At about 3pm today there was a Short-eared Owl hunting the dunes and marshes 
near Triton Lane along Dune Road in Hampton Bays. A Great Egret was also in the 
bayside marsh adjacent to Triton Lane.

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared Owl, Randall's Island, Manhattan (NYC)

2018-11-22 Thread David Barrett
At 9:01 a.m. today I accidentally flushed a SHORT-EARED OWL from its nearby
perch on the rocky northeast shore of Randall's Island. It flew around the
bay, harassed by gulls, for a few minutes and then went out of sight.
Within five minutes it returned to perch on a large rock not far from me as
I stood on the shore, and it remained there for awhile in plain view. I
never saw it fly off, but it did go out of view, presumably choosing a more
concealed, lower position on the rocks. Not wanting to risk flushing it
again by searching, I moved on.

The species is ultra-rare for Manhattan, with the only eBird records being
several from morning migratory flight, 2009-2011. An observation from
Central Park, from either 1995 or 1996, is mentioned in this New York Times
article:

https://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/25/nyregion/central-park-is-a-festival-of-odd-birds-275-species-sighted-in-watchers-heaven.html

I also had a female BLACK SCOTER at the same location, rare for Manhattan
and not reported every year despite being common in the winter in other NYC
boroughs.

At 9:01 a.m. today I accidentally flushed a SHORT-EARED OWL from its nearby

Within five minutes it returned to perch on a large rock not far from me as
I stood on the shore, and it remained there for awhile in plain view. I
never saw it fly off, but it did go out of view, presumably choosing a more

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared Owl - Yes - EPCAL, Calverton, LI

2016-01-20 Thread Eileen Schwinn
Seen both yesterday late afternoon (5:20pm) and today (5:03pm), two Short-eared 
Owls, viewed from the northern blocked-off runway dirt access.  The birds were 
flying near the tree line, along the north eastern portion of the taxiway - 
eventually flying between our vantage point and the hanger buildings.  Clearly 
IDed by long, wide wings, light underside, erratic flight pattern, and dark 
"wrist" markings.  One bird evidently caught a small rodent, which it took to a 
near by shrub top.

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared Owl at EPCAL, Calverton, LI - Update

2014-12-31 Thread Eileen Schwinn
The previously reported Short-eared Owl has been seen the past two evenings - 
Monday and Tuesday - at the north-end grassy field of the unused western runway 
at EPCAL.  It was actively hunting at 4:00pm on Monday, and continued until 
4:50.  On Tuesday, it did not appear until after sunset, being well seen and 
clearly visible from 4:40-5:00pm.

The unused runways are now posted as closed to vehicles, however it is possible 
to walk the area, although that is not necessary to view the Short-eared Owl.  
Best views were from the runway barriers at the end of the short dirt road a 
few hundred feet (on the west) from the traffic light entrance(Route 25).

Happy New Year to All -

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared Owl - Coxsackie

2014-01-17 Thread James Coe
Again tonight – between 5:07 and 5:25pm  (when it became too dark to see)
one Short-eared Owl was foraging over the fields on the south side of Flint
Mine Rd, about ½ mile east of where it intersects 9W, in Coxsackie, just
south of the prison.

 

There was also a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk present in the same fields
just a bit earlier.   Probably the same bird that I observed in that same
location last weekend.

Today, a Short-eared Owl was observed flying at very casual height above
the tree canopy ~1 km south of the watch platform at Chestnut Ridge
Hawkwatch--just outside Mount Kisco, Region 9.  The owl was intensively
harrassed by 2 Common Raven while 2 American Crow waited on the wing
nearby and tracked the trio as they exited WSW at 9:20 EST.

With Fond Regards,

Hi all,
Presently a Short-eared Owl flying west high over Manhattan ~745AM,
headed toward midtown in the 50s, part of a nice morning flight
currently underway (many American Robins!).
Best,

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared owl - Dune Rd, Hampton Bays

2011-01-03 Thread Eileen Schwinn
A  short-eared owl was seen this evening, heading west and hunting,  
between the Town Fishing dock area and Tiana Beach Pavilion.  The  
bird was primarily on the bay side of Dune Rd., but did cross over to  
the ocean dune side occasionally.  I watched it between 5:00 and  
5:10pm, and last saw it, still in the air, just east of the road  
leading to the Old Ponquogue Bridge boat launch and parking area.
