Marie Read just called in that 25 BOWAs were seen in the woods north of the
lab by her a few minutes ago.
I don't have a more accurate location.

[cayugabirds-l] Good Morning for Birds

2013-04-04 Thread Pete M. Marchetto
I, too, have now seen the flock of Bohemian Waxwings at the corner of Sapsucker 
Woods Rd near Rt. 13. When I was there, they were about due SW from the curve 
of the road, and about 10 m away from it.
I got the info on the flock early, when I stopped to talk to Kevin McGowan 
about a Peregrine Falcon that had overflown me near the Frog Barn, 91 Sapsucker 
Woods Rd. It flew from E to W, across the road to the area near the western 
gate to the preserve.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Bohemian Waxwings

2013-04-04 Thread Anne M. Johnson
The waxwings are currently on Sapsucker Woods Road between 13 and Kip's Barn. 
Right now there's a large batch of cars marking the spot and a few scopes on 
the birds. They are pretty far into the thicket at eye level in a mixed flock 
(both Cedars and Bohemians), sometimes flying in and out of a nearby pine. They 
are very active. With some patience, you can get good looks with binoculars or 
scopes.

[cayugabirds-l] Bohemian Waxwing viewing

2013-04-04 Thread Scott Haber
Just a reminder that it's probably not a great idea to stand in the middle
of Sapsucker Woods Rd. with your back to the traffic coming off of Route 13
and around a blind curve (especially as a sizable group), while trying to
get a look at the waxwings. I believe there's plenty of room on the
shoulder or just off it on the grass to view them.

[cayugabirds-l] First C. Loon Great Gully Eagle nest

2013-04-04 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Off former Union Springs Castelli's Marina I saw our 1st C. LOON for this 
spring. I also saw the BALD EAGLE nest in a tall tree west of Great Gully Rd. 
along the lake shore. Saw no bird in that nest but believe an eagle was in a 
tree farther south near what appears to be another nest. Not certain about 
either. There is no other place that I know of to see the nest other than 
either side of the white farm house across from the state marker. I do not 
recommend driving on the private roads.

Our ospreys on No. One Rd. have added a fair pile of sticks on their platform 
despite the wind. I saw them both on Mon. really hunkered down, faces to the 
west wind, looking miserable  cold.

Saw my 1st song sparrow this a.m.. Female N. FLICKER was at the suet again. 
Nice to see the kestral near Half Acre.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl

2013-04-04 Thread bob mcguire
Much to my surprise, there was a Short-eared Owl perched on a fence  
post along my driveway as I headed out this noon. It sat there calmly  
while I took pictures from about 30m away. Eventually it dropped to  
the ground and remained there until I flushed it several hours later  
when going to look for pellets. This is well up on Snyder Hill Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Gully Rte 90 ... Eagle nest

2013-04-04 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Should have put that the eagle nest is seen from Rte. 90 at Great Gully Rd. 
where I parked  then walked north about 200 ft. to set up my scope. I also 
parked by the guard rail a bit south of the white farm house for another view.

[cayugabirds-l] Barn Swallows

A friend of mine, Tim Dorn, lives on the west side of the lake, by Buttonwood 
Winery, and has Barn Swallows nesting on his dock every year. A few of the 
early arrivals were back on Monday the 1st hawking some unseen insects. I don't 
know if they had been reported yet.
