[cayugabirds-l] Help Merlin nests

[John Confer]

In the last 5 years I have monitored 25 Merlin nests. Results are to be 
included in a poster for a professional Behavior conference. The accumulated 
data are used to help understand Merlin nesting biology.
Many of the nests were reported to me by others. I have followed up on every 
Merlin nest report to eBird for Tomplins County, thanks. I would appreciate any 
additional information.
I do not share the location of nests that can only be seen from private 
property.
Merlin are well adapted to human presence, sometimes even nesting over busy 
sidewalks, or bordering school playgrounds. Nonetheless, I do not share the 
location of nests until the adults are feeding young. By this time the adults 
are extremely unlikely to abandon a nest due to additional human presence.

ONLY IN ITHACA.  I was trying to verify a nest location this morning. I walked 
up to a viewing location carrying my scope on a tripod and binoculars around my 
neck (with my dog on a leash). As I walked up to a viewing spot for the 
probably nest, three people were getting out of a parked car and began 
gesturing upward. One turned toward me and asked if the pair of birds over 
their heads were Merlin. (Why they would ask me, I don't know.) Indeed, the 
female was plucking a small gray bird with a white abdomen and undertail 
coverts (but neither head nor tail because the male had helpfully partially 
plucked the bird for his mate. The feathers were dropping down to the sidewalk. 
As I watched the pair of birds waiting to see if either would fly to the 
putative nest, someone came out of a house with her daughter and asked if they 
could see the bird. Turns out she had a summer internship on a Spotted Owl 
project. Her higher pitched voice was better at attracting the owls than that 
of her supervisor, a point of some pride. While we watched the pair of birds 
another woman came down the sidewalk. She said she had seen the birds before 
and recognized that they were hawks. She thought they were smaller than 
red-tails and she planned to use her "Merlin app" to try to identify them. I 
admit there were two people who passed by with eyes averted as if ignoring this 
wierd person with a scope and tripod standing on the sidewalk. But really, 3 of 
5 groups of people who walked by knew about Merlin. Where else but Ithaca could 
you watch a pair of falcons and see the city downtown while standing on a busy 
sidewalk next to a busy street with 60% of the passerbys wanting to know more 
about the falcons? (See, I didn't tell you where the birds were.)
Incidentally, neither female nor male went to the putative nest in a half hour 
making me think that on this cold morning she had not begun to incubate.

John

[cayugabirds-l] Thermal Woodcocks

[Suan Hsi Yong]

Continuing with woodcock week: while scouting for this weekend's field
trip, I got the following thermal infrared footage of woodcock courtship
and, I believe, mating, followed by a celebratory skydance. Same video on
both facebook and youtube (quality may differ between the platforms, not
sure):

When is the woodcock and owl walk and is there registration needed?
