[cayugabirds-l] Lab front areas need names!

A modest proposal --- Maybe I've missed something, but I don't believe that the various small areas in front of the Lab have ever had any names. When something is sighted around the entrance ponds and little woodlots, like the recent Bittern, it seems that we struggle to describe exactly what

[cayugabirds-l] Shindagin--Spotted Sandpiper plus prey

Of course it's just out of the Cayuga Lake Basin, but wanted to share that I found a SPOTTED SANDPIPER down in the Shindagin Hollow swamp this morning at about 10:30, bobbing away. Through a combination of stealth tactics and a blithe disregard for mud, I was able to earn the sandpiper's trust

Thanks for pointing this out Tom. This evening on the way home from the CLO seminar I found a Barred Owl right where you describe, about 30 feet up on a branch about a foot out from the main trunk of the tree almost over the trail. -Paul > >Also this morning there was a Barred Owl in view

[cayugabirds-l] Chestnut-sided Warbler?

I thought I heard a Chestnut-sided Warbler yesterday near the Rockwell Azalea Garden on Tower Rd. I only heard it once, but it was distinctive. Considering this is about 10 days earlier than the 4/26 date reported from 2008-11 on the Cayuga Bird Club arrival records page, I think it likely I mishea

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mundy Lunch walk House and Carolina Wrens, Rough-winged Swallows etc.

Isn't it a shame that people need to listen to their iPods for music when the birds give us beautiful music for free. I can understand it once the birds quiet down late summer, but not now. Sent from my iPad On Apr 16, 2012, at 1:51 PM, Meena Haribal wrote: > It was awesome outside, but very

Not only is it free, but you find out who's around without even having to look! Whenever I see folks walking or running this time of year with their earbuds in, I feel sad for them. The best things on Earth are indeed free. On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 5:23 PM, Carol Keeler wrote: > Isn't it a shame t

About 6:25am today I heard a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH from the Giles Street bridge over Six-mile Creek (office bird!). It was downstream in the gorge. Twenty minutes later I re-crossed the bridge but did not hear the bird, nor again later in the day. Wonder why... Did it move on?  Was it just luck tha
