[cayugabirds-l] Silk purse from sow's ear.

[John Confer]

So, my calendar says I was leading a Cayuga Bird Club trip on Sunday, 9 March. 
Knowing my success with owls, this may have been doomed from the start. 
Apparently, the entire rest of the world thought I was leading an owl prowl on 
Saturday, 8 March. O dear. I'm sorry. Ann Mitchell was kind enough to call to 
see if I was coming, but she has an unlisted phone number that I don't know. O 
dear, o dear. Sow's ear number one.



Months ago when scheduling this tragi-comic event,   I forgot about Daylight 
Sayings time and 7:00 PM was about an hour too early for any anticipated owl. 
Fortunately, I had the brilliant idea of going around the back of the airport 
to listen for American Woodcock, of which there were none that we could hear. 
More sows' ears.



Incredibly, there were two Short-eared Owls at about 7:20 flying around the 
northwest corner of the airport, which I will trade for American Woodcock 
anytime. Two silk purses.



Proceeded to the north end of Wood Rd and heard, some even saw, a pair of 
courting Great Horned Owls. At this point, we should have gone home with our 
silk purses and called it quits. No screech or saw-whet.



Stopped at three more locations on Wood Rd. No saw-whet, screech or Barred Owl.



No Screech along Lower Creek Rd.



Stopped at three locations on the Recreational Way for no screech.



Stopped at three locations on Thomas Rd with no screech or saw-whet, although I 
have had both along that portion of the road within the last month.



Stopped on the west side of Freeze Rd., just north of the bridge over Fall 
Creek and did get a screech owl to respond. The bird moved around and changed 
its song so that there could have been 1 to 3 owls.



Back to the lab,



and on my way home stopped at Thomas Rd., and got a screech owl to respond 
north of the bed and breakfast.



cheers,



John

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owls - Ithaca Airport

[John Confer]

Two Short-eared Owls flying inside chain link fence at about 7:20 Sunday 
evening. First spotted by Bob, eagle eye, McGuire who was still sitting inside 
a car after all the rest of us had gotten out of three different cars and did 
not notice anything. And the moral is ... ?

[cayugabirds-l] Abject apologies for my screw up with this weekend's Owl Prowl

[Linda Orkin]

So sorry I got these dates mixed up for all of you and for John who had
generously offered to lead.  He told me to go ahead and send out the invite
and I just mixed it up. I had it as March 9 on the calendar but second
guessed myself after sending John the incorrect date in a reminder.  It was
supposed to be March 9 all along.

Sorry to those who showed up without John being there and very sorry to
John  for messing up his very well planned owl evening.

Linda Orkin

[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Short-eared Owls

[bob mcguire]

The greatest surprise on last evening's Owl Prowl (Cayuga Bird Club field trip 
led by John Confer) was a sighting of two foraging Short-eared Owls inside the 
fence at the north end of the TC airport. We had driven up that way to look for 
woodcocks before it got dark enough for owls. No woodcocks - and surprisingly 
few owls for the night. I'll wait for John's report.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] American three-toed woodpecker

[Gary Kohlenberg]

Hi Martin,
I was fortunate to see an ATTW in 2006 ? , I need to verify 
with my notes, in Pharsalia WMA. The thing that struck me most about this bird 
was the feeding behavior. You wouldn't notice this on suet of course, but she 
would feed horizontally, peeling bark chunks instead of drilling like we 
normally see. It may have been because of this that she moved very quickly from 
place to place, probing for insects. I had to practically jog to keep her in 
view. The overall black aspect was also striking for someone used to seeing our 
common local woodpeckers.

Gary

Thank you all for your patience. This morning we had downys, hairys, and

We'll be checking at lunchtime (his and ours).

Dave,

Hairys come to our suet feeder often. It's not a Hairy. I'd say that the Hairys 
don't have as much "bulk" as this bird did.

Sorry I don't have more to describe of the body wing colors. The bird perched 
on the suet feeder in such a way that I could see only its left side. What I 
remember of it is that the belly was black/grey with white flecks and the wing 
was similar. Not as much white anywhere as I've seen on a Hairy, especially the 
belly. There was also a whitish stripe under its eye. Later this afternoon 
there has been a Downy and Hairy at the feeder. They both had more clear white 
on their bodies, especially on the underside.

The thing I remember most clearly was its call, the base tone of which was 
lower than the hairy's and still lower than the downy's, and the "cheep" of it 
all was somehow "richer" than that of the downy and hairy.

About size, I'd say that it is hard to know if it was larger or smaller than 
the Hairys I've seen, but I said larger because of the bulk of it.

Best, Marty

Dear Marty & Susie
Please describe more about the feather patterns on the woodpecker. What pattern

My Sibley guide says the three-toed is a bit smaller than the Hairy wdpkr. 
(Altho without the two seen together, size is hard to judge, as they tell us in 
Spring Field Ornithology class)

However, the Black-Backed wdpkr, which also has a yellow head patch, is 
slightly larger than an Amer. Three Toed and the Hairy.

Both the Black- Backed and Amer. Three-toed Woodpeckers would be rare here, but 
w this severe winter weather it seems like anything is possible.

It has also been on a maple tree about 20 feet away from the feeder, moving

hairy and downy that I have heard: short and "chippy", with a timbre that is 
bright and brisk, but the "base" tone is lower than the hairy and downy.
