[cayugabirds-l] Rough-legged hawk near Sandbank Road
Here’s another sighting of a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK near the intersection of Sandbank and W. King Roads. This one was a light-phase individual that flew almost directly over my car at 11:45 this morning as I was driving north on W. King toward Upper Buttermilk State Park about 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Sandbank and W. King. It flew in a more or less westerly direction over the open field adjacent to this section of W. King. I turned around around and drove back toward and down Sandbank Road but was unable to relocate the bird.

[cayugabirds-l] Bluebirds in New York State
I am in the 4th year of my Ph.D. (at Syracuse University) and do research on how anthropogenic (human-caused) noise can influence communication in Eastern bluebirds, and thus influence how they choose their mates. Last summer we had great success collecting data throughout Central New York and found interesting patterns suggesting bluebirds sing differently and have different coloration in areas that are more affected by anthropogenic disturbance. I am writing because I am looking for more sites in New York state to conduct research this spring. Any sites with a minimum of 3-4 pairs of bluebirds would be usable (I am looking for both relatively disturbed and undisturbed sites). If you have any suggestions for sites (parks, wildlife refuges, trails, ect.), or have any questions, please email me (Ellen) at: emwis...@syr.edu. Thanks!

[cayugabirds-l] Northwoods Great Horned Owls, III
The GREAT HORNED OWLS are duet-ing again right now (6:05pm), albeit quite a bit further north than last night when they were about 20m off our balcony for a few moments at North Woods Apts. in Lansing. They ended up hooting continuously (within about 60m of building 16) until about 8:45pm and sporadically until at least 11pm last night.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens, OOB Northern Shrike, American Kestrel
In my travels for work today I found 2 COMMON RAVENS with a flock of AMERICAN CROWS in the town of Caroline in a corn field northwest of the intersection of Slaterville, Creamery, and Midline Roads; an immature NORTHERN SHRIKE slightly outside the basin, and slightly inside the town of Groton on Peruville Road opposite North Wood Road; and a male AMERICAN KESTREL in the town of Cortlandville, I suspect also just outside the basin, on NYS 222 opposite the east end of Old Groton Rd. --Dave Nutter -- 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 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
