[cayugabirds-l] loads of cormorants

[John Greenly]

Today early afternoon about three miles north of Myers I came upon the largest 
flock of Cormorants I can remember on the lake, about 120 birds sitting on the 
water, all took off and flew north as I rowed by.

[cayugabirds-l] Radar discussion re Alicia's question snd Dave's response

[khmo]

Saw the post earlier and then we went out to encounter numerous
Monarchs, Painted Ladies and other butterflies. We wonder if some of
those returns might have been of butterfly movement. The general area up
here is covered with the above species. The Painteds came along in large
numbers today whereas goodly numbers of Monarchs have been passing
through for over a week.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] bay-breasted vs blackpoll

[Jay McGowan]

Jared,
These are indeed both typical Bay-breasted, in case you had any doubts.
Undertail color seems to be pretty variable, as is the intensity of yellow
on the underparts, as in most fall warblers and vireos.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] could someone explain the radar tonight?

[David Nicosia]

Birds are still moving despite south winds.
