[cayugabirds-l] GHO and something else calling

2015-10-28 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Since last 10 minutes a GHO has been calling outside my bedroom window. But I 
also heard another call sounded like choweyy, which was repeated every second 
or so.  I have recorded it on my nexus. I will post it tomorrow morning.  I am 
wondering if it is one of the sawwhet owl's calls. It just started to rain now.

[cayugabirds-l] Fox Sparrows at Sherwood Platform at Sapsucker Woods

2015-10-28 Thread Ethan Chaffee
I pished up at least 2 Fox Sparrows at the Sherwood Platform at 1:30 today,
along with a Winter Wren, a couple Song Sparrows, and a Yellow-rumped
Warbler. Very birdy at Sapsucker today!

[cayugabirds-l] Even bad days can be good days!

2015-10-28 Thread Linda Orkin
Paul Anderson's report from his bird walk on Sunday at Sapsucker Woods,
Ithaca where he had 6 people show up on an iffy day.

We had an inauspicious start due to it being unpleasantly cold and wet and
with poor visibility. However, as we were waiting for people to arrive we
noticed a group of about twenty Cedar Waxwings in the tree just outside the
visitor center where they were carefully plucking berries and eating them.
We went round the Wilson trail and were surprised by how much activity
there was despite the weather. After about 30 minutes, the rain stopped.
The best spot was the platform overlooking the pond from which we saw lots
of Rusty Blackbirds, a very close Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and a Coopers Hawk
on a tree by the pond. A very nice day after all.

Don't forget, walks are Saturday and Sunday at 9AM throughout the winter.
All are welcome and walks are targeted towards beginners.

Hope to see you there.
