[cayugabirds-l] Hawk squirrel

At 0800, I was getting ready to head to work, when I saw one of our local RED-TAILED HAWKS swoop through our feeder area. It perched in a large willow nearby, getting nothing. Our yard crows were going ape; then suddenly it got very quiet-crows gone. I thought the hawk was too, but closer

[cayugabirds-l] Cornell Lane, 1/28

Hi All, After numerous failed attempts to see SNOW BUNTINGS on Mt. Pleasant I finally scored this morning at Cornell Lane.  There were about 200 Snow Buntings foraging very close to the road providing great looks.  I did not see any Horned Larks or Lapland Longspurs. Also, just to the south

[cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture

I was sitting in the parking lot just east of the Ithaca Mall when, at 9:23 this morning the first of nine vultures flew low overhead, from south to north. The third bird was a Black Vulture with distinct silvery tips to the wings and ah somewhat shorter tail. I assume that this was the

Wow. Perhaps the first perched Black Vulture ever reported in the CBasin. Bill E -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html

Re: [cayugabirds-l] CayugaRBA BLACK VULTURE perched 77

No, I had one perched near George Road a couple of years ago. It was admittedly less chaseable than this one, though, which is still visible as of this moment. Jay McGowan On Jan 28, 2011 12:00 PM, Bill Evans wrev...@clarityconnect.com wrote: Wow. Perhaps the first perched Black Vulture ever

[cayugabirds-l] desparate Red Tail

We have had a Cooper's Hawk buzzing the local feeder population for a couple of days, so when the feeder birds scattered about an hour ago, I looked out expecting to see the Coop finally successful. What I saw was a RED TAILED HAWK swooping by the kitchen window and flying away clutching a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] desparate Red Tail

Same thing happened to me a few days ago—a couple dozen Mourning Doves were in the yard, and they thumped against the house as the Red-tailed Hawk picked one off. I've had a Cooper's Hawk in the past as well. Elaina From: B Mcaneny bmcane...@fltg.netmailto:bmcane...@fltg.net Reply-To: B

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture

The BLACK VULTURE stayed in a large willow on the grounds of #86 Oakcrest (but best viewed from mailbox #77) for about an hour after I found it and immediately sent out the alert. During that hour I did one taxi run, returned to find Gary Kohlenberg and Jay Kevin McGowan soon joined by a guy

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture

My suggestion for tomorrow would be to hang out in the Mall parking lot - or the lot just to the east (behind what used to be the roller rink) from 8:15 on. Eyes on the sky to the south. This morning the BLAVUL came over low. Then follow it to whatever perch or hunting grounds it chooses
