Two new yard birds for me this morning in Commonland: a winter wren singing
rather loudly (thus presumed close) outside my window which faces the woods,
and a purple finch heard singing while a female sat feeding on sycamore seeds.
A red-breasted nuthatch had been a feeder regular for a couple
I heard a Purple Finch while waiting for the bus today! Which presumably is the
same finch the one Suan heard.

Hi All,
I am reaching out to the odd duck (although this one isn't overly odd)
experts to identify this mystery mallard that I discovered at this
morning Stewart Park along the creek
Good guess, these often are confusing, but this bird looks more to me like
birds we call intersex, apparently often older female birds that have
increased testosterone production and end up developing male-like
characteristics. Others might be able to shed more light on this
phenomenon. This
A term we don't see around here these days, at least very often is Cayuga
duck. We
found that in common usage recently Ocean Cty, NJ. Looked like Black x Mallrd
to me
but there was/is such a domestic cross that originated somewhere on/near Cayuga
Lake. Anyone have any solid info on that?

I know of several small farm flocks in the Ithaca area.

One other nice resource for mystery mallards is this quick one-page summary
of commonly encountered domestic duck varieties, with lots of pictures:

With ancient roots in Mesopotamia and Central Asia, falconry also finds
impassioned practitioners in North America. Please join us for a talk with Tim
Gallagher to learn more about the sport of falconry.

Mars is a little orange disk in my scope, rising over Thatcher's Pinnacles to
the accompaniment of a Woodcock that's displaying in my backyard. I bet there's
quite a Woodcock show going on right now down below us at the Lindsay-Parsons
Preserve!
