[cayugabirds-l] RFI: Mallards displaying

Hi all, I need to shoot some video of Mallards performing courtship displays. Does anyone have a regular spot where they've been seeing this occurring recently? Ithaca area preferred. Many thanks for any leads. Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA

I am writing this at a distance so can't be sure how many of the facts are straight. Our son lives on the corner of Dutcher and North Road. Across the street is a wetland that I believe is one of the areas that feeds into Fall Creek. The owner of the land has a large dairy operation and is

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bradfiled Peregrines?

I last saw a single Peregrine on the east side of Bradfield Hall on the afternoon of Monday 2 March, and it was a quick poor view as I was driving and looking back and up through trees over my shoulder. I had checked thoroughly without success twice earlier that day. Previous to that I saw 2 on

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raptor, T-burg Village

I would not expect a Northern Harrier in the Village of Trumansburg, because harriers are birds of open country, flying low and erratically over fields or marshes then dropping on prey. Harriers have extremely long wings as well as a long tail, and when seen from above in flight they show a

[cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant

I went up to Mt. Pleasant after my morning chores, assuming Ken would be there.  Hopefully he found something else useful to do.  I also expected balmy zephyrs, but that didn't happen either.  From 1030 till 1145 I saw 1 ROBIN.  But then things picked up and in the next 45 minutes I had 3

I got a close look and think I just sighted one. My first, and I see in my guidebook that they are not common around here but are becoming more common. It is heading south around 11:30am. Another person was with me, and he said he sees them in Varna all the time. This one had a gorgeous rusty

The Cayuga Inlet / Flood Control Channel in Ithaca is starting to open up. Monday evening as I left the taxi depot, which is right next to the Fish Ladder, I saw a quarter mile of water in the middle of the channel. There was one Tundra Swan along with three American Black Ducks, and a few of
