Re: [cayugabirds-l] Seeking info for Basin First Records list

[Jay McGowan]

Hi Dave,
The Fayette Gyrfalcon was indeed seen on January 1st by Drew Weber, Cullen
Hanks, and Ash Ferlito, as well as by other observers later in the morning.
I tried for it without success several times on Jan. 2nd, and it has not
been reported to my knowledge since the 1st. Nevertheless, it is still
definitely a different individual from the Ithaca bird by virtue of
plumage. As far as I know, the immature at the Reynolds Game Farm has also
not been seen again since Sunday Jan. 3rd, despite many checking the area.
I did find a female HOARY REDPOLL in the redpoll flock around the NW corner
of the pheasant pens at the game farm today around noon, as well as a
COMMON GRACKLE in the starling flock, both species we missed for the Ithaca
CBC. The two BLACK VULTURES were still present with Turkey Vultures near
the compost piles as well.

[cayugabirds-l] Seeking info for Basin First Records list

[Dave Nutter]

Hi All,

Does anyone know whether the Gyrfalcon, which is often seen on N Hoster Rd in 
Fayette, was seen on January 1, 2, or 3 this year? I know it was seen as late 
as December 28. 

Here’s why I ask: There’s a long tradition of keeping an annual list of first 
records for the Cayuga Lake Basin. For a number of years I’ve been doing that. 
Past years’ lists are on the Cayuga Bird Club website, and the start of this 
year’s list should also be up soon, with Paul Anderson’s help. 

As you may know, on January 3 a Gyrfalcon was seen near Ithaca. The question 
for me is whether this was the first day the species was found this year, or 
whether the bird from the Canoga area was also seen that same day or earlier. 
If you have info as to when, where, and by whom it was seen, please let me know 
off list. Thanks!
