[cayugabirds-l] Cranes and Short-ears

[Geo Kloppel]

I visited a few spots in the Northern Montezuma area this afternoon, like 
Carncross Road and Van Dyne Spoor, hoping to see some Sandhill Cranes. On the 
shoulder of rte 89 a bit south of Savannah I came upon a dead owl. The head was 
rather damaged, but the densely feathered toes and the profusion of pale buffy 
markings on the wings and tail indicated Short-eared Owl to me. 

There are lots of waterfowl in the marshes all around the area, but It wasn’t 
until I was driving east across the mucklands on rte 31 that I found the 
Cranes: a tight group of five flew right over me.

Towards evening I headed south on 89, and somewhere between Canoga and Red 
Jacket a Short-eared Owl flew low over the road shoulder just in front of my 
car.

-Geo

[cayugabirds-l] killdeer

[Deb Grantham]

FOY pair of killdeer in my pasture on Sheffield Road today.

Crow was very busy today carrying twigs and working to break twigs off of 
bushes. I only saw one at a time. Again, Sheffield Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Tree swallows

[Peter Saracino]

I sent a brief email earlier today but have yet to see it posted. I was
surprised to see 3 tree swallows this afternoon at the north end of Cayuga
Lake along lower Lake Rd. where it reunites with Rt. 89. They were
relatively close to the shore and winging southward.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese, ducks

[Lois E. Chaplin]

I took a quick trip up the east side of the lake and then down to the State 
Park. The usual sites were quiet. When I had a view of the lake I could see 
white rafts in the middle. The water at the visitor center is opening up and 
there were a lot of Canada Geese and a variety of ducks.

Down to the park - there is still ice at the marina/dock. The ice shelf at the 
shore line further south has melted. I had a pleasant viewing experience of 
several Gadwalls close to the shore with a variety of other ducks bobbing 
around. The two rafts of Snow Geese were moving around a fair amount.

There was a gathering of Snow Geese on the ice at Knox-Marcellus and a flock 
flitting around on the north side of 31 at the Potato Fields.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese...?

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Don't be fooled by the "snow geese" on the south side of Route 31, there is a 
large spread of decoys in front of a hunting blind there. Much of the land on 
either side of the road is privately owned (except for the eastern-most portion 
along the Seneca River, that's USFWS owned). There is also another spread of 
decoys between the split of 31/89 and East Road, on Route 89, northern side of 
the road. I've been tricked before!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese...?

After an enjoyable counting of bald eagles at Onondaga Lake this morning I 
drove across to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. On Rt. 31 mucklands there were large 
numbers of snow geese on the south side of the road as well as many more 
landing further north but out of sight range.

At Carncross Rd. there were many Canada geese and some ducks on the front 
waters, but many snow geese were behind them on other open water stretches.

Hopefully they will be in closer viewing range in the coming days.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese and Tundra Swans

[Diane Stone]

Hundreds of Snow and Canada geese with a group of Tundra Swans at
Knox-Marsellus marsh yesterday. Another birdwatcher also claimed she saw a
Meadowlark in the field by the road but I did not see it.
