Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mystery Hoots at Six-mile Creek

[Suan Hsi Yong]

This would be a count week bird, as that was recorded 1/3.
I'd been hearing it every few days, but have not been keeping track of
which days.

[cayugabirds-l] Mystery Hoots at Six-mile Creek

[Suan Hsi Yong]

I have been hearing some mystery hoots from the woods of Six-mile
Creek off of Commonland. Can anyone identify the source? Dare I wonder
if it might be a Long-eared Owl?

  https://youtu.be/0byLaJ5eks0

These occurred as single hoots, with gaps of 12-20 seconds between them.
The recordings were made around 4am with my iPhone, and amplified
slightly with Audacity. I can supply the original WAVs if anyone wants
them.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese over Lansing NY this s morning

[Patrick L. McDonough]

Hello All and Happy New Year!
On the early morning walk today I saw 100's of Snow Geese flying northwest over 
the Lake and Lansing. I posted a photo and video on my Instagram page 
(@patlmcd) if you would like to see them; I have never seen this many flying 
overhead.
Have a great day and get ready for the snow this weekend, too.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl: Ithaca Tompkins Airport

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Happy New Year everyone!

It's worthwhile noting that Short-eared Owls seem rather abundant this year and 
it may be beneficial scouting large fallow fields during evening Civil 
Twilight—when the birds begin to forage.

January 1st, shortly after 5pm, there was a single foraging SHORT-EARED OWL 
within the fenced-in confines of the Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, 
seen at a distance from Snyder Road (near the Cornell Chemical Disposal Site 
building) looking Southwest. The bird was occasionally visible with binoculars 
when it passed in front of lighted airport hangars.

The bird was first spotted by me while using a thermal-imaging monocular—easily 
visible in the thermal scope as a white bird fluttering in moth-like fashion 
above the distant field. This is a "safe" non-roosting location for disclosure, 
because nobody can wander onto the fenced-in airport fields. The bird was also 
seen by Scott Anthony, as well as Marianne and Andrew Ridley—owners of the 
thermal scope.

We also spotted a non-vocal Great Horned Owl perched atop the Cornell Chemical 
Disposal Site building; which later flew and perched in a nearby tree—easily 
visible using the thermal scope.

Recent SEOW sightings may be found by searching eBird’s mapping tool (Species: 
Short-eared Owl; Date: Jan-Jan, Current year; Location: Tompkins County; Select 
“Show Points Sooner" if zoomed out):

https://ebird.org/map/sheowl?neg=true=-76.75796935096129=42.142747964409615=-76.1763806058441=42.74672139161836=true=false=Z=false=false=on=1=1=cur

Please respect private property and give owls the space they need to roost, 
feed, and forage without disruption from their routine.

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] A few more Count Week birds

[Dave Nutter]

Hi Paul (& All),

My review of Tompkins County eBird reports shows these additional Count Week 
species: 

WHITE-WINGED SCOTER on January 2, seen from Stewart Park by Kevin Packard, Tom 
Auer, and Lukas Levine.

HORNED LARK on January 3 on Mt Pleasant, observed by Tom Auer.

SNOW BUNTING on January 2 on Mt Pleasant, observed by Glenn Seeholzer.


You already have the reports of

CANVASBACK on January 4 in SW Cayuga L, observed by me, in case the report from 
Stewart Park on Count Day is retracted.  

TUFTED DUCK on January 2 in SW Cayuga L, observed by Conor Higgins (rarity as 
yet unconfirmed)

BUFFLEHEAD on January 2  in SW & SE Cayuga L, many observers. 

COMMON YELLOWTHROAT on January 3 SW of the Rink in Cass Park, on January 3 
observed by Jay McGowan and Tom Schulenberg. 


If there were additional count week species, the information will have to come 
from sources that I don’t monitor.
