Yesterday afternoon, a male COOPER'S HAWK swooped past our feeders, then chased a couple small birds around in a large honeysuckle bush adjacent. The hawk then moved a bit to a small black walnut. Watching it, I was surprised to see a TUFTED TITMOUSE literally dancing around on a walnut branch, ba

[cayugabirds-l] Downy Woodpecker

This morning I watched from my kitchen window as a female Downy Woodpecker explored every edge and crack in the frame of the french doors, looking for any speck of insect. It was neat to watch her crane her head all around to peer with her bright eyes. Linda Orkin Ithaca, NY -- Don't ask what y

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake, Thursday pm

Yesterday afternoon (15 Nov 2012) the lake was dead calm, and the temperature in the upper forties F made for little heat shimmer and good long-distance viewing. Ann Mitchell & I could see just how few birds there were! With a late start we skipped Stewart Park. From East Shore Park we saw a couple
