[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Highlights

2017-01-29 Thread Sandy Wold 
I walked through the woods along Fall Creek to the Boat House and along the
shore of Stewart Park.  I saw Common Mergansers and heard a kingfisher
along the creek.  I saw two cormorants out on a log, far out; and then what
I thought might have been two grebes, but they were dabbling far out.  They
came closer, and I could see dark markings as a cap and eyeline, body brown
like a female mallard, tail had black on the upper side, legs orange, lower
mandible yellow.  I'm still not sure what they were.  any suggestions?
juvenile BLACK DUCKS?

There were many geese and gulls, as usual.  Then I had a nice surprise: two
swans very close to shore, bathing, then standing.  They were twice as big
as the Canada geese nearby.  I could not see any yellow lore and their
heads/necks/wings looked very dirty, so I'm thinking juvenile TRUMPETER
SWANS?  If anyone can verify or correct me, that would be great!  Thanks.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Barred Owl

2017-01-29 Thread rachelhogancamp810 
I saw three of the four of them last weekend. There were a few other folks 
around watching them as well. Haven't had the chance to get back this week.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Barred Owl

If you are referring to those seen around the Finger Lakes Airport and the Lott 
Farm, yes.  Yesterday, Saturday,  we saw a snowy owl  atop of the grain bins at 
the Lott Farm along rt 414, the tall bins that are at the front of the Empire 
Farm Days grounds.

It is fun to show them to others in my scope, along the boardwalk. Sometimes 
they're so close to b'walk you don't need a scope.

[cayugabirds-l] Short eared owl

2017-01-29 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
Having been unable to attend CBC field trip Sat morn, I was able to drive 
around N Lansing/S Cay.  County looking for larks & buntings etc. late 
afternoon Sat.
Mostly struck out, seeing only a couple RT Hawks, a few CA Geese & 1 MODO! (& a 
few chickens).
At dusk I ended up well east of Aurora so decided to drive west on rural roads 
& try Long Pt St Pk Rd by winery.

After ~10 min. wait down hill 100' from farm house I was rewarded with a nice 
flyover of a Short Eared Owl!
It swooped around in front of me then flew SE out of sight.
Only one I saw.
