Cayugabirds-L List Info:
A group of 10 Cornell students (part of a couple classes I teach in spring
and fall) and I had a flock of 17 Brant continuously circling at Stewart
Park this morning. There were also a few Ruddy Ducks, the female Surf
Scoter, a Lesser Scaup, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, Coots and more were seen as
well.
Agreed, Pokeweed berries are great bird food, as well as being beautiful
colorful plants. I have also had Swainson’s Thrush, Gray Catbird, Scarlet
Tanager, Red-eyed Vireo, and Northern Cardinal eating them.
