[cayugabirds-l] Nat. history quiz

This evening, at 2120, we saw three adult mammals face off over some fresh compost at our open compost pile. They formed a triangle 4' from each other-a raccoon, a striped skunk, and a gray fox. Question: who was the victor and got the spoils (pun intended)? Answer tomorrow. We've also had

RE: [cayugabirds-l] anyone seen Yellow-thr. Warbler lately

I was there in that area and listened several minutes but did not hear it. And I was wondering what happens, if they don't breed? Do they go back to their wintering ground or stay put till it is fall? Other than that I heard, Blue-grey Gnat Catchers, Warbling Vireos, and Robins. No yellow Warbl

[cayugabirds-l] Common Loon in Non-Breeding Plumage Whitney Point Dam, NY

All,  I also re-found the COMMON LOON today at Whitney Point Dam and I had a good enough view to confirm it was in  non-breeding plumage. I could not find any other loons as my friend indicated that he saw 2.   The bird was seen well from Keibal Road.  I took some backlight digiscoped images. Th

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Management Plan Urgent-rush.

I apologize for my empty-headed failure to let this list-serve, with its many connections to activities at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, know about the following a couple days ago. I only learned about it at the end of last week. The NYSOA Conservation Committee very recently became aware

[cayugabirds-l] NO Red-headed Woodpecker

Thanks, Ray, for the quick post. I watched the feeders (from the road) between 9:00 and 9:30, with NO Red-headed Woodpecker. During that time both Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers came to the suet feeder. To others: note that Settlement Road is off Peregrine Way off Snyder Hill Rd (it is N

Of course, it flew away while I was posting. Will post again if any of my family sees it come back anytime today. My wife and son saw it initially at our feeder (mixed seeds) outside our window. She called me to report a "different" woodpecker with an entirely red head. I arrived home around 10

[cayugabirds-l] Fw: [bluewing-group] Common Loon

One Common Loon was re-found yesterday by Bob Grosek.  After checking NY state breeding bird atlas 1980-85 and 2000-05 there were no reports of summering birds in Broome Co. However, a few other local birders have stated that occasionally a loon or two remains at Whitney Point Lake but apparently n
