblers relatively recently. He mentioned the moveon.org petition and how his phone has been ringing off the hook from media inquiries. Please get as much information as you can and become as informed as you can before just signing a petition. Thanks, Jody Jody W.

[cayugabirds-l] Robins routinely reuse nests? Invitation to find out!
To all members of Cayugabirds list, There was a lively recent discussion on the Cayugabirds-L eList about whether American Robins routinely reuse their nests. Some reported seeing reuse, a few others reported otherwise. The question is more complex and important than it seems at first glance; certainly not many cup-nesting species do so. There has been at least one paper published on nest reuse in European Blackbirds, a close cousin (Wysocki 2004. Nest re-use by blackbirds—The way for safe nesting? Acta Ornithologica, 39(2):164-168.) With permission of the List Owner, we--Marie Read and Anne Clark-- thought it would be interesting to gather your observations of robin nesting and clarify the patterns of reuse in our local robins, in order to understand when and why robins might reuse nests or nest sites. So we have developed a survey about the details of any robin nests and renests you have observed this year, with or without reuse of an old nest or site. We hope you will be interested in filling it out and sending in your data, so we can summarize your reports and look for interesting patterns. The resulting summary will be posted to the eList for everyone's enjoyment. If you are interested in participating, please send an off-list message to BOTH Marie Read ( mpr5 at cornell.edu) and Anne Clark (anneb.clark at gmail.com). It is important to send to both, since both have some away times, when the other will answer. Then we will send you the survey in the body of a reply email, with full instructions. Remember--we are interested in ANY observed robin nesting, with and without the reuse of a previously constructed nest. We look forward to hearing from you!

[cayugabirds-l] Merlin
I take it that the Merlin app does not work on an iPad. Am I right? I downloaded it to ID a bird I just got a glimpse of. I had a Goldfinch sized bird that I only saw from the back. It was distinctive because it's outer tail feathers were yellow like a Junco's are white. Any idea as to what it might be ? Is it a Goldfinch? For those talking about the absence of Hummingbirds, my Hummers have been here on and off all day. I only saw the males today.
