RE: [cayugabirds-l] Killdeer Courtship at Myers

I've seen Killdeer doing this and similar behaviors a number of times early in the breeding season. Sometimes in pairs, sometimes several birds together. My impression is that it has both territorial and courtship components. Pairs do something similar during a "nest scrape display"...the male

[cayugabirds-l] Large numbers of geese

I keep hearing both Canada and snow geese flying overhead this evening. They seem to flying kind of along the Six Mile Creek "corridor" towards Cayuga Lake. I tried recording them a couple of times, but I live too close to noisy traffic to get any files worth saving. -liisa Liisa Mobley Se

Hi all, I stopped by the compost facility on Stevenson Road just now. Gull numbers were not amazing, but two LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, one ugly 2nd or 3rd cycle with pinkish legs and one large, big-headed adult, were in the field along Stevenson, as well as a tan 1st cycle ICELAND GULL.

I am not sure which part of EIRW you were running Linda. Between Honness and Mitchell street there were at least 20 Song sparrows and many singing in the morning when I walked. There are also about 4 male Carolina wrens in the stretch too. Two of them were singing cheery songs. Cheers Meena
