[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl info
Fellow birders: I was so appalled& angered by the bad, stupid & dangerous behavior of birders along Martin Rd. last yr. that I deliberately left locality information out of my post yesterday. By today, the owl could be most anywhere but for those of you who know about the airport, Lott Farms & surrounding areas south of Seneca Falls, the snowy was along Martin Rd. on a post, looking all the world like a light globe in the setting sun. Becky got pictures. Whether someone else saw the owl & posted it to E-bird, I don't know because I don't "do" E-bird. If someone wants to notify Joe Brin about the sighting or add it to the FOY record, please do. Becky & I were just thrilled to be able to see the owl so clearly in the very short time we had to swing down that way. Where it might have had the magic marker markings put on top of the head is a mystery but last yr. someone was trapping Snowies & marking them so they weren't being captured & re-tallied.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club field trip around the lake - Saturday Dec 8
Hi everyone, Ken Kemphues and I will be leading a full-day field trip around the lake tomorrow (Saturday). We'll meet at Stewart Park (east end) at 8am and plan to return around 4:30pm. Our focus will be on the birds that come to Cayuga Lake in winter. We'll pick through the rafts of Redheads and related ducks at the south end of the lake, and check swans at the north end. We'll watch for grebes, mergansers, loons, raptors, and other birds along the way. Dress very warmly - with more layers than you think you'll need! Temperatures will be in the 20's. We will stop for food at the north end of the lake, but you may want to bring a beverage and snacks. If you have a scope, please bring it. This field trip is open to all. Please email Diane at dianegmor...@gmail.com if you have questions.
