There is a Red-tailed hawk nest not far from the owls' nest. We have photos
of the owls from Friday evening, April 17.

Hi,
I saw the GHO on the nest today.
Cheers,

A friend sent me a photo of the chick in the nest time stamped 10:45 am

know Gary K said he spent a bunch of time looking at the wrong nest a
couple of weeks ago.

Correction: I was at the GH Owl nest THURSDAY morning, around 9:00 am.
One adult and one large nestling were visible in the nest.

Well that is totally bizarre, because some friends of mine said they saw
the GH Owls on that nest Saturday afternoon (I think) and I was there
myself on Friday morning when the owls were definitely in residence.
What happened?

The warbler team had a moderately good day. We did not find many
migrants: one White-throated Sparrow as we were leaving the Lab and then
a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker calling as we got into the cars. The swan pen
at Stewart Park had few birds and the waterfront produced the more
common waterfowl. An ornithology class from Binghamton did find a Ruddy
Duck, which we missed. We heard and saw Fish Crow, at least 5 around the
picnic tables near the band shelter. We did hear the wheesey call and
see glimpses of two Blue-gray Gnatcatchers along the west band of Fall
Creek.
We drove over to the golf course and first stopped to see the Great
Horned Owl nest. To our total surprise, , although there was no owl in
sight, there was a Red-tailed Hawk flat on the nest as if incubating. I
know some species reuse the nest of other species, but two raptor
species in the same season? If the red-tail is incubating, it must have
started laying almost immediately after the GHOW left, because it was
there just two weeks ago.
Jetty Woods had ~30 cormorants distributed among two trees with a lot
of guano beneath them, suggesting several days stay. We had a fine view
of a flicker singing, if you call it that, and then later the same bird
on the ground, apparently eating ants.
Perhaps most enjoyably, we found a White-breasted Nuthatch pair
carrying material into a cavity in the end of a large, broken branch
along the south end of Jetty Woods. One bird actually removed some
material from the nest, which reminded me of trying to move furniture to
please my wife.
A nice morning of birding.
