Bald Eagles aren't the only raptors on the move. At noon Sunday as I was headed toward the Park Preserve, driving north from Slaterville Springs from NYS-79 on Midline Road, I saw an adult GOLDEN EAGLE circling about a quarter mile away. I was able to set up my tripod and scope and get a decent look before it set its wings and glided off to the SSE and disappeared from view behind a hill and trees.
This afternoon about 3:50pm as I was walking from Ithaca's West End toward downtown I saw a MERLIN in buoyant flight working its way SSE over downtown Ithaca. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
