After a long day around the lake (report later, maybe tomorrow), I should've
gone home to reclaim that lost hour of sleep. Instead, I went back to Edward
Lake Cliffs Preserve where I got a much better infrared video of a full
skydance:

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your thoughtful attention to this matter. I was going to write
sooner in response to your initial note, but have been dealing with an injury
that has taken much of my attention. I will write a more extensive note soon.
But for now, let me just point out that the Club alrea
At the suggestion of some bird club members I am drafting a resolution to bring
before the Cayuga Bird Club meeting tomorrow night asking the City of Ithaca
to halt its plans to ban feeding waterfowl, to haze geese on City land and
water, and to disrupt nesting. Reasons are several and may incl
Our niger sock saw several Pine Siskins this weekend, where the goldfinches
have been regular partakers. I wouldn't have noticed had one not sat facing
me on the deck railing and its streaky breast caught my eye.
And the wife says she saw a small bird with a red crest, and some Cedar
Waxwings. No
I watched the bird today for sometime arriving at around 1 pm. It was feeding
on the ground at the back entrance to the Campus Store when I first spotted it.
It was very active flying to Day Hall and back. Thanks for everyone who has
reported and glad I was able to see this life bird with my 1
I was there on Saturday, same as David (possibly at the same time, not
sure). I stopped by at 10:40, found him at 11, and stayed until 12:30,
getting his "M.O" (at least for an hour and a half, wish I could have
stayed longer). 4 regular spots:
1) I found him warbler-high (near fell backward get
I leashed my dogs and went down to the West Danby Fire Station this afternoon
for a look in the beaver pond. Only two Wood Ducks, but at least 20 Hooded
Mergansers were in there. A Red-tailed Hawk was perched alongside one of the
big stick nests belonging to Great Blue Herons.
Then we went down
I had some good birds like Eastern Phoebe and several Killdeer on my walk along
East Ithaca RW. Here is the complete list.

Sometimes, when I have time & traffic is not too busy, I stop the car & take
fresher roadkill off pavement & put it well away from roadside & shoulder.
So carrion eaters can consume it in safety.
Good advice on careful driving, Dave, but perhaps you are preaching to the
choir!😋

While I was driving over Mt Pleasant this am around 8:00-ish, I was excited to
see an Eastern Meadowlark flying over the road. It landed on the north side of
the road just a short way up from the Mineah Rd junction.

It appears that some Japanese birds use linguistic rules once thought only to
be used by humans:

This includes a video (it takes a while to load, and there's an ad first).
