Fitzpatrick Rd. between Union Springs & Auburn yesterday.
Also saw both adult Bald Eagles sitting in trees at Mud Lock ... and both

The sound end of the lake was cold this morning but with a few interesting
birds. Three male NORTHERN SHOVELERS were swimming in one of the lagoon
across Fall Creek from the boat house. Three COMMON TERNS were flying up
the west side of the lake, viewed from East Shore Park. Quite a few PALM

morning. Binocular-less, I counted at least 9 Bonaparte's among Ring-billed
Gulls, all walking around one of the soccer fields adjacent to the Cayuga
Inlet. Later, they dispersed from that location and ended up near where the

Last Sunday Harold Mills and I went into the Fuertes Sanctuary in Stewart Park
in search of owls. We found ourselves in even deeper water than we had
anticipated--it quickly overcame our tall boots but we soggily waded on.
Finally found two GREAT HORNED OWL fledglings sitting snuggled together

I arrived home from town this evening close to 7PM to a rather nice
surprise - 4 male and 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks on my porch feeders
all at once. The feeders are about 2 ft apart, so I was able to see them
all through a single window. I have never seen so many of this species in
such clo
Jeff Gerbracht found a COMMON MOORHEN in the cattails in jetty woods along
Fall Creek across from boathouse area at Stewart Park late this afternoon.
I was able to refind the bird late this evening after a lot of searching,
probably visible from Stewart Park halfway between the boathouse and Renwi
Wasn't planning on a trip today but when radar showed that it was
raining from Binghamton and points east, decided to head west.
Getting tired of birding in the rain!!
First stop was Myer's and I had 2 ORCHARD ORIOLES,
1 singing near the entrance and the other across
the Salmon Creek. Even though
*This morning at 6:30 am., I saw our first backyard male Baltimore Oriole
five years. It was competing for suet with a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, of
which I’ve had a small flock for several days. I’ve put out lots of string,
twine, and grape vine strips for the birds to nest with and hope the ori
45 min chilly walk this AM from 720-805 around N Wilson trail and a swing by
Fuller Wetlands got me 3 real FOYs and a technical. I full-capitalized only
these for you scanners.
Before I even opened the Lab door, I scanned the terrain, as many birds get

I walked down Dodge Rd at 5:30pm in a slight drizzle under cold overcast
skies.
A female Kestrel was keeping vigil in the lone tree standing in the
middle of the uppermost (South) field. Her colors looked beautiful in
this light.
Four E.Kingbirds flew in from the east across the lower fields and
A very chilly scouting trip to Hammond Hill this morning turned up singing
Winter Wren, Blue-headed Vireo, and Ovenbird, plus calling Common Raven and
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
Back home, a flock of 18+ PIne Siskins has taken over the nyjer feeder and many
are singing wheezily away!

While taking photos for the basin birding site guide in Mundy Wildflower Garden
around 2:00 today, I heard the buzzy song of a Blue-winged Warbler and later
the bright song and chatter calls of a Baltimore Oriole.
The wildflowers are looking lovely!
