[cayugabirds-l] Downy Woodpecker Leg Band

2016-03-28 Thread Suan Hsi Yong
So yesterday at Sapsucker Woods (near Owens Platform) I photographed a male
Downy Woodpecker with a metal leg band, with enough resolution to read two
sides of the band:

The front say "OPEN", the rear -- I initially guessed maybe ABRL (American
Bird Research Lab?), but concluded it was "ABRE", Spanish for "OPEN".

Are these standard bands? Does anyone happen to know if they might be
banded at the lab, or elsewhere? Should I have mentally willed the bird to
jiggle its leg so the "interesting" parts of the band face outwards? :-D

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sunday hawks

2016-03-28 Thread Peter
Spent the afternoon at/on Broadway Rd. north of Wolcott, NY and there 
were hundreds of turkey vultures migrating (a friend who had been 
counting for much of the day had over a thousand vultures!!!), a handful 
of red shouldered hawks, lots of red-tail, a bunch of sharpies and 
coopers, a few harriers, a couple of osprey and even a couple of 
immature bald eagles.
This wed. is suppose to be sunny and a southerly flow so am thinking of 
returning.

distant unidentified buteos gliding north toward Jersey Hill.

[cayugabirds-l] Thayer's Gull at compost piles this morning

2016-03-28 Thread Jeff Gerbracht
Gull numbers have sure dropped over the last week, but a Thayer's Gull was
a nice reward for venturing in on a rainy day.   Looks like the same bird
that Ian found earlier.
