[cayugabirds-l] Help with Merlin nesting

2020-04-03 Thread John Confer
Hi Folks,

   I continue to monitor Merlin nesting. It is early now, but I'd sure like it 
if people would let confergoldw...@aol.com know about nesting. I am good at not 
sharing if theire is any possibility of adversely affecting the nesting pair.

The result of a lot of cracked corn: this morning I had Fox, Field, Tree, and 
Song Sparrows on the ground at once. Nice.

Stay well,

John

[cayugabirds-l] Winnowing Snipe

2020-04-03 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
While enjoying the raptor count last night at F.L. National Forest’s Ballard 
Pasture on Searsburg Rd., Hector, I was treated to quite loud Wilson’s Snipe 
winnowing. 

The usual Woodcock peenting started about 7:50 pm, but the Snipe caught me by 
surprise as I haven’t heard it in several years. I did think I had my first 
local Boreal Owl ;) I normally only hear alarm calls as they rocket away from 
my clumsy attempts at stealth. 

No owls present for me, but it was still a nice time to be out social 
distancing in the dark. 

Cheers,
Gary
