Another nest to watch...... A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields for at least the past four years. In 2012, we installed a camera to get a better look at these majestic birds as they raise their young amid the bustle of a busy campus. So far, we’ve seen the birds bringing prey such as voles, squirrels, and pigeons to the nest. Big Red and Her Mate The female, nicknamed“Big Red” in honor of her alma mater, is slightly larger, with a darker head, nape and throat, and is banded on her right leg. From banding records we know she was banded in nearby Brooktondale, New York, during her first autumn in 2003, making her nearly nine years old. The male, who does not yet have a nickname, is banded on his left leg. He’s a bit smaller and has golden-tawny feathers on his face and head, and a paler neck than the female. He is at least seven years old and was first banded in 2006 as an adult bird on Judd Falls Road near the Cornell campus.  http://www.allaboutbirds.org/page.aspx?pid=2422&ac=acthe |

 CruzersIt's pretty cold here again compared to the beginning of the week. Only 12C/54F and will get even cooler for the next few days  We are not too convinced we won't have a Spring storm before Winter is over for good

Carole that is such a sweet video of the two hatching at Alcoa. The last one was spinning around while the pip hole was enlarging as the second one came out of it's shell  I always feel so bad for Derek and Savannah when they remove that  from their nest and put it in a hacktower. They usually do it at 6/7 weeks  I haven't been to the RTH nest cam for over a year. Thanks for the reminder and all the great nest  's you are posting each day  That is such a lot of work

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE March 21, 2012 Bears Roaming  Radio-tracking Shirley - March 21, 2012 Lily and Faith are still in the vicinity of their den and stop by from time to time. Although Jewel has been out and about in recent days, today she stayed tucked in her den with her cubs. However, some bears have begun to roam.  Overturned rock - March 21, 2012 We radio-located Jo and her yearling Victoria a third of a mile from their culvert den. We didn’t see them, but where they had passed, an unearthed rock (photo) showed they were looking for food. We radio-located 2-year-old Sharon 0.6 mile from her den. Her radio signal showed her to be active in a cedar swamp, possibly passing through.  Sharon's empty den - March 21, 2012 Her sibling Shirley’s radio signals showed she is still near her den but out and active like Lily and Faith are.  Juneberry buds bursting - March 21, 2012 Signs of spring are unusually advanced, of course, after the continuing record warmth this past couple weeks. Juneberry buds are popping and blossoms are about to burst. Juneberry is also known as serviceberry, shadbush, Saskatoon, or the Latin name Amelanchier (several species). Butterflies are flying. Lakes are opening up. Ducks are arriving. Common Merganser, Common Goldeneye, and Mallard have been seen out the window on Woods Lake so far. A couple loons flew over. Spring peepers and woods frogs are both calling. Wolves were howling nearby as we wrote this. More bears to check tomorrow—not enough hours in a day as we fall behind on many things. Video footage of our visit to Jewel’s den on Sunday is posted on YouTube. Thank you for all you do. —Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |
