[cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture at compost piles, etc.
Hi all, This afternoon, a BLACK VULTURE showed up over the compost piles at Game Farm Road. It circled for a while, then drifted to the northeast. Thanks to Jay's post, Brian Magnier and myself were also able to find the Short-eared owls at Scofield Road near Buck Road. We counted five at once, but there could have been more. Also had a couple of late Savannah sparrows there along the roadside.

[cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow copulation with chipping
Hi all, Brian Magnier and myself went out and watched/photographed the Clay-colored sparrow on Cornell's campus this afternoon. He's still sticking around and singing/calling almost constantly. The most interesting thing we observed was copulation with a chipping sparrow at around 6:00 PM. Photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/72340495@N06/sets/72157644692290725/ Brian also got some excellent photos that hopefully he'll post at some point. Us + Andy Johnson also had a nice Blue-winged warbler in the flowering trees south of Goldwin Smith Hall.
