[cayugabirds-l] my Screechie remains

2012-11-12 Thread Robyn Bailey
My Screech-owl was very cooperative this weekend, making brief appearances in 
the nest box Sat. and Sun. evening, and this morning. If any of you 
photographer types would like to take a picture of it for me, I would 
appreciate it. I'm currently waiting for my scope's iPhone adapter to arrive, 
but would like to take advantage of the owl's cooperation while it lasts. Let 
me know off-list if you're game.

Best,
Robyn Bailey
Lansing, near Myer's point

Hi all,
I watched about a dozen of TVs heading south, but none of them had white wing 
feathers.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-morph screech-owl at Day Hall, Cornell -- Mon 11/12

2012-11-12 Thread Mark Chao
Miyoko Chu has just passed along a message from a colleague who works at Day
Hall on the Cornell campus.  There was a red-morph Eastern Screech-Owl out
in the open on a tree by that building at 12:20 PM on Monday.

Hi all,

I went looking for this bird with a few students at one o'clock and was 
unsuccessful. A few minutes later, we got a call from Benjamin Van Doren saying 
he had the bird at Day Hall. He told us the bird is only visible from inside 
the building looking into the inner courtyard.

When Hope Batcheller, Luke Seitz, Tim Lenz and I went to look, I ran into a 
nice man who told us that the bird was right outside his window on the second 
floor. He let us make a brief visit and the owl was sitting out in the open on 
a branch on the second floor on in the northeast corner.
