[cayugabirds-l] Screech owl

This morning, while eating breakfast, I discovered a Screech Owl roosting in a cavity not far from the house. It had some peace for an hour or so, but the chickadees have found it out now. We also have a new yard bird- Pine Siskin. Not a bad way to start my birthday! Robyn Bailey Lansing

[cayugabirds-l] A plea for hurricane communication

Hi all, As you have all been hearing, Hurricane Sandy seems as though it has the potential to bring some interesting birds to the Cayuga Lake area. While it is indeed unfortunate for them, those of us who like to see different birds than normally occur in the area will be out trying to see and

Re: [cayugabirds-l] A plea for hurricane communication

[cayugabirds-l] Skaneateles

There are lots of waterfowl in the village of Skaneateles. They are nestled in on West Lake St. I could only make out quite a few Coots and Buffleheads among the Canada Geese. It was a drive by in the fog, but there are probably more to Id. Diana Whiting Diana Whiting
