 Canada Geese are culled in many areas because there are TOO MANY of them to 
 get rid of any other way.  Boston's Logan Airport is doing catch and release 
 for the Snowy Owls - they bait with rodents, and catch them and move them 
 away from the airport.
 
 Canada Geese are so numerous, they can take out more than just one engine 
 and THAT'S what takes a plane down.   Here is how Logan Airport deals with 
 Snowy Owls:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cardinals eating snow

2014-02-08 Thread Corinne Morton 
I just took several pictures of a male Cardinal eating snow with his beak 
covered, very cute. He did this several times and would then scrape it clean 
and start all over again.

 Hi all,
 I just watched cardinals eating snow.  First, I saw a male  cardinal on the 
 snow, I thought he looked very cute so I was praising his beauty. Then I 
 thought may be snow is too deep for him get up. Just then he started eating 
 snow. When he face was up, his beak was covered with snow.  So I ran down to 
 my car to get the video camera out. By the time I came up and set up my 
 camera, he had his last bite (?) of snow and flew up to a branch still his 
 beak covered with snow.  As I was watching him, I saw another bird down 
 slightly hidden in the branches. It turned out to be his partner who was also 
 eating snow. She too was satiated after a few minutes and joined the male. 
 Then they both flew away together.
 It was a very cute behavior to  watch and birds looked adorable!

 The screech-owl was in the tree cavity opening again this morning. Last year 
 it seemed to most frequently appear in the opening when it was sunny, so I 
 was skeptical this morning, but it was there. Thanks, Dave, for reminding us 
 about this owl!
  
 The cavity is about half way up a tree at the back edge of the parking lot on 
 the left side of the Dandy Mart on Rt. 79 in the village of Slaterville 
 Springs (in the town of Caroline). If you don’t see a dark cavity, then the 
 owl is probably in the opening, well camouflaged. The cavity faces the 
 parking lot and is easily seen from one of the parking spaces on the left 
 side of the building.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Goose down on the commons

2017-12-13 Thread Corinne Morton 
Strangely , I just got a call from a friend on Tioga who said a goose is oddly 
sitting in his front lawn like the commons goose and won't move . It also keeps 
stretching its neck out flat but nobody is around.  I am at work and can't get 
there myself.  He's never had a goose in his lawn on Tioga before. It might be 
ill but he  said it doesn't look injured.

Candace, I remember that you said you are being trained for transport.  Does 
this goose fit into your parameters?

Apparently there is a goose sitting on the commons, sitting on the walkway and 
been there several hours. Can anyone co check on him and maybe bring to Swanson 
if necessary? Doesn't seem a likely spot for one...

Photo attached.
