Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Basin Highlights of 2012

Compared to Chris I am barely a birder, and considering the amount of time spent birding in 2012, I am even less of one. However, on May 8, at our feeders we had a Blue Grosbeak. Carmen Hockett spotted it first and she knew it was different. I was so consumed with eyeballing it that the camera, at

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Basin Highlights of 2012

The best bird of 2012 for me was not the most beautiful (Painted Bunting, Florida) or most longed-for bird (Burrowing Owl, also Florida). It was the one that made itself available for close and repeated observations: the Eastern Screech-owl. During the summer, we hosted a family of 2 parents and

[cayugabirds-l] Cooper's H.

About 11:40 this a.m., an adult Cooper's Hawk flew into our back yard and perched on the lower rail of our fence. Three crows (our resident family, less one) were in attendance without the showy dramatics they go thru with Red-Tails. The crows sort of stalked around and got closer and closer to M

[cayugabirds-l] N. Shrike & Rough-legged H - Goetchius (sans basin) Preserve

While I was driving by on Flatiron Rd., I saw a dark phase Rough-legged Hawk 5 times in ~12 recent trips past Goetchius and a N. Shrike twice. Good odds for the hawk, but not so good for the shrike. There is a population high for voles in the grasslands at Goetchius, probably good food for bo

[cayugabirds-l] Cardinal singing

As I stepped out of the house this afternoon, I heard a cardinal belt out a few notes. The bird apparently thought better about its timing and promptly ceased singing. Anytime I hear birds singing during the winter, I keep praying that this might be a reliable harbinger of better weather to

[cayugabirds-l] Screech-Owls

It may be a good evening to listen for screech-owls. Jeff Gerbracht mentioned his was calling. We have one vocalizing spontaneously here at Monkey Run too. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Wood eBird & Neotropical Birds Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, New York http://ebird.org http://

[cayugabirds-l] Hoary Redpoll

Hi All, Sorry for the late post. The Hoary Redpoll I saw was on Lake Como Road (in Summer Hill) at Nick's place. Sorry I don't know the exact address. I actually stayed on Lake Como Road even though his home is on the lake. There was a cleared off area, so... I grabbed my scope and watched from abo
