I bet this is the same one I saw at Judd Falls the other day by the fish lab. 
The first one I've seen this winter.

The TV, which I have been seeing from office window is back. It generally gets 
up around this time. I think it is probably roosting somewhere in the Cornell 
Plantations.

[cayugabirds-l] Down town Raven

2011-01-25 Thread bilbaker
Late this morning while I was stopped at the light at Clinton St and Rt. 13
a Raven flew over Rt 13 flying basically west to east.  This is the first
Raven I have seen in the down town area. Have I just been missing them? I
am curious if others have seen Ravens actually in down town.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] BLACK VULTURE

2011-01-25 Thread david nicosia
Susan,

I had a black vulture last week in Johnson City.
There were also a few reported in spring/summer
in the Ithaca area. This species apparently continues
to spread northward. Neat.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] BLACK VULTURE

Sorry Sorry Sorry.  I thought sent this info to the rare bird alert, but I must 
not know what am I doing.  I had to rush to send off the text before my 
students 
came into the classroom and caught me with an illegal device. Who knows what 
I 
did wrong, but tonight when I finally had a chance to check my phone, I 
realized 
that the incoming text that I thought was the one I had sent actually was one 
telling me that BLACK is reserved.  Someday I'll figure out what I did wrong.  
Anyway, on to the story of the bird...

A couple of days ago I was driving up Rt 13 somewhere near Triphammer and 
noticed some birds soaring off to my left.  At least one and possibly two had 
the jizz of a Black Vulture (shorter tail, shorter wings, less dihedral than 
Turkey Vulture).  Given that the lighting was bad, I was late for work, and 
going at least 60 mph, I soon put it out of my mind as just a trick of my 
eyes.  
But then again today I was driving up Rt 13 between Triphammer and Warren and 
again noticed three birds circling off to my left.  Again at least one of the 
birds definitely had the jizz of a Black Vulture.  This time the lighting was 
better, I wasn't so late for work, and I had the sense to take my lead foot off 
of the accelerator AND the bird was kind enough to bank just at the right time 
to show me its white wing tips.

I am usually the first to doubt myself when I see something rare, but I am 
confident of this ID.  I grew up in the Hudson Valley and have made many trips 
south so I have some decent experience with this bird.  


Keep your eye aimed at the sky the next time you are flying up Rt 13 around 
8:45 
am.

Susan Danskin

[cayugabirds-l] Tundra Swans

2011-01-25 Thread Elaina McCartney
There were four Tundra Swans at the edge of the ice, SW corner of Cayuga Lake, 
late in the afternoon.  The usual number lately has been three.  Didn't have a 
chance to count other waterfowl, but there were approximately 20 Great 
Black-backed Gulls and several hundred Canada Geese, also some Redheads but I 
didn't have a change to do a complete survey.
