[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Short-eared Owl Trip

[Ann Mitchell]

This afternoon seven "fair weather" enthusiastic birders joined me for a
trip to Long Point Road on a quest for Short-eared Owls. We parked at the
winery (with the owner's permission) and scanned the area for a couple
hours. We had good looks at an American Kestrel, Eastern Bluebirds, a House
Finch, Northern Harrier, and a Red-tailed Hawk. Finally, at dusk, the first
owl was spotted, then two. A total of three owls were seen. There could
have been more, but it became dark so quickly, it was hard to tell. It was
a life bird for one participant. We watched a male and female owl chasing
each other and "barking", their vocalizing being a first for some folks.
The trip was a total success!

Thanks to all who joined me and for making it such a fun trip.  Of note, I
have led many Short-eared Owl trips this time of year, and the temperature
has never been this warm.
Ann Mitchell

[cayugabirds-l] Pacific Loon, Sheldrake

[Jay McGowan]

Nathan Goldberg and I are looking at a very distant basic plumage PACIFIC
LOON from the southern end of Rt. 153 south of Sheldrake. It has been
getting steadily farther away but it still in view from the small parking
area there.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Off topic: old computers

[Robin Cisne]

The Tompkins County Solid Waste facility on Commercial Ave. off Route 13S
handles them if they're only good for trash.  Otherwise, the ReUse Store in
the Triphammer Mall fixes and resells them, but I would call first.
256-9699.

[Richard Tkachuck]

I have heard that there is a place in Ithaca that recycles old computers.
Where might this be?

[cayugabirds-l] Correction southwest park

[Sandy]

Omg, I should have typed European Starling not
American Starling!  Surely, everyone knows this. So grateful to have birds that 
stay with us through winter. Happy birding!
