I was just standing on my back porch having a cigarette, when a small owl
swooped in and banked away about five feet from me. Appeared light
underneath, so I'm leaning toward Saw-whet owl for the ID (but I can't be
sure). That was amazing. I had a Northern saw-whet owl here (main street in
Tburg)
Just wanted to add that I first saw the gyrfalcon at 3 PM (thanks to the couple
parked on Stahl Rd with a scope set up on it). It quickly flew south to land on
the east side of Seybolt Rd (nabbing a duck dinner on it’s way) about 200 yards
south of Stahl Rd. It stayed there for about 20
At my feeders today there are at least five common redpolls.

Hello all,
Once again, Sapsucker Woods walks for this upcoming weekend, February 28
and March 1, will be cancelled due to AM temps predicted to be below
zero. Hopefully this is the last time this winter that these Cayuga Bird
Club led walks need to be called off.. Please check our calendar at
While sitting at the light at the corner of State and Fulton Streets I saw
a Raven flying not much higher that the nearby buildings east towards the
center of downtown. I see Ravens in many places at this point, but this
is the first time I've seen one right in downtown Ithaca.

An absolutely gorgeous YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER male just came to one of
our peanut feeders. Doubtful this is a migrant, since our first
sightings don't occur until April.

As I was driving down Rt 89 this morning, it looked like the lake had flash
frozen overnight. There was no wind, and a dead flat lake. Anyone have any
other observations?

the top of a tall tree approximately behind Kelly's Dock-Side.

As Nancy suggested, the southern part of Cayuga Lake apparently experienced
another large-scale freezing event last night or yesterday. The main ice
edge, which had remained near the dentist's office on East Shore Drive, is
still present, but this morning thin ice extended uniformly north of the
What a wonderful article! I wonder if our Cornell crow experts have heard of
such behavior around here. It just shows how smart crows really are.

I checked the west side of Cayuga Lake today. Taughannock was mostly
ice-bound, as was Sheldrake south of the point. Open water north of the point,
but scoping found only lots of RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS. Poplar Beach was
good--open water and scoping from one point only, I counted 22
The Gyrfalcon was on Seybolt Rd (south of Seneca Falls) around Stahl Rd. It was
first perched north of the large barns on Stahl Rd, but flew south along
Seybolt. I was able to see it capture a Mallard in mid-air and start feasting
on it. A red-tail hawk took over the kill, soon to be followed
