Driving around on Saturday in So. Cayuga County and North Lansing, I saw two
different pairs of Red Tailed Hawks in close proximity to each other, flying
around.

Yesterday about 5 pm I heard two Great Horned Owls dueting close by
while the dogs and I were out stretching our legs. After several
minutes the duet changed to a single 'hoot' that was repeated over 30
times evenly on one pitch, then a short pause, then another set of 37
hoots, then back to duets. According to the Owl CDs put out by the Lab
several years ago, this is a 'copulation call.'
Also saw two Red Tailed Hawks flying together on Friday afternoon, so
close that their wing tips nearly touched, then they landed high up in a
bare tree and sat together quietly side by side, still there without
changing their position when I had to leave after 5 minutes.
