[cayugabirds-l] Long-eared Owl -- gone
In the waning daylight on Monday, I saw the LONG-EARED OWL remain on its perch as it had all day, its camouflage darkening with its surroundings until it was a subtle silhouette and, ultimately, an invisible part of a solid block of shadow. Then at 5:13 PM, I saw it jump off, evidently just to the next branch or tree. I cautiously repositioned myself and glimpsed the owl as it flew off altogether, south toward Simsbury Drive and then around the front of our neighbors' house and off to the west. In a thorough search this morning, I found no sign of the owl this morning at the same perch or anywhere else in this vicinity. The presence of an active but unperturbed flock of songbirds in the same cluster of trees further corroborates the apparent absence of the owl. Many thanks to all who came out yesterday and shared the excitement.

Six species found (no Killdeer) on Monday afternoon: ~20 Dunlin 1 Pectoral Sandpiper at Visitor's Center 1 Brant continues at LaRue's on the Wildlife Dr no shorebirds seen at Benning Marsh 4 Long-billed Dowitcher, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Greater Yellowlegs at Mays Point 4 Black-bellied Plover, 2 Greater Yellowlegs, 3 Dunlin at Puddler's 14 Sandhill Cranes at Puddler's K-M Puddler's had a huge amount of pre-roost activity/fly-in occurring when I arrived after sunset. It was too dark to scan at any distance so I went to the end of Towpath Rd where the shorebirds were in close. Needs to be thoroughly birded starting earlier and going through to dusk.

[cayugabirds-l] Red Phalarope
Hi All, I thought I'd enjoy the beautiful calm day and head for Fairhaven. I saw a pair of Red Phalaropes in the surf at the park. There were a lot of Canadian Geese at the water's edge. Also saw a single Ruddy Duck, Bufflehead and numerous Mute Swans, Coots, and Mallards in the pond. I've got some quick shots of the Phalaropes before they took off, but not up yet on my site. The small flock of snow buntings were also still around.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Long-eared Owl video
This is wonderful. Since I was in California yesterday, this will be my only view of this special bird. Great video. Thanks to both Mark and Benjamin.
