[cayugabirds-l] report from Reuben

[Mary E. Winston]

Reuben called the front desk to report that the Snowy Owl is still being seen 
at the same place - corner of Reese Road and Sybolt Road (don't know if I spelt 
that correctly) and a Lapland Longspur is being seen on Sybolt road a few miles 
down from where the Owl is being seen.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] DEC Mixed messages?

Hi John, Gary, David and all,

Then every municipality, village, town, city, county, borough, etcetera that 
wanted to get out from under the state's exclusive authority to regulate 
hunting could easily do so, because even though local "no hunting" ordinances 
are not valid, local "no discharge" ordinances would trump DEC's authority?

Did you know that Ithaca's "no discharge" code is not limited to firearms? It 
includes projectile weapons of diverse kinds (air guns, spring guns, 
slingshots, and any other instruments or weapons). If that's valid, then it 
achieves an effective ban on hunting by any means except perhaps running down 
your prey and throttling it with your bare hands! :-)

Yes, I believe that is exactly what it means. For example, hunting can involve 
other implements besides guns. So a no firearms ban is not the same as a no 
hunting ban.

Hi Chris,

I have a bird question, and since you're at the Lab of O now, I'm hoping it's 
ok to start with you?

My son (undergrad) found a hurt pigeon (broken wing?) inside a building on 
campus last night, about 10:30.  What's the best thing for the non-birder to do 
in that situation?  He wanted to do something to help it, but had no idea what.

Thanks-

like a low clack/ cluck at uneven  intervals. It could be described as 
horseshoes on pavement. Some older some softer. I can never seem to get near to 
the sound. Any ideas what it might be from so little information?

I have spoken with this gentleman and offered to send him to the Vet School.  
He just wanted to do the right thing to let someone know and didn't want to 
take it any further.  I passed his concern to Victoria Campbell who was looking 
into it.  Thank you.

There is a multi-colored pigeon walking along West Northview Rd, off 
Coddington, banded, can't seem to fly but quite tame.  It was here yesterday, 
barely walking according to the person who saw it yesterday.  I couldn't find 
it when I got home yesterday, and he called the Lab of O and was told his 
message would be passed along to someone.

It is still here.  I have a pic of it if someone wants me to text it to them.  
Not sure what else to do.

Happy New Year ...almost - I came to the Lab today to fill bird feeders in the 
Bird Garden and I stopped to watch what came to the feeders afterwards - 16

what comes to the feeders when there is no one around!

large flocks of starlings. Last winter, for the 1st time, it was eating suet!! 
Other mockers live/stay in the thick stand of cedars a block away.

We often see a mocker down along 90 at Levannah  a couple other places along 
90.

Snow geese, noisily gabbing to each other, went to the lake by the thousands 
last evening just before dark.

Wishing all our birding friends a very merry Christmas.

Interesting following the comments on sightings and missing RT Hummingbirds.  
Still have our female and juvenile here in Big Flats. No males. Actually, we 
are seeing more activity than during the first half of the summer.

I have a theory on why they sometimes seem to disappear in summer, only to 
return. I think they have just found a new, better food source that may be 
temporary. It comes to mind that insects are good source of protein for them.

So, today, I observed our female RTH land on the stalk below the Monarda didyma 
flower head, and pick something from under the dried flower head.  I theorize 
it is small spiders or similar insects.  She then took flight to draw nectar 
from the few remaining flowers on adjacent stalks and again perched under a 
dried flower head to pick something from underneath.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Stranded Common Loon

My sister-in-law lives on Flat Iron Road across from the Goetchius Preserve.  
She noticed that a Common Loon must have gotten sucked through a culvert from 
the large pond on the other side of the road and is now stuck in a small stream 
with only around 100 ft running upsteam in which to take off.  I know Loons 
need a large body of water for take off.  Is there anyone who would know what 
to do in this situation?

Thanks for any advice or assistance,
Glen
