Subject: [nysbirds-l] Northern Hawk Owl - Clinton County (14 Feb 2010)
NYSbirders,
A Northern Hawk Owl previously reported in Champlain, Clinton County,
NY was still in the area yesterday afternoon (14 Feb). Chris Wiley,
Alberto Lopez, Carolyn Sedgwick, and I saw the bird perched behind the
house at 494
Prospect St. in Champlain. Two Northern Shrikes and two Ruffed Grouse
were also along Prospect St.
Searching through my email inbox, I do not think this bird was
reported to the state listserv even though it is a state rarity and
has been present for several weeks (reported 20 January 2010 by Donna
Gooley) - even
on the local listserv
(http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NNYB.html), there were no
updates on the hawk owl since 6 February. It might be helpful if
local birders or
visitors could continue to monitor and update on the presence/ absence
of the owl
- if not to help traveling birders, it is at the very least
interesting and important to note the entire date range of such a rare
bird's stay.
We saw another long-staying Northern Hawk Owl a bit west of Montreal
earlier in the day (<1 hr NW of Champlain, NY).
