Re: [cayugabirds-l] Young fledgling Cedar Waxwings

[Gmail]

Hi All,
Just piggybacking on Geo’s e-mail.  I was walking on Baldhill Road, past where 
Station Road meets, going up to the pinnacles, when a raptor shows up.  I’m 
guessing it’s a Cooper’s hawk, but I don’t know raptors well.  It followed me 
when I went off the road to check out the stream, and ended up hopping up to me 
on a fallen log.  It was about 7 feet away, and not the slightest bit afraid of 
me.  Then I noticed each leg had a piece of triangular leather wrapped around 
it with holes for a string to go through.  So it was somebodies pet raptor.  
This was on Sunday and I’m sorry to have waited so long to post about it.  I’m 
assuming it was looking for a handout.  Has anyone been missing a pet hawk?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] First fall DE Junco 10/13/20

[Gmail]

Hi All,
I don’t really know how to use this list so I’m piggy backing on this email.  
We have a raven with a broken wing outside and the crows have discovered it.  
It’s walking around, and I don’t think I could catch it.  Anyone want to give 
it some help?  Otherwise we will just leave it be and let nature do its thing.  
I’m in Danby.

[cayugabirds-l] Eagle on Bald Hill

[Gmail]

Hi All,
This is a first for me, I’ve been a lurker for some time.  
As I was driving down Bald Hill in Danby, less than a mile from 96B, on the 
east side of the road was what I think is an immature Bald Eagle standing on 
what I think is a deer carcass.  I suppose it will return intermittently, as 
well as crows, and maybe ravens.  Just letting you know in case someone wants 
to keep an eye on it.
Stay warm!
Mary

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl at Hancock Airport

[gmail]

I took an unsuccessful lap around near sunset today, but I am decidedly 
amateurish at this.
On that note, I come from a background of photography ( but have a healthy 
desire to not disturb the wildlife). This list serve is great, but as someone 
who lives just east of Syracuse, it's not actionable given driving distances 
most days. I'd love to find a place nearby that i could visit with camera on a 
regular basis with a reasonable expectation of seeing something interesting. 
Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of a similar list for Onondaga 
county? The creek walk by the mall is ok but I've heard enough stories to be a 
little wary of taking high dollar camera equipment there regularly.
Thanks!
