RE:[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Screech-Owl
The screech-owl was in the tree cavity opening again this morning. Last year it seemed to most frequently appear in the opening when it was sunny, so I was skeptical this morning, but it was there. Thanks, Dave, for reminding us about this owl! The cavity is about half way up a tree at the back edge of the parking lot on the left side of the Dandy Mart on Rt. 79 in the village of Slaterville Springs (in the town of Caroline). If you don't see a dark cavity, then the owl is probably in the opening, well camouflaged. The cavity faces the parking lot and is easily seen from one of the parking spaces on the left side of the building.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Screech owl continued and other birds
Eastern Screech owl continued for another an hour or so calling intermittently, then probably I fell asleep. In the morning I was worried all my moths would be gone. To my surprise there were a lot more Catocala spp. than ever I have seen. I counted 17 of them sprinkled on both sides of the sheet including at least five species, one of which was new to me. Black Walnuts seem to host for the most of the species and I do have plenty of them, thanks to the squirrels. While I was photographing moths a large group of BOBOLINKS flew overhead in the fog. The flight continued for at least five minutes or so. Here is a link to the moths https://www.flickr.com/photos/91426175@N00/sets/72157647048828286/ These species should bring more insect eating birds to my garden, of course if they are not poisonous. Or at least some birds might have evolved to feed on these caterpillars.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Screech-owl
Great account, Chris! And a funny ending. We had a Eastern Screech whinnying outside our window last night, much closer than it's usually been. We all had a good listen, but no stalking attempts here. This morning as I left the house at 7am, a Northern Harrier was cruising the fields at the intersection of E Miller and Nelson Rds in Danby.
