[cayugabirds-l] apex sighting ... goose on a pole

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

Colleen  That goose is a "dummy" put there by NYSEG to keep ospreys 
from building a nest there until an extension can be put on the poles 
/well above the transformers/ before the ospreys return.� Daughter, 
Becky Sewell, who monitors the osprey nests for Candace Cornell since 
I'm no longer able, knows where /all three of them/ are.

* One is on the transformer pole on the west side of 90, between the 
Union Springs Fire Department and the casino (Lakeside Entertainment). 
Map coordinates are 42.852716, -76.690844.

* South of Union Springs is one on the transformer pole on the west 
side of 90, across from Great Gully Road. Map coordinates are 42.811910, 
-76.699376.

* Another is on the pole on the west side of 90, at the northeast 
(toward Union Springs) corner of a little patch of trees at the top of 
the hill above Cayuga Lake Farm, (north of Levanna) with a nice view of 
the lake (from the top of the pole, anyway). Coordinates are 42.795959, 
-76.710332.

Last fall, Becky actually "rescued" a NYSEG man at the Great Gully Rd. 
utility pole when the engine on his truck quit & his fully extended 
lift, with him in it, wouldn't go down. He was stuck! She had seen him & 
stopped to ask why the osprey nest had been removed & why a fake Canada 
goose had been put atop the pole. I'm sure he was glad for a "nosy" 
female 'cause she did what he told her so he got down okay.

_So_ ... _*yes*, there really is a Canada goose balancing atop a utility 
pole._ The three /rigid, unmoving decoys/ have been securely fastened to 
the poles, so if NYSEG may never take them down, the poor ospreys will 
simply move their operations to other transformer poles since those are 
their favorite places, on the twin cross-arms above the transformers.

Oh, and last week, Becky found that a new, sturdier, bald eagle nest has 
been built in a taller tree in the hedgerow south of Backus Rd. which 
goes west, down to Hibiscus Harbor just north of Rte. 326. It is 
replacing the former red-tail hawk/bald eagle nest, still seen in a 
slightly shorter tree about halfway down the hedgerow behind the Union 
Springs casino/fire station/Lakeside Trading gas station. It is highly 
visible from 90, at the storage units at the intersection of 90 and 326. 
She saw an adult eagle in the tree yesterday. Until trees leaf out, the 
nest(s) can be seen from the parking lots of those places & from Backus 
Rd., esp. from the 2nd curve, under the osprey nest pole. The new nest's 
higher position lifts it above the shorter trees that typically obscured 
the older, lower nest, giving much nicer, clearer views of the nest and 
hopefully its occupants! Its APPROXIMATE coordinates (it doesn't show on 
Googlemaps) are 42.857367, -76.697237, or very nearby.

BTW, there is also a red-tail hawk nest in the first clump of trees 
north of Backus Road after leaving 90. It was occupied in 2020 at least. 
Map coordinates are 42.860886, -76.695246.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Dave Nutter]

My first 2021 American Robin was on the Count on New Year’s Day, a single bird 
in the suburban neighborhood above my home on Ithaca’s West Hill. It was over a 
month before I saw another Robin: On February 6th, around the time that other 
folks began writing on CayugaBirds-L about flocks of them, I happened to be 
staring out a window with my scope aimed toward the Collegetown skyline when a 
few distant passerines crossed my view. They were substantial and dark but 
didn’t have fast and regular wingbeats of Starlings. Fortunately, they were 
tracking toward me, and I stayed on one until it surprised me with a telltale 
white lower belly and undertail coverts contrasting with brick red elsewhere 
below. Closer, and the fuller wings and longer tail supported the ID as well. 
How novel to see a Robin shape! Scanning nearby, I confirmed 4 of them before 
they went out of view. Neat, but a bit weak as a contribution to discussions of 
flocks. Sorry.

Yesterday, while trying to write, I kept being distracted by individual birds 
flying past the window, too far away for an easy naked-eye ID, but too fast for 
me to get binoculars on them. Eventually I gave up and went to the window as 
they became more organized. They were Robins, and at least 40 of them went past 
toward the bit of woods nearby, but they didn’t seem to be feeding. 

Today we were expecting a delivery, so I set up closer to the window. I didn’t 
get much of my writing project done. The Robins came back. Many settled into a 
Hawthorn tree whose numerous fruits I had assumed nobody liked. But they were 
tasty enough today. Another little tree that I hadn’t thought much about also 
had fruit, and the Robins covered that tree, too, and brought a few Cedar 
Waxwings along. Birds were busy emerging from the woods, eating, and resting in 
nearby trees. I tried to count them and got to at least 60 Robins. A few other 
birds tagged along - a Starling, a male and a female Red-bellied Woodpecker, a 
male Hairy, and also a gorgeous Flicker. I showed Laurie, who declared the 
array well worth looking at. She’s getting a bit tired of the small 
dull-colored birds. 

