This owl has been around for over a year.I have mating GHOW nest in nearby BBA 
(was told by resident) after mating season.I have not seen this owl with 
mate.Unfortunately, haven’t posting site or photos of this owl because of 
problems with photographers.I was just harassed by trespassing photographer 
this past week- less than a half mile from this site.Linda Scrima

Hi Larry and all,

That is certainly a striking looking owl and a candidate for B. v. subarcticus 
(=wapacuthu in much 20th Century literature).

Salzman (1998, in "Bull's Birds of New York State") cites three specimens of 
Subarctic Great Horned Owl in NYS, from Erie, Bronx, and Suffolk Counties, and 
mentions specimens from NJ and CT as well.

In case you are considering writing this up for NYSARC and/or The Kingbird, 
note that the date of the old Bronx specimen (AMNH 144845) is given as 15 Feb 
1910 by Salzman, but as 15 Feb 1919 by Parkes (who directly examined the 
specimen, in his 1952 Cornell PhD dissertation).

Saturday, Justin Muratore and I located the FEHA on Onion Ave at 8:30 am.  The 
bird circle the field and perched in a tree very close to the road.  It offered 
amazing looks before heading East over the tree line towards Celery Ave.

The more amazing bits of the day, for me at least, was the adult subarcticus 
Great Horned Owl.  This subspecies as far as I can tell hasn’t been in the 
lower 48 outside of MN.  The bright with GHOW stood out like a sore thumb.  We 
sat there on the side of the road waiting for the line of speeding cars, 
heading off the the next FEHA sighting, to pass and then we just had this quiet 
moment watching this unreal visitor from the north.

Photos of the owl, and hawk, can be seen here :

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ferruginous Hawk and another state first

2021-01-25 Thread Larry Scacchetti

Damn, unfortunately there are no ebird choices for ssp of GHOW other than
magellanic, so my info was solely of hawk watchers and owl banders.  I also
don’t know the sites to look up records from the early 1900’s.  Thanks for
all the info everyone!

there are at least two extant specimens of *B.v. wapacuthu* from
massachusetts, and apparently there was quite a "flight" of these in

2021-01-25 Thread Shaibal Mitra

Hi Larry and all,

That is certainly a striking looking owl and a candidate for B. v. subarcticus 
(=wapacuthu in much 20th Century literature).

Salzman (1998, in "Bull's Birds of New York State") cites three specimens of 
Subarctic Great Horned Owl in NYS, from Erie, Bronx, and Suffolk Counties, and 
mentions specimens from NJ and CT as well.

In case you are considering writing this up for NYSARC and/or The Kingbird, 
note that the date of the old Bronx specimen (AMNH 144845) is given as 15 Feb 
1910 by Salzman, but as 15 Feb 1919 by Parkes (who directly examined the 
specimen, in his 1952 Cornell PhD dissertation).

[nysbirds-l] Ferruginous Hawk and another state first

2021-01-25 Thread Larry Scacchetti

Saturday, Justin Muratore and I located the FEHA on Onion Ave at 8:30 am.
The bird circle the field and perched in a tree very close to the road.  It
offered amazing looks before heading East over the tree line towards Celery
Ave.

The more amazing bits of the day, for me at least, was the adult
subarcticus Great Horned Owl.  This subspecies as far as I can tell hasn’t
been in the lower 48 outside of MN.  The bright with GHOW stood out like a
sore thumb.  We sat there on the side of the road waiting for the line of
speeding cars, heading off the the next FEHA sighting, to pass and then we
just had this quiet moment watching this unreal visitor from the north.

Photos of the owl, and hawk, can be seen here :

Good birding,
