[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls (No) and snow buntings, horned larks and lapland longspurs

?Hi All, Yesterday around 1.30 PM I took a spin around to look for Redpolls at Triphammer Terrace and Hillcrest Road in Lansing. I did not see any redpolls. I did not dare to watch the surrounding neighborhoods as it seemed like I would be staring into their houses. So I decided to go look

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Birding information

I guess you all are referring to the earlier posts of owls. If you read the title of the message and then the rest of the message itself will give you general idea of the locations. Of course the second one was about the residence hall, so that must pertain to some college or university. A

Re: [cayugabirds-l] many Longspurs, Tompkins/Cayuga Co border, 1 mi east of NYS-34B

?Initially when I saw RBA message from Bob, I thought I don't want to chase the birds. But when Ben reported 11 Lapland Longspurs, I thought I have not seen them in a long time, so I might as well go and look for them. I followed Dave's directions, but I think better road is Fenner ( a road

[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck continues visble near Hog Hole from Allan H Treman State Marine Park

?I should say I was lucky, finally I got to see the Tufted duck in few glimpses before it every time dived to eat something! Initially, I scanned the flocks but no luck. Joe Wing was standing nearby so I went to ask him if he had seen it recently. Then both of us almost simultaneously saw

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Screech-owl

Just in time when I was listening to a screech owl call on my computer! I was trying to identify what sounded to me like a Screech Owl from recordings of my recent Ecuador trip. I finally nailed it down as Choco Screech Owl Megascops centralis. It amazingly sounds like our screech owl, but only

I happened to be reading about Gyr Falcon on Genesee list and when I looked up there was a falcon flying in front of my window and by the size I think it was a Peregrine, may be the same one which was reported by Marty today morning. It headed straight towards the Vet Tower along Tower road
