Re: [cayugabirds-l] FW: [GeneseeBirds-L] Chipping Sparrow

We had a Chipping Sparrow at our feeder on Snyder Hill on the 24th (reported for FeederWatch), and I'm sure I first saw it a few days before that. Didn't realize it was one of the first sightings of the year in the area. Ray On Mar 30, 2012, at 8:32 PM, Meena Haribal wrote: > So the real

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey, Bald Eagles, etc.

Inspired by Robyn Bailey's report of Ospreys at the new nest platform at Portland Point, I took a walk to the lakeshore at Treman Park this afternoon. Even with my 7x binoculars I could discern the new wood of the nest platform, but I think the birds at that distance (about 5 miles) would have requ

So the real question is, why did people first decide to report to several listservs on one day, but quietly report to eBird for a couple weeks? Dave, My guess is that when lot of people from different list serve report on one particular day, that day a big wave of birds arrived, so many peopl

Re: [cayugabirds-l] FW: [GeneseeBirds-L] Chipping Sparrow

I thought Lisa Wood's Chipping Sparrow might have been a first arrival, but I try to remember to check eBird records before I revise the list of first arrivals to the Cayuga Lake Basin which is on the Cayuga Bird Club website here:http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/Resources/cayuga-lake-basin-first-reco

So looks like Chipping sparrows have reached our latitude on same day! In last several years, I have found that first arrival of same species are reported on same day to Cayugabirds, Geneseebirds and Oniedabirds often. It is really interesting to see that they move approximately same distance

Friends, Just re-read my post with red face. I hope you realized I meant Gulf Coast! I don't even play the game! Must have been this strange orb in the sky. Although for a specific area this was a huge breakthrough for avian flight safety and now has the FCC on record as a helper not hinderer. A

Hi all, Things seems to be picking up a bit at Stewart Park again. Nothing too spectacular around lunch time today, but a few birds that others have been seeing in the last few days, including an adult BONAPARTE'S GULL, two female RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS out towards the red lighthouse, at least 6 H

[cayugabirds-l] Portland Point Ospreys using nest

I just got word from NYSEG that the Portland Point/Cargill Osprey platform has seen some activity today. I was told the Ospreys are "using the nest", but I don't yet have details on what exactly that means. So keep an eye out for the (returning?) Osprey pair, and please let me know if you obser
