[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawk

While driving along route 34 in Cayuga County, I spotted a COMMON NIGHTHAWK about a mile north of Scipio Center. The time was approximately 5:30 pm. I think that area drains westward to Great Gully, or maybe southward to Big Salmon Creek... -Geo Geo Kloppel Bowmaker & Restorer 227 Tupper R

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Goetchius Wetland shorebirds

Hi Folks, Nice omen! One reason the spotted sandpipers might be less visible is because at least one is sitting on 4 eggs, as Stef Karkuff and I observed this morning. This the first bird known to nest in the recent wetland restoration. John Confer On 5/17/2011 4:32 PM, David McC

When the rain stopped this morning I pulled on my rubber boots and drove to the Jetty Woods. (I parked across from the firefighter training sight because the parking area between the new Cayuga Trail and Fall Creek was partially blocked off with a sign saying road closed. When I returned there

Not much change here. Still the same mob of singing Tennessee Warblers (not actually as boring as it sounds!), the apple tree full of Indigo Buntings. the migrant Magnolias and Black-throated Blues and all the rest. I had about four CANADA WARBLERS on presumed territories along the brook, s

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Wed 5/18

Came late to Sapsucker so didn't get that Olive-sided. I can add BAY-BREASTED and, literally 2 minutes ago from this post, I had PHILADELPHIA VIREO, YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER and HOODED WARBLER right out in front of the lab between the conifers and boardwalk. On May 18, 2011, at 8:33 AM, Mark

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Wed 5/18
