Prothonotary Warbler???
greetings Aafke

I can't even pronounce that... much less ID it! Great little bird, tho... (What's a "prothonotary" anyway??)

From All About Birds http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Prothonotary_Warbler/lifehistory

Cool Facts

    * The Prothonotary Warbler is one of only two warbler species that nest in cavities. (Lucy's Warbler is the other.)
    * Go here to take a look at what goes on inside a Prothonotary Warbler nest, through the help of a Nest Box Cam provided by The Birdhouse Network at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
    * The name "Prothonotary" refers to clerks in the Roman Catholic church, whose robes were bright yellow.

Hmmmm! I wonder what Mariah has been up to since she was seen at the Medley center in Irondequoit.   

We think alike MAK.   

I've been thinking that all along... 

She is such a girl!  Ok, let me check this one more time...  Do I really like it here or would I be happier there?  Honey, can we move if I'm not happy?  Do you love me 

Why did my brain start signing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" when I read this?   

Before we go any further...

Do you love me?  Will you love me forever?

B & A???????????????????????? Archer is back?

Just wondering the same thing...guess we'll have to wait for more details...

Oops!     Guess I better get some coffee. Seriously Ei, cats and birds don't mix! 

OK...maybe I should have  used ...just haven't had a chance to use eyecat in a while.  My guys just think of birds as Kitty TV

Furry?

Ei you better get some coffee in you girl!

Not me!  The author maybe...

Students at Ogden Community School had a hoot Tuesday as two furry friends stopped by for a visit.

A lot of Greenfinches
greetings Aafke

So those are Greenfinches!  I was watching the Loch of the Lowes cam the other day and a bunch of these were on the feeder.  I kept thinking they were Goldfinches, but they were too big.  Then I remembered I was watching a cam in Scotland...silly me!

Furry?

Chicki sent me a similar article this morning...

Is there any cam link?

The cam is at http://www.zooatlanta.org/1212/panda_cam but it's only on 10AM-5PM eastern time.  Hopefully they'll extend the hours if a cub is born!

Thanks for posting this, Kris.  I haven't been able to keep up like I usually do.

The new cam does not zoom or move, but it does see at night and it gives us an important missing camera angle.

A pan/tilt/zoom camera in this location would be a good future upgrade, especially if it could tilt upward far enough to see the top of the building. Maybe next Fall. We'll make that decision after we see how this arrangement works

Thanks.  It definitely covers areas that were hair-raising when no one was around to move cam 1-when the little stinkers were napping away on the ledge while we all got gray hair!

What a nice day you all had!  Thanks for sharing!

Hi folks! We had a little excitement tonight in Rochester. There was a tiercel flying with Beauty. We weren't sure if it was Archer come back from wherever he's been. Dana and I agree that it was a juvie male migrating through. The falcon on the east side of Xerox looked like Beauty to me and Dana thought so too( judging by her pics). Therefore I have to believe Beauty was in her favorite spot 5th column south side of Xerox when I left for the night. If Archer was in town he would have been with her on Xerox.  This is my humble opinion. Good night and I'll see you bright and early in the morning!

Thanks for the report, MAK!   Hmmm...it would be nice to think that it was a juvie tiercel Beauty knows very well.   




  except, of course, there were no juvie tiercels at this nest this year
