Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hawk Migration

2pm is about when I was at upper buttermilk watching a crow chase a broadwing who after shaking the crow started circling away in the downstream direction. Could very well have been the same bird you saw. From their low flight I didn't think the broadwing was migrating. Also there was a loud Louis

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Hawk Migration

On brief stops today at Mt Pleasant (11:34-11:48am) and Sandbank Rd (1:52-2:05pm) Ann Mitchell & I saw 2 migrating BROAD-WINGED HAWKS at each location. One at Sandbank was remarkably low directly overhead, and quite a treat. The others were distant, and the first at Mt Pleasant (after a mere 6

[cayugabirds-l] Dodge/Stevenson Rd: Savannah Sparrows; Brown Thrasher

On a morning walk (9:30am - 11:30am) along Dodge Rd and Stevenson Rd and along the dirt road past the compost piles, we came across three bright Savannah Sparrows in the brush near the Stevenson Rd end. A Brown Thrasher was heard from the woods East of Dodge Rd. A Carolina Wren serenading loudl

[cayugabirds-l] Need advice -nesting goose

Sitting on my beach, I just noticed a Canada Goose sitting in the top of a huge flower pot at the end of my neighbors' dock. I think it is on a nest of eggs, since walking above their place on the RR track these past weeks, I have seen a lot of noisy goose activity at the end of this long dock.

[cayugabirds-l] Lost camera at Swan Pen

This morning while birding at Stewart Park, I set my Canon SX50 camera down on the platform that extends out into the Swan Pen (very bad idea). Approx. 10:15 AM. I returned a couple of hours later to look for it, but it is not there. (Long story involving a flat tire about why I didn't realize it

[cayugabirds-l] Fledglings!

Newly fledged Mourning Doves appeared in my driveway this morning. Brown Thrashers are singing again after a few days of silence, and I glimpsed some chasing. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES h

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Hawk Migration

As soon as it was looking like it was shaping up to a really good migration day, things seemed to shut right down. Maybe the afternoon will prove better for others watching. Alternatively, perhaps those raptors passing through now are simply scraping the high cloud ceiling. Sincerely, Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Black capped YB Sapsucker

Found at Sapsucker Woods. I went on Linda Orkin's SSW /CBC bird walk this morning. We got several good looks at a YELLOW BELLIED SAPSUCKER with a BLACK cap on top of its head, rather than a reddish cap. It had all the other marks of a mature bird. No red at all. In woods south of main pond.

[cayugabirds-l] WHITE-EYED VIREO at Sapsucker Woods

Ken Rosenberg just (8am Sunday) reported that the WHITE-EYED VIREO is continuing at the Sherwood Platform, which is on the west side of the main pond, on the Wilson Trail at Sapsucker Woods. It was first found late Thursday afternoon by Garrett MacDonald in that vicinity and seen by only a coupl
