Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpeckers

Thanks for the info, Kevin. It was a bit frustrating to label all the photos “adult, sex unknown” when there were clearly (at least) 2 different birds, and it seemed a good bet that there was (at least) 1 of each sex. But so be it. - - Dave Nutter > On Jul 6, 2023, at 7:42 PM, Kevi

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Osprey nesting at Game Farm soccer fields?

also continue to bring sticks to add to the nest even when there are eggs or young in the nest, which to me seems a bit awkward and risky, but that’s the perspective of someone who is no good at fishing or flying, so who am I to judge? - - Dave Nutter > On Jun 30, 2023, at 8:50 AM, Sandra L

[cayugabirds-l] Scissor-tailed Flycatcher continues in Candor, Tioga County

Adam Troyer reports that the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher continues at his family’s dairy farm at the end of TOMAK (also spelled TOMACK) Road in the town of Candor in Tioga County. It’s a spectacular bird. Wear muck boots, it’s usually near the pastured cows. - - Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pelican

Even so, we needed scopes, and my photos were horrendous. The Pelican was still on the lake when we left about 4:30pm. Perhaps it will remain tomorrow if the north wind and rain start up soon enough in the morning to deter its urge to soar in the early morning calm. - - Dave Nutter > On

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow crowned night heron

ere is a way to watch a nest through a scope from a long distance, that would be way to do it. Also, if anyone wants to compare the markings & plumage in all the recent Freeville photos to see if it’s actually 2 birds, that would be cool. - - Dave Nutter > On Apr 26, 2023, at 9:11

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pelican

Cayuga Lake State Park on Lower Lake Rd, one “block” north, but I bet a bird that size is visible from the boat ramp or the shore of the park. Try whichever side of the lake is most convenient for you. - - Dave Nutter > On May 3, 2023, at 8:50 AM, Laura Stenzler wrote: > > > Hi

[cayugabirds-l] Blue Jay migration

I have watched Blue Jays fly south over the east end of Stewart Park, presumably having been gathered and guided by Cayuga Lake’s diagonal “east” shore, and over downtown Ithaca as well. To me, it’s a thrill to see the migration phenomenon played out. - - Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow crowned night heron

adult was seen in Mill Dam Park very near to this location, and in June 2021 an adult was seen along Fall Creek adjacent to Groton Avenue Park. It’s possible the species is regular there and just hasn’t been noticed much. - - Dave Nutter > On Apr 26, 2023, at 7:31 PM, Fred Rimmel wr

[cayugabirds-l] distinctive Yellow Warbler at Swan Pond (& apology)

[cayugabirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler at Salt Point/Myers Point, Lansing

At 10:15am Elliott Ress reported a Prothonotary Warbler seen and heard singing while foraging with Yellow-rumped Warblers along the “south” side of the creek (probably means east side, as the creek flows south), but seen by him from [42.5394, -76.5480] on the Salt Point side. - - Dave Nutter
