[cayugabirds-l] Shorebird walk tomorrow (Sat 17) morning, Montezuma NWR
Meet at 7am at the Montezuma NWR Visitor Center (on NYS-5/US-20 east of Seneca Fall between NYS-89 & NYS-90) or meet us on East Road at the overlook around 7:20am after we caravan over there. As a group led by Bob McGuire and myself, we will walk down onto the dike surrounding Knox-Marsellus Marsh, an activity which is normally prohibited, in order to look for migrant shorebirds. Bring binoculars, and if you have a scope, bring that too. It should be a good opportunity to share sightings and learn. No fee. Last weekend with Dave Nicosia we had good looks at 11 shorebird species, and since then at least 3 more species have been reported at Montezuma and a couple more elsewhere Upstate. There are plenty of other interesting birds at K-M, too. For instance, we saw all 6 heron species regularly found here. And about an hour ago David Wheeler reported an American White Pelican and a juvenile Laughing Gull. Let’s hope they stay. - - Dave Nutter -- 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/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Kestrels, Mt. Pleasant
American Kestrel migration is in progress. There is anecdotal information that they coincide with dragonfly migration, especially the Common Green Darner and Black Saddlebags ( Anax junius and Tramea lacerate; other species migrate as well). With kestrels, not all migrate but they do disperse. The females will begin settling into winter hunting territories which are quite a bit larger and less popular than those the males end up with. By this time young should have moved on. --- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Rd Burdett, NY 14818 42.443508000, -76.758202000 "Create and Conserve Habitat" On 2019-08-16 14:25, Eveline V.

[cayugabirds-l] Kestrels, Mt. Pleasant
A group of 4 or so kestrels busy hunting seen this morning along Mt. Pleasant Rd (close to the Midline end of Mt. Pleasant). Maybe a pair with fledglings? Their hover flight lovely to watch in any case.
