Re: [cayugabirds-l] Female Red-winged Blackbird
We had two females on Saturday.

I was surprised this morning to see a FEMALE Red-Winged Blackbird scratching for spilled seed under a feeder. My understanding has been that the males arrive first in early spring, usually in large flocks, and claim territories. It is only later that the females arrive. Has anyone else noticed female Red-wings yet?

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Location/Correction/ NOT Lake Road, Cayuga
Laura Stenzler my daughter, Becky, are_just south of Pumpkin Hill Bistro_ (/south of Aurora/) looking at the owl sitting atop a snow drift in the field on the_west side of Rte. 90_. The co-ordinates given below are correct BUT the location Cayuga, NY is not. Becky said a row of spruce trees is just south of the apple orchard the owl is between the spruces Lake Rd. that goes down to Long Point SP. Hope this clarifies the location for anyone mystified by Lake Rd. fields, Cayuga since there is no Lake _ROAD_ in Cayuga no fields are along Lake St. in Cayuga. Becky said the owl is easily seen from Rte. 90 but the west wind is really bitter.

Snowy is Still there at 3:15, plus several harriers. The snowy is now in the NE corner of the field, close to Rte 90 and the buildings along the N of the field ( opposite side of the field from the winery). Does that make sense?

[cayugabirds-l] late posted Sandbank Rd dark phase Roughleg
On Saturday afternoon around 2pm there was Rough-legged Hawk hunting the fields on either side of upper Sandbank Rd (downhill from the King Rd intersection. It was the darkest dark-phase Roughie I have ever seen, with barely a smidgen of white between the wrist and wing tips. I saw no other light color on this bird, though the flat light may have contributed to this. Because it was so dark at first I wanted to make it into an eagle or a TV, but once I saw the wings and realized when it came down that it was not that big, I decided it was a Roughie. It hovered several times for around 10 seconds and then dropped to the ground but came up with nothing. I returned and found it again about 20 minutes later, bobbing its tail while perched in the small twigs of one of the single trees near the newly erected fence on the south side, from which it launched again to hunt on the northern side of the road. No question once I saw it perched that it was a R-l. -- asher -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

The eBird location ..., Cayuga, New York refers to a place in Cayuga County, New York State. EBird recognizes counties and states and adds them to all U.S. locations, even if you already use them in the name you give to a location. EBird does not sort out other municipalities to add to the name, but you may use them in the name you choose. --Dave Nutter On Mar 23, 2015, at 03:55 PM, John and Fritzie Blizzard job121...@verizon.net wrote: Laura Stenzler my daughter, Becky, are just south of Pumpkin Hill Bistro (south of Aurora) looking at the owl sitting atop a snow drift in the field on the west side of Rte. 90.
