Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cooper's Hawk

[Norm Trigoboff]

Several days ago a coopers hawk stood (in a couple of inches of flowing water) 
in the creek along Lake Ave. in Ithaca for maybe 15 minutes. A handful of 
people stopped to gawk and take photos. I walked across a nearby bridge and 
approached from the other side. It flew away well enough, but it looked like 
some of its tail feathers were mussed up.

I observed something interesting this morning while walking my dog on Main 
Street in Freeville. I heard the food-begging call of a Cooper's Hawk coming 
from the front of a house just past a big hedge. I carefully peeked past the 
hedge and spotted the bird, a juvenile female Cooper's Hawk, sitting on the 
porch rail and facing the house. Perhaps it saw its reflection in the window 
and was calling to it. Anyway, it took off, flying across Main Street and 
disappeared between some houses along the creek. 




Last month, on December 6, I saw something similar—but this time it involved an 
adult female Cooper's Hawk and a juvenile male, which was following her around 
through the trees beside some houses and calling like the one this morning. I 
thought at the time that December seemed very late for a young hawk to be 
following its parent around, begging for food. I'd only heard that call before 
in the late spring and summer around Cooper's Hawk nests. 




Has anyone else heard Cooper's Hawk food-begging calls in the winter?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl near Treman Marina

[Nancy Cusumano]

I saw this bird yesterday, sitting in hogs hole on the ground, and then
later on a tree just at the point of hogs hole and treman marina. I looked
this morning but did not refind but agree he is probably around. I got 1
decent pic which is in ebrid. It is a heavily barred youngster.

sighting was yesterday; he looked for it today, but didn't see it. still
could be around, though!

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl near Treman Marina

[Allison Myers]

My brother, who works at Treman Marina at the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake 
in Ithaca, reports a sighting of a Snowy Owl along the lakeshore this morning.  
The owl may or may not be easily visible from the marina, as he says he only 
saw her/him after walking west along the lake shore (where the low water level 
has exposed some of the lake bottom) "until the large roadside ditch joins the 
lake," near the first house on Route 89.  He was able to get a decent 
cell-phone photo of the owl in flight, and another -- from a distance, but 
still recognizable -- of her/him sitting on the shore.
