[cayugabirds-l] Mallard x Northern Pintail hybrid, Myers Point

[Jay McGowan]

All,
Livia and I checked Myers Point this morning before work. The dabbler
concentration there was stunning, especially off the marina. Still no
shovelers or Blue-winged Teal, but the rest of the expected dabblers were
all in good numbers. Aythya and other divers are down, and no sign of the
Tufted. The clear highlight of the morning was a stunning male MALLARD X
NORTHERN PINTAIL HYBRID in the private marina. We watched it for a few
minutes before it and some of the ducks near it took off towards Ladoga. We
looked from there before we had to go and did not refind it, but it could
easily be among the hundreds of pintail and thousands of Mallards offshore.

Good way to see nest w/o getting in way of traffic or driving on grass: turn 
off Willow, right onto Pier. Take immediate left onto dirt rd. 
Drive behind BROWN utility bldg and park facing small assortment of carts & 
lawn grader, etc. 
look over long handle of orange rusty thing, up into trees to NW.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl Golf Course

[CFSchmitt]

Donna,
Thanks for very exacting directions.   That's always a big help.
   Lovely owl soaking up the sunshine in an old Red-tail nest, easy to see 
through the group of bare trees, northwest from the parking lot.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese overhead

[Anne Marie Johnson]

Just watched four Vs of Snow Geese overhead heading toward Ithaca, 
beautiful against the blue sky. I thought I spotted a very small goose in 
one of the flocks, but after getting the binocs, it turned out to be a blue 
phase whose darker wings blended in with the sky. All the rest of the geese 
were white.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl Golf Course

[Barbara Bauer]

I think the nest and owl can be seen from Cass Park too - from the backstop 
labelled B2, on the field between the skating rink and the inlet, look directly 
east. There's a group of three or four conifers, and then one conifer alone 
just to the right of the group. Behind that conifer is a reddish tree, and 
behind THAT tree is a taller tree.  The nest is high and a little to the right. 
 There's a white house on the hillside above it a little to the left.  

This is based on a binocular view, though, so salt is indicated.

Out first American Woodcock of the year began “peenting” tonight. Lots of 
calls, one “sky dance”, then quiet. Snyder Hill area. We’ve had as many as 
seven in the neighborhood before. Here’s hoping . . . .

Re: [cayugabirds-l] migration tonight

[Kenneth V. Rosenberg]

Lots of geese still coming over Ithaca now bit all  Canadas. In the late 
afternoon many flocks of 100-200 SNOW GEESE, totaling 2300, passed over 
Bluegrass Lane in NE Ithaca - I picked out a single, very all ROSS's  among the 
flocks.
