RE: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

Screech owls whinnying now and the last couple of nights at my house in Endicott. I haven’t heard them in months. -jeff - Google Fi Mobile: +1(607)725-4493 From: bounce-120816812-14247...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-120816812-14247...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Geo

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Please get permission to see Booby from "Townline Road"

We took a trip up the lake this PM to try and see the bird. We went to the East side of the lake first - actually went down the private drive that Dave told us about ( called for permission first). It was late afternoon and the glare and shimmer was very bad. Could see birds on the buoy

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

Thanks to all the feedback and comments. Since the bird was perched rather than a flyover, seems like the best fit is a Eastern Screech Owl making (to me) an unusual version of its call. On Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Jeff Poulin wrote: > Screech owls whinnying now

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Please get permission to see Booby from "Townline Road"

I also saw the booby (finally) late this evening from Lower Lake Road — very distant but in nice evening sun. It stayed lying down on buoy 49 for the 30 minutes I watched it, identifiable by the dark, horizontal body, contrasting white belly sometimes visible, and long pointed bill and pale

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Please get permission to see Booby from "Townline Road"

Folks - a question about the Booby. Is it more easily seen from Lower Lake Rd. near Seneca Falls (west side of lake) or from the village of Cayuga (east side of lake). Or perhaps it depends on the bird's mood? (smile) Thanks for the help. Pete Saracino On 9/20/2016 11:29 PM, Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

Dear all, I hope it's ok to ask for ID help here. Between Sibley and the Lab of O's bird call recordings, I haven't been able to get a decent ID on a bird heard last night. The call was a long (1-2 s) descending *clear* whistle (not a whinny like a typical Eastern Screech Owl), starting on a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Please get permission to see Booby from "Townline Road"

The GPS coordinates I cited, 42.7,-76.72518, are of a green channel marker on the Google Maps aerial photo in the right direction from Talcott's place (aka Townline Rd) in the NW corner of Springport and in the right direction from Wolffy's near the south end of Lower Lake Rd near the SE

RE: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

I also last night heard a sound right outside of my bedroom window that I didn’t recognize at first. But, a bit later from the same tree came the more typical screech owl whinny, so am pretty sure it was the same bird. --Marty From: bounce-120815972-3494...@list.cornell.edu

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Please get permission to see Booby from "Townline Road"

I saw it from lower lake rd in afternoon. Very distant. Looks closer from townline road at least from my scope view. Lighting is good from lower lake rd in afternoon. Morning lighting would be tough from lower lake rd. On Sep 22, 2016 8:31 AM, "Peter" wrote: > Folks -

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

I’ll defer to the experts but would not rule out Screech-owl. I’ve heard that also: clear descending rather than whinny descending but followed by other EASO distinct sounds, so concluded it was the same bird. I’ve been hearing EASO loud whinnies just in the last couple of weeks, first time

Re: [cayugabirds-l] ID help? Whistling at night

Night before last, I heard several ascending whistle calls, right outside my door. The local Barred Owls responded with typical hooting, so I think the whistles were (still begging?) calls from their immature youngsters. -Geo Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 22, 2016, at 11:36 AM, Marty Schlabach
