The eagles that live in Windsor have been visiting their nest tree, I see them nearly every morning. Not nesting yet, just perching on their favorite branch. Question: How does one tell a female eagle from a male? Is the female a little bigger?

New bald eagle hang-out? I have seen a mature bald eagle on the Vermont side of CT River several times in the last couple of weeks (perching in a lone, dead white pine). This morning (around 8:15) there were 3 in the tree, one mature and two immature. Location: on 12A, about 1 mile north of Plainfield's River Road and just south of Old County Road, at the bend in the river.

Subject: Why so many?
Anybody know why there are so many robins around? We have 20- 30 every day. I seem to remember having to search for one around town meeting day in March. The numbers this year are astonishing. What's up?

"The times they are a changing." I think climate change with accompanying lack of snow (compared to 50 years ago) has made winter survival in the NE easier for robins and they have responded with a winter range shift to the north. If the snow was continuously deep and ground unavailable to scratch very likely most of the robins would south of the perpetual snow line.

Hi, Everyone:
I have several Cedar Waxwings that came in with injuries that are now healed up and ready to be released. I am wondering if anyone is seeing flocks of Cedar Waxwings in their yards. If you do see them, can you please give me a call at 795-4850, as the birds' best chance for survival is to be released into a flock.

Subject: Posting images - RE: [UVB] Fwd: Bald Eagle
Suellen (and the UVB List readership...):
Sadly, posting of attachments (such as image/picture files) is disabled on the ListServ. This is to prevent the spread of spam and attached "malware" (computer viruses and their ilk). This is a fairly common strategy on public ListServs. To prevent the ListServ itself at Dartmouth.edu and its thousands of subscribers from being "hacked" by "malware."
If you have a web page where you can post pictures, you can include the link in your post.

Subject: winter wren
Had a winter wren scrounging in the dirt under a trunk of a tree. It was along the cut out portion of an eschar that runs parallel to the Brook Rd. in Brownsville.
We were riding horses, so the bird was at eye level about 6 feet away. Slow moving horses don't scare most birds. Closest I have ever seen one.