Then a Red-tailed Hawk, who had spent the morning next door quietly sitting 
atop a large tree, tried to join the party. Awkward! That so-called raptor was 
really bad at hunting songbirds in the woods, and after a few short flights and 
asymmetrical landings, it gave up and left. I hope it finds a nice, fat, slow 
squirrel crossing the snow. Within a minute the birds were back at the berries. 
A dozen Robins were thirsty enough that they came down to the pavement to sip 
at wet spots. I kept scanning through all the birds, hoping for a Hermit 
Thrush. No luck there, but I did notice something atop a tree about a quarter 
mile away: a young Cooper’s Hawk who has graced my yard many times this season 
without catching anything that I saw. How could it not notice the activity 
here? When my attention wandered I suddenly saw several Robins start a rush 
straight for the woods. Yup, the Cooper’s Hawk came ripping past, but veering 
off, again unlucky, I think. 
Still, everyone took this predator seriously, and the feeding session seemed to 
be over. A little while later I noticed Robins leaving the woods to fly away 
over downtown. There were 2 groups totaling about 75. The maximum number of 
Cedar Waxwings I saw at once was only 5. There is still some fruit, so I hope 
they come back. 

I still need to go out and try to ID that mystery tree. And get back to the 
other writing project.

[cayugabirds-l] apex sightings

[Colleen Richards]

Have been away for a few days without computer, but wanted to share an 
out-of-basin as well as in-basin pair of sightings. While driving on Rt.17/86 E 
late Friday afternoon, I saw a large, light-colored bird on the very top (hence 
apex) of a pine tree making it eye level with the highway. Raptor yes, but hawk 
no! It was a short-eared owl!Then Sunday afternoon, completing a circling of 
Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, something else odd appeared on the top of a telephone 
pole along Rt. 90. Unless someone was playing a joke, a Canada Goose appeared 
to be trying to balance on that apex by raising and lowering his head and neck! 
 Strange sightings indeed!Colleen Richards

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[bob mcguire]

I just got back from a walk with the dogs along Whitted Road (Snyder Hill area, 
Town of Dryden). We had a flock of at least 140 American Robins. None appeared 
to be feeding, but were moving leisurely from tree-to-tree in a SE direction.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Geo Kloppel]

There have been well over 100 around my place on Tupper Road in West Danby for 
several days. They’ve stripped all the sumac fruits, the privet berries and the 
wild grapes. One stretch of road shoulder looks like the goose-fouled lawns at 
lakeside parks, but the droppings are deep purple instead of green.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 Robins

[Todd Beeton]

Haven't seen the 50+ Robins that had swarmed Castle Heights in Geneva to
feed off my neighbor's berry tree since Saturday when they all but
decimated it.

My neighbor says she's had the tree for years but this was the first winter
she's seen anything like this.

I was at the Reservoir yesterday, not far from your place, and had 38 Robins 
drinking at a small puddle in the frozen river. There were more in the nearby 
trees I’m sure.

Just had at least 50 American Robins fly into the trees outside my
window here in Commonland on East Hill / Six-Mile Creek. They hung out
in the trees for about a minute before flying off. 50 is a
conservative lower-bound count of what I could see. When they
departed, there were small waves flying by from out of view, so there
could well have been 100.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] RFI Historical Ithaca Lark Sparrow report

[browncreeper9]

Hi, Dave,

 

The searchable Kingbird Archive which anyone can access through the NYSOA 
website mentions the report in the Winter 1980 issue.  The only additional 
detail was that the observer was Steve Sabo.  An asterisk by his initials 
indicates that details were on file.  Since NYSARC reviewed it, the details 
should be on file with NYSARC.  Jay McGowan is currently on the committee and 
may know how to access the details.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] RFI Historical Ithaca Lark Sparrow report

 

Hi all, 

 

I just noticed that last year an historical report of a LARK SPARROW in Ithaca 
was added to eBird, referencing the 1979 New York State Avian Records Committee 
(NYSARC )Annual Report, published in the Kingbird Volume 30, Number 4. Looking 
at that online, as far as I can tell, all it says is that there was a singing 
adult on 5 September 1979 in Ithaca, and that it was “about the 8th” record in 
NYS. Does anyone know (or know how to find out) more specifically where it was 
or who observed it? Thanks!
