RE:[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Screech-Owl
The screech-owl was in the tree cavity opening again this morning. Last year it seemed to most frequently appear in the opening when it was sunny, so I was skeptical this morning, but it was there. Thanks, Dave, for reminding us about this owl! The cavity is about half way up a tree at the back edge of the parking lot on the left side of the Dandy Mart on Rt. 79 in the village of Slaterville Springs (in the town of Caroline). If you don't see a dark cavity, then the owl is probably in the opening, well camouflaged. The cavity faces the parking lot and is easily seen from one of the parking spaces on the left side of the building.

[cayugabirds-l] Dandy's dandy drive-by screech - again
I stop by the Slaterville Springs Dandy store several times a week to get a newspaper on my way to/from work. I hadn't seen the owl or months. It really surprised me that David saw it, and also gave me considerable pleasure. I looked at the cavity at about 11:00 this morning. It wasn't there when I went in the store, but when I glanced at the hole when I came back, there was this gray, streaked ball of feathers filling up the hole.

[cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon Seneca Falls
~10:20 this morning while heading South on 414, I saw what looked to be a Peregrine chasing through some residential pines on the West side of the road. I went back North for a look and it luckily landed on a nearby telephone pole. Turned out to be a Gyrfalcon. It managed to sit still for a minute or so then flew East over the middle of Lott farm.

[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca/Tompkins airport, Th 1/29
At 3:00 on Thursday afternoon, my daughter Francesca Chu and her friend Madeline Turner and I saw two ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS kiting above the west side of the intersection of Cherry and Warren Roads in Lansing, near the edge of the Ithaca airport. Two Syracuse birders found these birds as well. I had no magnifying optics, but one hawk's wings appeared as white as I've ever seen on this species. The other was darker, but still I'd call it a light-morph bird. eBird records from the past few days show lots of Rough-legged Hawk sightings here and over on the Snyder Road side of the airport property, as well as a couple on Burdick Hill Road.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
The location is in Summerhill near the SE corner of Cayuga County, around Lane E in the vicinity of a lake house with thistle socks, tube feeders, and platform feeders and nearby houses also with feeders. During almost an hour of viewing a flock of about a hundred finches (overwhelmingly AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES) which were in the tops of large spruces and deciduous trees, flying between trees, and sometimes a few at the feeders, we were able to find 1 PINE SISKIN and 3 COMMON REDPOLLS. --Dave Nutter On Jan 29, 2015, at 01:15 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: At Lake Como 1196 Lake Como Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Snow Buntings, Horned Larks
The roadsides along Mt Pleasant Rd have been plowed far back exposing some bare ground and these opened up areas have attracted a lot of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks (more of the latter than I've seen together all winter up here) to feed today. Given these close views, it is worth checking the flocks for longspurs, before the snow drifts over to cover up the bare ground again. (I didn't see any though...)

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Northern Shrike
We Initially saw this lovely adult for several minutes at the top of one of the row of tall spruces behind the house on the NW corner of NYS-90 Lick St. It then flew NNE to the top of a lone tall deciduous tree along the east side of Lick Street, then it flew NW down among the young conifers of the tree farm proper, and we lost sight of it. --Dave Nutter On Jan 29, 2015, at 02:16 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: At Christmas Tree Farm at Rt. 90 and Lick Street in Summer Hill.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lapland Longspur
This field NW of Ledyard Rd Dixon Rd (Town of Ledyard, Cayuga County) had exposed corn among stubble close to Ledyard Rd, and scores of HORNED LARKS were easy to see. We initially saw the LAPLAND LONGSPUR with a few of the larks on the road shoulder, but when they moved north into the field to join the other larks, we did not spend enough time to refind it. With more patience and less blowing snow I think it could have been found. Farther NW in that same field, west of some power lines and north of a low rise, we saw about 20 SNOW BUNTINGS flying up briefly, perhaps part of a larger group. Again, with less wind and more patience they might be refound. --Dave Nutter On Jan 29, 2015, at 03:42 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: On Ledyard Road just west of Dixon Road.
