[cayugabirds-l] Cattle Egret Armitage Rd. ~9:45
A single Cattle Egret spent a short time with some Trumpeter Swans on the NE corner of the flooded corn, North side of Armitage Rd. Flew directly South on course for Goose Haven. The cattle herd was in the Goose Haven field this morning so maybe it stopped. -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Glossy Ibis leaving?
Around 1:45 today we watched the Glossy Ibis fly higher and higher off to the Southwest over the main pool until out of sight. Did it return or did the signal to go south kick in?

[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker yard bird
I had a very cool yard bird sighting today! I was coming back from my trail cam spot when I saw an unusual bird fly past. I wasn’t carrying binoculars, but I could tell that it was a Red-headed Woodpecker without needing them. Solid red head, huge white patch as it flew away. I saw it perched too. We have a lot of dead trees on our forested land, so it makes sense. I grew up in the south where this bird is very common, but I have never seen one in Lansing NY. Sadly, didn’t get a photo and couldn’t relocate it after a search. Last night we were treated to a Great-Horned Owl hooting away, too. Another fun surprise. The birds are really active right now.
