Wednesday at Sodus Bay saw the usual (excellent) concentration of ducks.
Highlights were 4 Surf Scoter (1 adult male) plus at least 3 female Common
Goldeneye with entirely orange bills, essentially the same as the Irondequoit
Bay bird. Very poor gull numbers. Roost flight at the Geneva waterf
Late this morning, while I was out, my daughter saw an unknown light-gray bird
perched in our backyard. She is familiar with mockingbirds and that's what I
suspected it was. I grilled her for a detailed description and every point
resonated with N. SHRIKE. I then showed her pictures of both s

apologize if I'm so far off topic as to be breaking rules. I just
wanted to share something my husband, Jack, and I watched from our 2nd

A red fox with a full and healthy-looking coat came from the
This was a neat observation as I usually think of my son's birthday on March
3rd as when I should start to see Red-winged Blackbirds. All this makes me
wonder about migratory fits and starts. If it snows too much for those birds
to forage effectively, can they / will they move back south just
So we do have global climate change and the photoperiod is getting
longer.. Still, I wonder if the 50+ male red-wings, all of them quiet,
at Montezuma last night are going to pass on any genes for arriving this
early. Surely we'll get at least one big snow storm that would be
potentially lethal
I too enjoyed a long window session with a Cooper's Hawk this morning. My young
bird (a male, I guessed) was definitely hungry, though, and made numerous
attempts at feeder birds, who only retreated to the underbranches of the spruce
tree behind the feeder. It almost seemed that they could tell
She just left, making a dramatic swing through our back yard and thereby
completely undoing the squirrels and birds therein. I'm way behind on my
work but it was MORE than worth it to watch her enjoy some down time. Such
a gorgeous creature.

I've been watching an adult Cooper's Hawk in my neighbor's tall Spruce tree for
close to an hour and a half. S/he is at about roof top level and must have
eaten lately as s/he shows little interest in the visitors to our backyard
feeder, though that traffic is lighter than usual!
Quite a sight,
Hi Michelle,
I think all of Townsendville Road is IN.

Yesterday and last Saturday I found two ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS on Townsendville
Road, south of Covert Road and north of Vesa in Interlaken. They were a joy
to watch and remained in the same area for long minutes of good viewing.
Can anyone tell me if this is OOB?
Also yesterday I saw both a male and f
The field trip will, of course, be this Saturday, January 24-- not in June!
I sent out a corrected post, but for some reason it has not yet gone

The weather forecast continues to look better for a birding field trip on
Saturday than on Sunday. So we've changed the date of this trip to *Saturday,
June 24*.
This will be a half-day trip, 8 am to noon. Meet at the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology parking lot.
We will be making stops along the lak
Hi all,
A lone WINTER WREN was scurrying about at the north end of Sapsucker Woods
Road, opposite the house with all the bird feeders. There was also a group
of three PILEATED WOODPECKERS in this spot (yesterday at the same time,
there were four).
