[cayugabirds-l] Treman Marina Ospreys fledged this afternoon

2012-08-12 Thread nutter.dave 
At mid-day when I canoed to the lake I saw Ospreys flying around, and I saw Gary Kohlenberg along the shore, who later confirmed that there were 3 Ospreys on the platform. This evening at dusk on my walk I saw at the platform nor obvious around the park. --Dave Nutter

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mud Lock duck

2012-08-12 Thread Carol Keeler 
Suan, 
I photographed the Greater Scaup that was injured earlier in the spring.  I 
don't know if it's what you saw.  It doesn't sound the same.  Anyway you can 
see the image at this link.

This bird was there from March through at least May which was the last time I 
looked for it.

[cayugabirds-l] Cool hawk event

2012-08-12 Thread Stephanie Greenwood 
On the way to the Plantsmen's Garden Gathering event yesterday with 
friends who are visiting, just before we got there, I spotted either a 
Coopers or Sharpie coming from the right side of the road being chased 
by another small bird. As I slowed down it suddenly flew in front of the 
car and grabbed another small bird off the telephone/electric wires on 
the left side of the road and flew off with it in its claws. It was all 
incredibly fast, so no ID possible. But it was amazing to see!
It was also amazing that I managed to keep the car on the road while 
watching!
