I finally got to see a Snowy Owl after trying for a couple years! The owl was across the Thruway from the Waterloo Outlet Center about 2 PM, then flew to the corner tower by Timberland. From there it landed atop a telephone pole behind the northwest corner of the outlet center. I spotted it

Hi, Birders, Steve had posted that we had a large Cooper's Hawk in our backyard, 1 mile east of Brooktondale. A friend of ours had left us a chunk of deer carcass, set on top of the brush pile. Crows worked it over for a couple of days, eating, and hiding suet over in the field across the

I spent about 2.5 hours watching the Snowy Owl at the Waterloo Outlets Mall this afternoon, from around 2:30 to 5 PM when it got dark. These are my observations, including what the owl was eating! Since I am not a shopper and have never been to this mall, it took me a few drives around the

Wow! Thanks for all those great observations. I was worried that it might be hunting the median . I'm glad to hear that it's successfully hunting. I, too, wish it would move away from the mall to a safer place. Thanks for sharing. Carol Keeler Sent from my iPad On Dec 29, 2011, at 7:42

[cayugabirds-l] Snow geese are on the move

2011-12-29 Thread Marty Schlabach
I've just seen from our house near Interlaken, numerous large flocks of SNOW GEESE flying south over Cayuga Lake. They are quite high and flying in formation, unlike their more scattered patterns when flying more locally. I estimated 3-4,000 and there could easily have been more. They might

Mary Jean and I also paid a visit to the outlet mall this afternoon, with three things on our list: a radio/cd player, storage bins and a snowy owl. We were able to check all of them off our list. When we arrived late afternoon, we drove the interior perimeter of the mall looking for the owl

The whole time I was there, I was near or on the back-of-the-stores access road, adjacent to the T'way, either on foot (when owl was across T'way at Sunoco service area) or in my car (when the owl was on the mall side of the T'way). The retention pond was between my car and Post 6 at the back
