RE: [cayugabirds-l] Sights and Sounds of Fall

[Susan Evans-Pond]

I have a pair of Great Horned Owls duetting almost daily in the early morning 
hours (4:20 to 5:30) near my house on West Hill.  I'm an early riser and if I 
have any windows open, it's an enchanting, completely distracting sound to 
listen to.  I've recorded it on Merlin several times.  Thanks for the info 
about male and female difference in pitch.  They sound like they're sitting in 
different trees, fairly close together.  I would love to follow this pair's 
mating and hopefully family-raising cycle through winter.  I'm reading more 
about them now, but any insights would be appreciated.

Bluejays have been flying south in flocks the past couple of days - usually in 
the morning and where I am (up on Snyder Hill) - quite close to the treetops. 
I’ll never forget the spectacle of hundreds of them streaming along the cliff 
sides as seen from Myers park. And yet my local families are busy at the 
feeders, loading up on sunflower seed and flying off to cache them.

Last night, for a good 45 minutes, there was a male Great Horned Owl hooting 
continuously from somewhere on the edge of the woods. First time I have heard 
one since last winter. I expect that soon the female will show up and the pair 
will begin duetting. (male’s voice higher - females’ lower) I’ve never found 
their nest, never even come across a fledgling up here (they usually give 
themselves away by their loud, incessant calls).

RE: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese feeding with Canada geese

[Susan Evans-Pond]

I found the snow geese Deb mentioned, about 20-25, with 1 adult blue morph,
by themselves in the ag field, possibly about one field further west.  If
you park in the entrance to the YMCA Camp and look across (slightly
northeast toward a yellow piece of farm equipment near the forest, they were
midway, in a sheltered down-slope area in front of a thin line of trees.
The Canada Geese flock was in a field just north/west of them, not visible
from 79.

On ag field along Rt 79, north side of 79 and first ag field past the
Lindermere apartments. Flock of Canada geese gleaning and a few snow geese,
maybe a handful, mixed in.

On a short Sunday drive in southern Cayuga county & North Lansing, I saw some 
Snow Buntings, including 2 that stood out in a largish (40?) flock of flying 
Redpolls! 

 

Saw a few little flocks of Horned Larks, then a larger flock at Belltown Dairy, 
Mahaney Rd. at town/ county line, 

then found 3 lovely Bluebirds in a tall bare tree on Davis Rd (Lansing).

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Robins

[Susan Evans-Pond]

Likewise, 10-15 robins in flying around and perching in the forest trees and 
bushes on the east side of Westhaven Road (West Hill) behind the houses.  They 
were curious, sometimes perching quite close to where I was snow-shoeing.  Also 
lurking high in the trees were 3 Cedar Waxwings and the usual and very 
plentiful cardinals, chickadees, white-throated and house sparrows, chickadees, 
crows, juncos and starlings.

A beautiful morning.

I saw about 15 robins flying together and perching in the trees by the side of 
Bundy Road at about 1pm today.  I haven't seen any other robins since the fall. 
 Have they migrated back here already, or do some stay here all winter?  Marsha
