Hi All,
Today, though the light was more than dreadful, I took a drive down
to Ithaca to see the Red-Tails at the game farm. There were about 25
without even trying. The thing I didn't get is are they actively
hunting the Pheasants? I did see a couple Red tails on a bird of some
sort inside or somewhere in the center of the cages. It was really
hard to see well through the fence. I did see a Red Tail above the
enclosures on the side road too. Are they part of a program for
Cornell? Just curious.......
On my way home I found what I think is a Sharp-Shinned on a wire on
Potter Rd. It was hunting a bird which it did grab right after I got a
brief look and a photo. If I have the wrong id feel free to direct me.
I thought it was a Sharpie because of it's legs and it was so slender,
but on hawks, I still am learning! http://www.pbase.com/image/121833644
I lingered until late to look for Short -eared Owls. No luck. I did
see a lot of Red-Tails and Crows. Diana Whiting
