Eastern Screech owl continued for another an hour or so calling intermittently, then probably I fell asleep. In the morning I was worried all my moths would be gone. To my surprise there were a lot more Catocala spp. than ever I have seen. I counted 17 of them sprinkled on both sides of the

We were awakened last night at 11:30 by a screech owl nearby repeatedly giving its whinny call and sometimes its little hoots. We heard it for about 10 minutes and then only stillness. What a pleasant surprise. Regi West Hill in the City -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

To follow up on Dave's thorough but modest summary of our dike walk yesterday, I thought I would share a few of my and Livia's sightings from the weekend. We went up to Montezuma on Saturday afternoon, spent the evening there, camped at Cayuga Lake State Park, and joined the group for the walk out

I have screech-owl that sounds like it's just next to he house. It stardusts calling at precisely 5:30am the last three mornings that i've taken note. I also hear it in the evening, but not as regularly as in the am. Its expertly controlled tremolo just gets me. what a way to start the day,

I arrived there at 3:30. Super lighting! Both Black-bellied and Golden Plovers were there - more than one of each. Both Hudsonian Godwits remained. I saw Stilt Sandpipers and Pectoral Sandpipers plus Dowitcher species. There were many peeps, but they were too far away for me to find any

Sadly, circumstances prevented me from attending yesterday's dike walk, but today's list of 15-16 shorebirds was still a great haul, considering only 2 pairs of eyes and not 30. Most significantly, we missed the flock (!) of White-rumped Sandpipers mentioned in yesterday's report. After leaving
