RE: [cayugabirds-l] Gary K. and R L hawks
Bill Shirley, Susie I stopped for lunch at Wolffys a couple weeks ago. We concur with your assessment. This is the old Marina's. There is a deck overlooking the lake, and of special interest to the Cornell folks, a full BAR. Service was excellent. S.

He said he was waiting for Gary, and did we know what was delaying him? We went on to Montezuma which started out quiet and got quieter as the rain started. Saw nothing unusual. Most ducks were Gadwall. Looked like a few GW teal at a distance. Some Coot up close. One Snow Goose among the Canadas. No small Canadas. More Snows visible from East Rd, incl. two blue phase. Maybe 100 total. Two Sandhill Cranes south of rte 31near the farm bldg. More Canadas and about 200 Tundra Swans. We did not spend much time looking, due to the rain. In summary, it seemed that most of the geese must have been lunching in the local cornfields. Probably morning or late afternoon would be more productive. Steve Fast might be interested to know that we ate at Wolffy's restaurant, on the lake right next to Cayuga Lake S.P. Nice atmosphere and good food.

ADMIN: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl???
Good morning, Regardless of whether a Snowy Owl is in or out of the drainage system for the Cayuga Lake Basin, or elsewhere in the immediately surrounding Finger Lakes Region, there are many subscribers on Cayugabirds-L, as well as readers online who are not active subscribers of this eList, who would appreciate sightings being reported on Cayugabirds-L. Please **do** post sightings of interest, even if birds are Out of Basin (OOB) to those who participate in the yearly David Cup birding competition (limited to the drainage system for the Cayuga Lake Basin). Cayugabirds-L is not limited to sightings in the Cayuga Lake Basin; instead, it simply has a *focus* on Cayuga Lake as well as the surrounding areas. Thanks and good birding!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl???
I reported the snowy owl as soon as I saw it, knowing many people would be interested. I could not tell if the bird landed on the roof and is staying at the mall or flew off over the thruway or to one of the many nearby fields. I tried to relocate it, but could not.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl???
I saw on Facebook that the snowy owl has been hanging out all week at the outlet mall. I live nearby, so I just went over to see if I could see him. I did! He was on the ground, eating something, in the open space by the thruway between the Rockport and Timberland stores. After a while he flew up to pole # 6 which is by some public restrooms and garbage dumpsters behind the Old Navy store. He hunkered down there. I could see his head, but probably I wouldn't have seen him if I hadn't known he was there. Then he flew again and landed on the Waterloo Premium Outlets sign. All right in the same vicinity. At that point, unfortunately I had to leave. But he's definitely there! Very exciting for me. My first snowy owl.

Re: ADMIN: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl??? (Cayuga Lake Basin defined)
I definitively will continue to share any unusual birds we see down here in the southern tier with this list... like the Loggerhead Shrike that a few of you got to see in 2010. Snowy Owl still has not be re-found at the Binghamton airport by the way. Good luck to you all. Take care.

(Cayuga Lake Basin defined) I agree with Chris T-H in welcoming reports from beyond the Cayuga Lake Basin, especially big, rare, easy-to-ID-from-a-respectful-distance birds like Snowy Owls, but also anything wild-bird-related which is unusual or interesting to you the writer/observer. I just want to set the record straight about the Cayuga Lake Basin: It is not just the land which drains into Cayuga Lake. It also includes some land immediately to the north of the Cayuga Lake drainage which drains north into the Seneca River instead of draining east into Owasco Lake or west into Seneca Lake. It also expands at the Seneca River, somewhat arbitrarily, east to just north of Weedsport and west beyond Waterloo and barely into Ontario County. It then extends north, in a more principled fashion, to include all the land which drains south into the Seneca River or Clyde River instead of draining directly north into Lake Ontario. As Bob McGuire noted, this is all on a map by Wiegand and Eames, botanists who published it in a textbook in 1926. The area they delineated encompasses the entire Montezuma Wetlands Complex as well as some interesting ponds especially to the west and a good chunk of the world-class drumlin field to the north. Those drumlins do screwy things to the drainage, though, and make the north border look pretty ragged. Wiegand and Eames were interested in plants, but ecology being what it is, a whole lot of cool birds show up in the basin as well. I wish I had a link to the actual map to provide here. By the way the Cayuga Lake Basin does not include the drainage of Seneca Lake, even though it is the source of the Seneca River, which flows into Cayuga Lake, nor, of course, the drainage of Keuka Lake, which flows into Seneca Lake. --Dave Nutter On Dec 28, 2011, at 10:21 AM, Chris Tessaglia-Hymes c...@cornell.edu wrote: Good morning, Regardless of whether a Snowy Owl is in or out of the drainage system for the Cayuga Lake Basin, or elsewhere in the immediately surrounding Finger Lakes Region, there are many subscribers on Cayugabirds-L, as well as readers online who are not active subscribers of this eList, who would appreciate sightings being reported on Cayugabirds-L.
