[cayugabirds-l] Escaped sun conure
Hi all, On Lincoln St just west of the intersection with Short St there is an escaped sun conure squawking from the top of a Norway spruce. Its owners are in the side yard. There was a man with a directional microphone recording the bird in the front yard. I didn't realize the bird's owner and the man with the recorder weren't aware of each other until the man had left. I bet he was confused. Just thought I'd make the connection. I hope the bird comes down. Maybe playback would help?

[cayugabirds-l] Morgan rd SEOWs, n. shrike, and harrier
This afternoon John Confer, Julia Gillis, Michaela TerAvest, and I drove up to the NYSDEC office on Morgan rd. in the Montezuma complex and had wonderful views of no fewer than 5 short-eared owls gliding and careening over the fields. We also saw a harrier and a strike in a shrub in the field. We had a great time, and I highly recommend making the trip!

[cayugabirds-l] Hurd Rd. Saw Whet
Last night around 11:00 while out observing migrating amphibians I heard a saw whet owl calling north of Hurd Rd. just west of the top of the hill. Way better than any basketball game, in my opinion!

[cayugabirds-l] killdeer
Saw/heard my first killdeer of the year at the corner of 366 and Game Farm. It was in the field southwest of the intersection. It's feeling more and more like spring!

[cayugabirds-l] questions about the pheasant farm
Hello list, I have a couple questions about the Reynolds Game Farm, which I see every day out my back window. A few days ago I was running on Stevenson Rd and I noticed someone next to the game farm fence swinging a whistle on a string over his/her head. Does anyone know what the person was up to? And I am sure this has been discussed before, but are the red tailed hawks attracted by the pheasants or by rodents attracted by the pheasant food? I have witnessed them eating pheasants, and I occasionally find a pheasant body part in my backyard, but I'm wondering why they don't just clean house? I often see them sitting on the fence alongside pheasants. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Flat Iron Rd Caroline, construction?
I heard that it is a DOT wetland mitigation project, but I'm not positive.
