I led the beginner bird walk this morning at Sapsucker Woods. At one point I heard a call from the pond area that sounded exactly like a typical Red-shouldered Hawk call. Unfortunately I didn't get visual confirmation, nor did I have Merlin activated to record. One of the party did see a hawk flying away, but he couldn't confirm the ID either.
With such flimsy evidence, I would normally be reluctant to mention this, but I'm alerting others in the hope they might see or hear the bird and confirm. I also had a very distant eagle flyover, which is very unusual for SSW, but that wouldn't have been the same bird. -Paul -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
