While letting the dog out just now, I was surprised by a Northern Saw-whet Owl calling from the northern section of the Village of Lansing Greenway that ends at the Bomax Rd. fields. The vocalization lasted for about 15 seconds, paused for about 10, and then resumed for another 10 seconds or so, before stopping completely when the local coyotes started howling.
I'm guessing the northward movement of Saw-whets is underway, so it might be worth checking traditional spots in the coming weeks. -Scott -- 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/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
