Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawks
A common sight in Kansas, where we are from. They are fun to watch, and so cool to see them dive to the point of making, what I call "thunder". I would love to see them again!

[cayugabirds-l] Common Nighthawks
I saw 3 Common Nighthawks flying over the ball fields at Groton Ave Park tonight at dusk (8:10pm). I’m often at this park but haven’t seen them here before.

[cayugabirds-l] Québécois gull
Last Saturday afternoon at Myers Point I noticed one Ring-billed Gull (among hundreds present) whose left leg had a blue band marked with “TEJ” in white. I reported this sighting to reportband.gov, and today I learned a little about the bird: It’s a male who was banded as an adult in 2020 on June 26, which means it was hatched in 2017 or earlier. The folks who banded it were from the Biological Sciences Department of the University of Quebec at Montreal. The banders did not travel very far for this field work. The location was north latitude 45 degrees, 45 minutes and west longitude 73 degrees, 25 minutes, which is in the St Lawrence River a short distance downstream (northeast) of the City of Montreal. According to Google maps this point is close to an uninhabited island called Île Beauregard. Islands and shoals can shift, so maybe it wasn’t worth getting more precise with the location. My guess is that Ring-billed Gulls breed on that island. Anyway, it’s interesting to me to see where some of “our” gulls spend at least some of the breeding season. - - Dave Nutter -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Piebald redtail?
Anyone out Hile School rd wetland-watching, keep an eye out for a fairly dramatic looking red tailed hawk. As far as I can tell, it has an unusually white head as well as bright white breast and all sorts of random if small white splotches in wings in flight. You may remember several years ago there being a leucistic red tail near Ed Hill rd x Fall Creek rd around the Organic Vegetable farm. It was initially thought to be a snowy owl but, well, wasn’t. Just occurred to me that it might be related somehow.
