[Daniel Graham]

Not exactly basin-related but here is an interesting new study on how
birders and non-birders organize knowledge about avian species:

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl?

[Daniel Graham]

Should have reported this earlier but on 10/23 at around 6:30pm I saw
a bird consistent with SHORT-EARED OWL on Townsendville Rd. near Fox
Rd. in Lodi, an area where they are seen in winter. It was late dusk
so I couldn't see coloration but it was the right size, lithe and
bulky. I think worth checking the area more at least.

[cayugabirds-l] Park Preserve Patrol seeking volunteers

[Daniel Graham]

I received a message today indicating that the Finger Lakes Land Trust
is recruiting volunteers for a hunting season patrol at the Park
Preserve to help ensure that hunters do not enter the property (also
for Steege Hill). Please contact Jason Gorman for more info:
jasongor...@fllt.org


> looking for volunteers who are interested in helping to patrol two nature
> preserves this fall.  We are required to patrol the Steege Hill Nature
> Preserve in Big Flats, and the Roy H. Park Preserve during the hunting
> season to make sure that people are not trespassing on the preserves, and
> also to help provide a place where people can feel comfortable hiking during
> the hunting season.  The Steege Hill Patrol has been well-run by volunteers
> for quite some time now, but we are always looking to recruit new
> patrollers.  At the Park Preserve, I am looking to create a new group to
> assist with this requirement.  If you are interested in helping at either
> one, please let me know and I can provide more information.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl Romulus (yesterday)

[Daniel Graham]

I realize this is too late to be of much use to folks but there was a
Snowy Owl on the ground affording great views about 50 yards south of
Yale Farm Rd in Romulus yesterday (11/30) at around 3:30pm:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/42.7912115,-76.870934//@42.7951606,-76.8710626,3575m/data=!3m1!1e3

This location has been a fairly reliable area to see Snowies in recent
years (but not last year). There were also thousands of Snow Geese on
the north side of the road yesterday.

This morning at 8 am there was no obvious owl and only a handful of
geese but I travel this way frequently and will report any other
sightings promptly.

There were also several thousand Snow Geese in flight a few miles

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl Rt 89

[Daniel Graham]

At around 5:30 tonight there was a Great Horned Owl in a tree very
close to Rt. 89 south of Rt 139 in (I think) Ovid.

Also lots of goose movement today near Geneva, including ~50 Snow
Geese moving due West, and hundreds of Canada Geese moving North in
formation.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawk

[Daniel Graham]

I had a COMMON NIGHTHAWK cruise over me at tree-top elevation in a big
gust of wind around 10:30AM today. It was being harried by what I
think were red-wing blackbirds. This was on Willow Creek Rd. in
Ulysses.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owls in Varick/Romulus

[Daniel Graham]

Yale Farm Rd. in Varick/Romulus (east of junction with Rt. 96a)
continues to be a good bet for SNOWY OWLS. On Monday around sunset,
the heavy streaked owl was in the middle of the farm field east of the
McGrane Rd. intersection (google tells me this is in Romulus). Being
so dark overall, the bird was quite conspicuous on the snow (it even
appears to be wearing a wool cap!).

This morning around 8am, an almost all-white individual was on a power
line right on Yale Farm Rd. about 1/4 mile east of 96a.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl in Varick

[Daniel Graham]

On a whim I returned to Yale Farm Rd. on the way home (~5:30pm). I
didn't see the all-white owl but on a telephone pole right at the
intersection of Yale Farm Rd. and McGrane Rd. there was a second very
heavily streaked SNOWY OWL affording outstanding views despite the low
light. Any with three owls is a good day!

[cayugabirds-l] Another Geneva area owl

[Daniel Graham]

The EASTERN SCREECH OWL (brown phase) that Jim Norwalk spotted on
Monday in a cavity in the roof of Durfee Hall on the HWS campus is
still present, though it is perched further inside the cavity. The owl
is in a missing soffit panel on the eastern eave of the Durfee
Residence Hall, facing Rosenberg Lab.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl in Geneva area

[Daniel Graham]

At 10:30 today there was a bright white SNOWY OWL west of Rt 96a,
south of Geneva in the farm field to the southwest of Larsen Rd., not
far from the gas well. This is almost the exact spot I saw my first
snowy owl last winter on Dec 3 (which stayed in the area most of the
winter, along with two others).

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Major fallout??

[Daniel Graham]

As I read this just now, one male Rose-breasted Grosbeak landed on the
window screen of our sunroom, then flew off.

 Also, I think I had a GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH pop in briefly.  It did not
 stay long, maybe 10 seconds.  I think it looked around and must have
 said to itself -- Where the heck am I?  This isn't where I wanted to be!!

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Rt 96a / Woodworth Rd. / Geneva (OOB)

[Daniel Graham]

After being absent for the past week, the SNOWY OWL near Rt. 96a in
Geneva is back as of this morning. It was about 100 yds behind #3579
Rt. 96a. For those making the trek, it's worth swinging by the Geneva
Yacht Club as well since there is a BALD EAGLE that is often soaring
in the vicinity (it was there yesterday around 4pm).

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Rt 96a / Woodworth Rd. / Geneva (OOB)

[Daniel Graham]

Spectacular views of the heavily streaked snowy owl a few minutes ago
on a utility pole at the junction of Rt. 96a and Woodworth Rd. in
Geneva. I first spotted the bird in the field east of Woodworth Rd.
and drove along with it as it glided a few feet off the ground before
it lighted on the pole. The same bird was present Monday afternoon on
the roof of the barn of the first house on Woodworth Rd. It seems to
be quite a regular customer in this area and is not shy about
affording close views. Truly a remarkable animal!

Snowy owl is again east of Rt. 96a, south of Woodworth Rd. near
Geneva. Bird is close to gas well, ~100 m from road, which would have
afforded excellent views if I hadn't forgotten my binoculars!

[cayugabirds-l] [OOB] Snowy Owl West of Rt. 96a Geneva / Larsen Rd.

[Daniel Graham]

As of 7:55AM Snowy Owl, presumably the same one David Diaz spotted
yesterday, is back near the same spot. Just now it was silhouetted
against the ridgeline quite far from the road, but beautifully
illuminated by the sun. Incidentally, I saw what I again presume was
the same bird back on Dec. 3 in this area--it appeared to have
substantial dark coloration then, but it was too far away to tell with
my small binoculars today. I have heard through the grapevine that a
Snowy was seen in this area in past years as well, so perhaps this is
the bird's vacation spot, so to speak.
