[cayugabirds-l] FW: 67+/- Great Egrets roosting at Montezuma NWR

Wednesday evening, August 17, and early Thursday morning, August 18, Jane Graves and I counted Great Egrets and noted their roosting habits at May's Point Pool and Knox-Marsellus Marsh at Montezuma NWR. At sunset, or so, on Wednesday, 5 GREGs from Knox-M flew to May's Point and joined the ro

I'm a bit behind on my eBird entries. Highlight was the first conspicuous evidence of fall passerine migration, with many Bobolinks and a few Kingbirds along the Wildlife Dr. An immature Peregrine Falcon was perched near the Seneca Spillway - presumably the same bird first seen by Joe and

[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagles on Dryden Lake

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Great Egret

Today (Friday 19 August) I checked out the Ithaca egret roost in the morning and in the evening.  During a dawn lull in work I stopped by Treman Marina and saw the 2 GREAT EGRETS in their separate trees a few minutes after 6am as I had left them Thursday night.  Unfortunately I got distracted and d
