I guess you all are referring to the earlier posts of owls. If you read the title of the message and then the rest of the message itself will give you general idea of the locations. Of course the second one was about the residence hall, so that must pertain to some college or university. A

This may sound a little nit-picky, but when reporting a bird sighting could those reporting please give a location and not use local references or not so well known initials. Some of us flunked Mind Reading 101 (humorous smiley face assumed) Thanks Carl Steckler -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Owasco Lake has frozen over, essentially. Owasco has had the largest number of Tundra Swans (hundreds) I’ve ever seen along the west lake shore, but now most are gone — most likely flown over to Cayuga Lake. There are still small pockets of open water along Owasco’s west shore, north of the

I certainly empathize with Meena's concern, and nobody wants the reporting of locations to get tedious, but I'm hoping there could be a happy medium that would be quick and easy, and more helpful. In my view there are actually many posts over time where the location is frustratingly ambiguous,

Groups of 4 and 5 visible simultaneously from North Point, another group of 6 at south cove, and a Kingfisher near the marina. Loads of Canada geese and mallards, and some mergansers further out. Also watched a hawk eating a duck for a while. Pretty sure it was a red-tailed hawk, but it was a

On a whim I returned to Yale Farm Rd. on the way home (~5:30pm). I didn't see the all-white owl but on a telephone pole right at the intersection of Yale Farm Rd. and McGrane Rd. there was a second very heavily streaked SNOWY OWL affording outstanding views despite the low light. Any with three

This afternoon I went to the cornfields on Cayuga View Rd, TBurg to photograph the hundreds of crows. In a small tree next to the road there was a MOCKINGBIRD, the first I have seen this winter. (Well, maybe the second.). Further south on the road were 4 HORNED LARKS. But the crows were the main

The EASTERN SCREECH OWL (brown phase) that Jim Norwalk spotted on Monday in a cavity in the roof of Durfee Hall on the HWS campus is still present, though it is perched further inside the cavity. The owl is in a missing soffit panel on the eastern eave of the Durfee Residence Hall, facing
