Re: [cayugabirds-l] Woodcock/Owl Crawl Saturday Evening

Our group went to Dodge Road, where the woodcocks started later than when I scouted, but with enough light to be easily seen. After a few skydances, those with muck boots and binoculars took a few steps into the muddy field where I was able to get my spotlight on the bird on the ground. The

[cayugabirds-l] Size of Owl vs Pitch of Call

Thanks Alicia Plotkin for pointing this out: in spite of the fact that the female Barred Owl is larger than the male, the call of the male IS pitched lower than the female. So, from what I recall, it was the male that came in first to our playback followed a short time later by the female. It

[cayugabirds-l] Forster's Tern, Stewart Park

An adult FORSTER'S TERN was perched on driftwood just off the west end of Stewart Park a few minutes ago. It took off and foraged over the lake for a few minutes and is not in view at the moment but is probably still around. Quite a few Bonaparte's Gulls were visible farther out, as well as three

[cayugabirds-l] Ruby-crowned Kinglet

We had our FOY Saturday morning here, a very perky male. Radar through Sunday AM looks like we were descended upon! Hope the rain hold off for a bit as there should be many new birds. -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Rd Burdett, NY
