[cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens, OOB Northern Shrike, American Kestrel

2010-01-20 Thread Dave Nutter
In my travels for work today I found 2 COMMON RAVENS with a flock of AMERICAN 
CROWS in the town of Caroline in a corn field northwest of the intersection of 
Slaterville, Creamery, and Midline Roads; an immature NORTHERN SHRIKE  slightly 
outside the basin, and slightly inside the town of Groton on Peruville Road 
opposite North Wood Road; and a male AMERICAN KESTREL in the town of 
Cortlandville, I suspect also just outside the basin, on NYS 222 opposite the 
east end of Old Groton Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] Northwoods Great Horned Owls, III

2010-01-20 Thread Ryan Douglas
The GREAT HORNED OWLS are duet-ing again right now (6:05pm), albeit quite a
bit further north than last night when they were about 20m off our balcony
for a few moments at North Woods Apts. in Lansing. They ended up hooting
continuously (within about 60m of building 16) until about 8:45pm and
sporadically until at least 11pm last night.

Good birding,
Ryan

[cayugabirds-l] Bluebirds in New York State

2010-01-20 Thread Ellen Wisner
I am in the 4th year of my Ph.D. (at Syracuse University) and do
research on how anthropogenic (human-caused)
noise can influence communication in Eastern bluebirds, and thus
influence how they choose their mates.  Last summer we had great
success collecting data throughout Central New York and found
interesting patterns suggesting bluebirds sing differently and have
different coloration in areas that are more affected by anthropogenic
disturbance.  I am writing because I am looking for more sites in New
York state to conduct research this spring.  Any sites with a minimum
of 3-4 pairs of bluebirds would be usable (I am looking for both
relatively disturbed and undisturbed sites).  If you have any
suggestions for sites (parks, wildlife refuges, trails, ect.), or have
any questions, please email me (Ellen) at: emwis...@syr.edu.

Thanks!
Ellen

[cayugabirds-l] Rough-legged hawk near Sandbank Road

2010-01-20 Thread Lindsay Goodloe
   Here’s another sighting of a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK near the intersection of 
Sandbank and W. King Roads.  This one was a light-phase individual that flew 
almost directly over my car at 11:45 this morning as I was driving north on W. 
King toward Upper Buttermilk State Park about 1/4 mile north of the 
intersection of Sandbank and W. King.  It flew in a more or less westerly 
direction over the open field adjacent to this section of W. King.  I turned 
around around and drove back toward and down Sandbank Road but was unable to 
relocate the bird.
