RE:[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant redpolls still there (correction...)
Well a walk this afternoon up to the redpoll hotspot forces me to revise my flock size count...there were about 150 Common Redpolls up there around 2:15. (Last I saw, they were making plans to be in Area III next Tuesday despite what Bob McGuire says!!!)

Re: [cayugabirds-l] cayugabirds-l digest: December 29, 2018
Randy: Yes 1963 was the earliest (or at least the earliest that was recorded). All the data from all years can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19EWVe-v5fKI3s93ciNoNwy2Wpp-GpNg6/view. There were 61 species observed in 1963. Of those, two have not shown up on the count since: Dickcissel and Green-tailed Towhee! -Paul On 12/29/2018 10:16 AM, Randolph Scott Little wrote: When was the first Ithaca Christmas Bird Count?

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Saw-whet Owl banding
Hammond Hill Owls (HHOWLS) had another successful year of banding. We banded on 16 nights, almost every night with tolerable to good wind conditions and temperatures above freezing from 1 October until 6 November. This provided 502 net hours and 0.2 birds per net hour. We had 116 assistant-nights with 42 people who made more than one trip. Plus, we had about 30 brief visitors with the Cayuga Bird Club trip. I would do the banding for either the data on migratory saw-whets and what we might learn from it. Or, the great pleasure in the personal interactions among all of us. The best part is the new and renewed friendships that come from working to our best to process the birds safely and record the data accurately. Put the two aspects together, and you have an awesome experience. thanks to all who helped, toot toot toot John Confer -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
