Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

To that point…

I don’t fully understand how a Gyrfalcon in winter (in the Lower 48), or any 
falcon in winter for that matter, is considered a “sensitive species” such that 
it gets blocked by eBird.

Snowy Owls actually make more sense to block over a Gyrfalcon, any day. Way too 
much stress is put on them, at least for those which show up closer to more 
densely populated cities.

Any thoughts on changing Gyrfalcon in eBird? Reasons?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Chris

[cayugabirds-l] CBC field trip Sunday January 21

[Diane Morton]

Ken Kemphues and I will lead a half-day Cayuga Bird Club field trip this
Sunday, January 21. We will meet at Stewart Park (east end) at 8:00 am and
plan to return at 12:30 pm.

We'll look at waterfowl along the southern end of Cayuga Lake and also
drive to look for winter field birds such as Horned Larks and Snow Buntings
in the Lansing and King Ferry areas. Bring a scope if you have one. Although
it will be warmer on Sunday than it has been, wear warm layers as it can be
quite cold next to the lake.

All are invited to join us on this trip regardless of experience level or
membership status. If you are a beginner and need to borrow binoculars,
please contact Diane at dianegmor...@gmail.com ahead of time (two pairs
available).

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Buntings and west shore of Cayuga

[khmo]

Within two miles of home here in the SW corner of the basin we had three
large flocks of buntings, one in excess of 200 birds. Photo on our FB
page. Horned Lark flocks nearby were also large. Had a Rough-legged
other falcons. At Seybolt and Martin Rds we had a hen Harrier sitting in
the field for over two hours. 

The lake had a large abundance of Redheads, Ring-necked, Goldeneye,
Bufflehead, Red-breasted Mergs, Tundra Swans from Interlaken northward
to Wyers Point where we had two Red-necked Grebes and a first winter
White-winged Scoter. North of there to the ice line south of Canoga was
dull and almost bird free.

[cayugabirds-l] Waterfowl East Shore Park Ithaca and North Mill Pond Union Springs

[David Nicosia]

All,

Had some time today so decided to leave frozen Broome County with Dan
Watkins
and check out some waterfowl along Cayuga Lake. We didn't have much time
so we focused on East Shore Park Ithaca and North Mill Pond Union Springs
where
awesome views of waterfowl were possible.

East Shore Park had rafts of Aythya very close mostly REDHEAD, with several
GREATER and LESSER SCAUP sprinkled in here and there. Another highlight was
5 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS distant.

North Mill Pond had mostly REDHEADS, one RING-NECKED DUCK, AMERICAN WIGEON,
GADWALL, female PINTAIL, HOODED MERGANSER, 2 TRUMPETER SWANS, BLACK DUCKS,
MALLARDS, and BUFFLEHEAD. We also had a PEREGRINE FALCON fly over the ducks
and they didn't flush which was strange. It landed in a tree and we got
good looks at this bird and made sure it wasn't a gyr.

We got great looks at mostly common birds and this was very gratifying as
waterfowl have become scarce in Broome with all the ice...

Best,
Dave

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Waterfowl East Shore Park Ithaca and North Mill Pond Union Springs

[khmo]

Dave, Do you have an approximate time on your Peregrine?, Location? We
were on the other side of the lake when flight after flight of panicky
geese cam flying up lake and over land. We were in the vicinity of
Dean's Cove when that happened.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

[Nicholas Kachala]

The reason that species are blocked and hidden as "sensitive" in eBird
could be from a multitude of reasons. In terms of the Gyrfalcon, it is a
bird at risk for capture and trade by falconers. Exposing the location of
such a prized species through public records could spell trouble for the
bird. Yes, this gives birders a disadvantage, but the hope is that it saves
birds from danger. Many endangered species, especially in Asia and South
America are blocked as sensitive to protect them from the illegal pet bird
trade.
