[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods Blue-winged Teals

[Anne Marie Johnson]

On a lunchtime walk today several of us saw 3 Blue-winged Teals on the pond 
near the islands. Someone was there taking pictures of them when we 
arrived. The ducks quickly disappeared out of sight heading left towards 
the Podell Boardwalk. I looked for them at 2:00 from the staff lounge and 
could not find them. Also on the pond was a pair of Hooded Mergansers.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sign of the Season

[marsha kardon]

Yes, the world is a richer place for me since I began birding; I hear and
see so much more beauty.

[cayugabirds-l] Owling Trip

[bob mcguire]

We had an interesting experience last night. John Confer led an “owing trip” 
for the CBC. Our first stop was Wood Road north where it is broken by a stream 
crossing. John tried unsuccessfully for saw-whet, screech, and then great 
horned owls - we have had some of them at that location in past years. As is 
got dark, Suan pulled out his infared camera and began scanning the woods for 
“warm bodies”. What he picked up was amazing! A RUFFED GROUSE perched high in a 
tree (probably poplar - probably feeding on the new buds or the catkins). We 
then listened to several woodcocks penning and then follow one of them (on the 
camera screen) as it took of, flew its loops, then settled to the ground again. 
What an asset that camera is for night-time birding!

The only owl we were able to find was a saw-whet that gave a short response 
call to playback at the bottom of Star Stanton Road.
