[cayugabirds-l] Fish Crows - East Hill

2011-05-02 Thread W. Larry Hymes
While working in the garden yesterday afternoon, I was very surprised when a small flock of FISH CROW (8-10 birds) came flying low overhead, calling away. They were flying from the general direction of six mile reservoir in a roughly NNE direction. I've seen fish crow at Triphammer and Stewa

Hi Folks, At a minimum: the loon arrived two weeks ago and we tried to capture it but instead we drove it down stream; it came back to the pol just below the road culvert and was photographed by Melissa Groo; it went away but on Sat morning (30 April), I saw it in the culvert outflow clos

This morning as I was leaving Dodge Road after successfully seeing and hearing Jay's WHITE-EYED VIREO, I turned onto Stevenson Road and headed toward Turkey Hill. Just as I was passing the compost piles a large bird came flying past at a high rate of speed, at just a bit above tree-top level.
