Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-Tailed Hawk borealis vs abieticola subspecies Stevenson Road Game Farm Today

2021-01-25 Thread Matthew Young 
Nice, there's also been a nice abieticola Red-tail (they superficially
start to look a little like light morph Roughies IMO) around George Rd at
the location I first found the huge flock of Redpolls early last week.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red-Tailed Hawk borealis vs abieticola subspecies Stevenson Road Game Farm Today

2021-01-24 Thread Kevin J. Cummings 
Hi all,

On a related note, I saw a beautiful Rough-legged Hawk right up the road from 
this location yesterday around 4:00 PM.  It was flying high over the field at 
the corner of Game Farm Road and Ellis Hollow Road.

Stevenson Road Game Farm Today

All,

I spent some time watching the numerous RED-TAILED HAWKs on Stevenson Road over 
the Game Farm. Two subspecies (I believe) were present (see photos in ebird 
report).


https://ebird.org/checklist/S79764223

I noticed much darker markings on some RED-TAILED HAWKs which I believe are the 
abieticola subspecies or "northern" RED-TAILED HAWK. There were many with 
lighter markings which is the borealis subspecies that nests here and is our 
"eastern" RED-TAILED HAWK. This is kind of backwards since "boreal" usually 
means north!

In any event, this is a neat place to study RED-TAILED HAWKS since there are so 
many here!  I have seen a few abieticola subspecies in Broome County but there 
seemed to be at least several here.

There was also a large flock of EUROPEAN STARLINGs of which I found 4 
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS. They are not rare but neat to see in winter.  I also 
enjoyed seeing the many TURKEY VULTURES, again not rare here, but quite rare in 
Broome County in winter. I didn't see any BLACK VULTURES which are being seen 
here regularly.

I didn't go to the compost piles opting to stay on Stevenson road.
Best,
Dave Nicosia

I noticed much darker markings on some RED-TAILED HAWKs which I believe is the

In any event, this is neat place to study RED-TAILED HAWKS since there are so

seemed to be at least several here. 
There was also a large flock of EUROPEAN STARLINGs of which I found 4
