[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl

Today early morning may be around 5.00 am of so, I was awake and I heard the googdoodoo goog do of a Great Horned Owl. So stuck my nose to window and listened for it. It called four more time. Call seemed to be from far away, but don't know how far. Probably it was in the Six mile Creek woods

[cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant Snow Buntings

For the past few days I have been seeing two different flocks of Snow Buntings on Mt Pleasant: one flock of 8 or 9 birds is usually at the edge of the road where there is exposed vegetation in which they forage, the other flock of more like 20-25 birds is usually in flight over the fields. And the

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Northern Pintail

A/The male NORTHERN PINTAIL was in the flock of REDHEADS off the ice out from the main pavilion at Stewart Park at 3pm today (15 January). He looked very jaunty - tall and lean and rakish - in that conservative crowd. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/C

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Bradfield peregrine

I can confirm (binocular view) the PEREGRINE FALCON atop Bradfield at 4:45pm this evening. The falcon (in multiple daily views since Tuesday this week) prefers to perch at the highest possible point on the southeast corner, although I once also saw it on the highest possible northwest corner. I ha

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bradfield peregrine

I am not denying any reports of a Peregrine Falcon on Bradfield Hall, but I would note that it is not the only raptor to perch on it. Yesterday I saw a RED-TAILED HAWK perched on the northwest corner of the roof of the building and also on an antenna very near that same corner. In the past I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bradfield peregrine

It's interesting that the Peregrine over at Cornell was seen around 5, because over here at Ithaca College, there was a Peregrine circling and chasing after a small flock of birds above the outdoor track around 5:10. It ended up cruising off to the west. Although this could have been the same

[cayugabirds-l] Hermit Thrush lingers in Sapsucker Woods

Here's everything I'm aware of after New Year's Day, plus one species that got moved all the way back to New Year's Day. ... 05 or 06? Jan HERMIT THRUSH by Wes Hochachka in Sapsucker Woods (which town?) I relocated this bird on Wednesday (13 January). It was at the little bridge on

[cayugabirds-l] Bradfield peregrine

Probable peregrine on top of SE corner Bradfield Hall at 4:55pm. No binoculars, so I couldn't be absolutely certain. Ray -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cay

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull

There was a single GLAUCOUS GULL on the ice edge in the SE corner of the lake among the black-backed, Herring, and Ring-billed Gulls. Until an ice fisherman arrived at 8:30 and chased them away. The two Long-tailed Ducks were also visible from the marina. Bob McGuire -- Cayugabirds-L Lis
