Re: [cayugabirds-l] Short eared owls

2014-12-12 Thread Tom 
I saw one in the wing at about 1530 today, over fields just south of Aurora off 
NYS Rte 90.  I and others have seen SEOs there many times in the past over the 
years.

Has anyone seen them recently near the Evergreen Cemetery W of NYS 34B on the 
Levana Road in
Scipio?

Poplar Ridge Rd; accipiter and probable N. Harrier


Lake Rd/Long Point Winery: from ~~3:00-3:45 and primarily west or toward 
lake from winery, 1 male Am. Kestrel, 1 light phase Rough-legged Hawk attacking 
a Red-tailed Hawk, 1 imm. N. Harrier (seemed very large and probably female),

For John, this was the sixth visit to the Long Point Winery area in the

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Gannet - Sodus Point

2014-12-12 Thread Joseph M Wing 
This afternoon around 1:45 I briefly saw a non-adult Northern Gannet at Sodus 
Point. The bird showed its wings, tail, and head proportions well. Was flying
to the west, crossed the channel a bit out into the lake. I lost sight of it as
it dropped below the horizon. I went to the old light house for some better 
views
of the lake, did not see the bird from that location.

I managed to get several poor images that show some field marks that separates 
it from some similar species:

Clara, I also wondered how detailed you wanted Raven stories to be.  I often 
take my dog walking in the woods up by the overlooks at Taughannock and Ravens 
nest in that gorge. One of my delights is hearing them calling to each other as 
they fly along the river.  One day one was stationary in a tree and doing many 
different calls, all Raven sounding but with the variability of crows with lots 
of vocalizations. Another time I was walking along the edge and a Raven flew 
below me and I realized how huge they are.  According to some numbers I have 
read they are close to a Red-tailed Hawk size.  And then another day I was 
driving back down rt 89 and an crow was in furious pursuit of a Raven (they 
will mob and chase them the same way they do hawks) and they were both kind of 
flying diving straight at  me and the contrast in size and power was so 
evident.  The Crow was about half the size and looked puny.  When you hear them 
in the sky you immediately seize on that as a magic moment.  

Nice talking to you this morning.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raven inquiry

2014-12-12 Thread Rob Blye 
Clara, 

I was a wildlife science major at Cornell from 1968-1972. I spent much time 
outside birding, hunting, fishing and taking courses all over the southern tier 
of upstate NY. I do not recall seeing a raven anywhere in the southern tier 
during my tenure at Cornell. I probably saw or heard ravens in the Adirondacks 
but do not affirmatively remember. 

I spent my career working as a fish and wildlife biologist consulting to the 
utility industry, for the most part. As an aside, the company I worked for 
initially, Ichthyological Associates, Inc. (and ultimately retired from a 
successor to IA), was started by Dr. Edward C. Raney, who mostly hired his 
students to staff projects around the eastern US. 

Many, many years later, in the fall of 2004, I was on a project at a proposed 
wind power site near Hornby NY, about half way between Corning and Watkins 
Glen. We had been hired to monitor raptor, songbird and waterfowl migration as 
part of the permitting and impact assessment process for a utility scale wind 
energy project. I spent many days looking at a mostly empty field where the 
monitoring site was located. I recall that I did not see a single migrating 
raptor during many days of observation. 

However I did observe resident red-tailed hawks, northern harriers and common 
ravens on a daily basis. One day I was watching an adult harrier coursing over 
the fields hunting. I was enjoying the harrier show when a single raven showed 
up and took up an aerial position behind and slightly higher than the harrier. 
The raven mimicked every move that the harrier made until the harrier turned 
over in the air and struck at the raven with its talons. The raven hopped up in 
the air, dropped back a few feet as the harrier righted itself and continued 
flying low over the field. As soon as the harrier resumed hunting, the raven 
resumed its mimicking flight until again the harrier struck at the raven. This 
process continued for about 20 min. I could usually see the birds naked eye but 
I also had binoculars and a scope. I watched in amazement as the aerial show 
went on for about 20 minutes. Finally the raven moved off and the harrier flew 
to another field. 

I speculated then, and now, as to why the raven mimicked the harrier. Was it 
planning to steal a mouse from the harrier? Was it simply demonstrating its 
flying prowess to the harrier and itself? Was it playing? I like to believe 
that the behavior was play with the potential benefit of a stolen meal. 

One thing for certain is that the raven was every bit as light in the air and 
accomplished a flyer as was the harrier. And we all know that harriers appear 
magical in the way that they soar, flutter, kite and drop to the ground on 
wings a buoyant as a helium-filled balloon.

Not sure where you are on S Danby but I strongly agree! We have property on
Dry Brook Rd and the raven population is very large around there. As well
as barred owls and in the summer, RS Hawks.
