In Newfield. Three under the spruce where snow didn't penetrate. Earliest
ever for here.

About 100 grackles and a few red-wings have landed in Newfield. Last year
they hit on the 23rd, so they're right on time. There goes all the bird
food.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ? Barn owl

2018-02-23 Thread Maryfaith Miller
It's not unheard of. We have an established barn owl breeding on Owasco
Lake. We have heard it and seen it's shape, heard begging babies and two
owls calling at the same time during summer nights for at least 8 years. If
there is successful nesting going on so close, it seems reasonable that the
birds are also in the Cayuga basin.
Just my two cents.

[cayugabirds-l] ? Barn owl

2018-02-23 Thread Fredric Kardon
I go out to fill our bird feeders after dark every day.  Sometimes I
hear the call of a great horned owl, barred owl, or screech owl.
Wednesday night I think I heard a barn owl scream--a very even trill
lasting 2-4 seconds, repeated every minute or so about 6 times. I
never heard this call before.   Reports of barn owls in this area are
very rare on Ebird, and I wonder if I should be thinking of something
else.

[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon still at Stewart Park

2018-02-23 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
The Eurasian Wigeon was still at Stewart Park at 10 am this morning, in a 
group of American Wigeon foraging close to shore near the east end of the 
park. When I pulled into the loop parking area, I could see it from the car 
with binoculars. Other ducks along the shore included American Wigeon, a 
few Green-winged Teal, and a Northern Pintail.
