[cayugabirds-l] More Snow Geese depart
More Snow Geese are passing south out of the basin on this morning's brisk tail wind. I don't expect to see them circle back.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] More Snow Geese depart
Last night about 1015pm as I was shoveling my sidewalk one last time before going to bed, I heard geese overhead. They were fairly low, and not particularly going south. I don't know why they were wandering around in the low clouds lit up by Ithaca's street lights. Mostly they were Canadas, but I also heard a group of SNOW GEESE, so we now at least have that species for count week in case they all depart before Tuesday.--Dave NutterOn Dec 30, 2012, at 09:40 AM, Geo Kloppel geoklop...@gmail.com wrote:More Snow Geese are passing south out of the basin on this morning's brisk tail wind.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] More Snow Geese depart
Hi all, I too heard Canada Geese around 2.00 am at night. After reading Geo's post, I looked out for geese from my house and did not find any at all. Day before yesterday (Friday) after Dave's post about Snow Geese downtown, I went to look for them and not a single I could find. But I did find lots of Canada on water, including all the birds Dave reported earlier. Then I went in search of some winter birds. On Lake Ridge road, I found hundreds of DE Juncos, Tree sparrows and a Mockingbird feeding on the road. I did not get chance to scan them for other species of sparrows as they were skittish and flew into bushes as I cruised. At Atwater road, I turned on left as I had never driven on this road and found it to be an interesting road, I found two cardinals and a few Blue Jays. Then I continued on 34 B north and 90 east to Genoa and back on 34 south to Ithaca. Nothing else much except somewhere past Locke I saw a Rough-legged hawk dashing across the field. On the way I did see four Red-tailed Hawks, three American Kestrels. One interesting thing I noticed was lots of trucks entering and leaving salt company and all along the roads. I was wondering why I am seeing so many trucks. Then I realized that this is the first time I have driven on these roads on week-days and that may be the reason why I saw so many trucks. Is it true?

[cayugabirds-l] OT...Salt and other trucks
Meena and others : for a few months now, many salt trucks go in and out of the Cayuga/Cargill salt mine In South Lansing. They take road salt from here to many other places in New York and Pennsylvania and maybe beyond . also in this region, Rt 34B probably 34, we have a lot of Large garbage trucks, which no doubt go from downstate New Jersey to Seneca Meadows landfill back. they go this way to avoid Thruway tolls.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] has anyone seen Red-shouldered hawk this season in winter?
I think the Red-shouldered Hawk was not found at Sapsucker Woods last winter (2011-12). There are eBird reports from winter 2010-2011, but nothing in 2011 after an immature which Jay saw migrating in mid-November. In 2012 there are only eBird reports for Red-shouldered Hawk from Sapsucker Woods between the beginning of March (migrants) and August. I believe Red-shouldered Hawk was not found on the 1 January 2012 Ithaca Christmas Bird Count, and the first 2012 basin record of which I'm aware is January 29 in Caroline.--Dave NutterOn Dec 30, 2012, at 09:09 AM, Meena Haribal m...@cornell.edu wrote:Hi all,I was curious to know if anyone has seen the wintering Red-shouldered hawk this season.

[cayugabirds-l] Bird hawk heaven
Yesterday we had a juvenile Coopers hawk hunting (unsuccessfully) at our feeders. He had not honed his craft and positioned himself poorly (he/she, that is). We have a mature sharpie that is much more polished (posted about him before). Just a few minutes ago we had a kestrel strike, followed by a war with several crows, who briefly ran off the perp. and tried to abscond with the meal. The kestrel rallied and dove back in and airlifted his dinner much to the dismay of the thugs! We are at 30 Torok Road in Groton.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow shoveling pays
About 2 p.m. I went to fill a feeder but had to shovel to get to it. As I stopped to rest I glanced up saw an adult BALD EAGLE flying westward towards the lake, almost overhead, slightly southward! Nice treat! Several HOUSE FINCHES, about 30 GOLD FINCHES, 8 or 10 C. REDPOLLS have been chowing down fighting over sunflower niger seeds at the feeders here by the house. Backlighting keeps me from identifying all that are up at the hill feeders a lot are there. Lots of house sparrows, for sure. I heard several gunshots while I was outside. Haven't seen any geese today only a wee flock yesterday.

They were east of the red lighthouse.At dawn this morning I went to the southwest corner of the lake wondering what I could ID before the gunning started. With today's clouds and snowfall, the answer is nothing. The first fusillade was at 7:09am. There were two parties along the lakeshore at Treman and a guy out on the lake lying on a very low flotation device, eachwith flocks of snow-covered decoys, and a small boat with a couple guys near the docks further north than I was. I also heard shots from the east and northeast. I stayed for an hour.
