We had a cheerful and bright (almost neon orange) golden-crowned kinglet today eating insects and singing in our old pine tree. A new yard bird for us.

[cayugabirds-l] Western tanager remains
I trekked to campus this afternoon, along with Rueben Stoltzfus and his family, to see the Western Tanager. We found it (life bird for Reuben) in the same location, moving from behind the yews to the alcove at the store entrance eating where someone had placed a handful of sunflower seeds on the ground near a wall of ivy. It is quite tolerant of people, and stayed in one location for a good five minutes or so, and provides excellent close views. At one point we were no more than a few feet away looking over the wall into the yews. We were able to make out some orange showing around the eyes, on the forehead, and around the beak.

After a thoughtful email exchange this morning with a member of this list, I am reminded how grateful I am for the opportunity to interact with this birding community. Thank you all for your eloquent and informative birdwatching stories and reports. I am a better birder because of the words you share. Thank you for being patient, thoughtful, and respectful educators -for using the word improbable rather than impossible- and for using the moment to teach rather than to simply correct. And lastly, Thank you for sharing your scopes, smartphones, field guides, your insights, knowledge, and enthusiasm under all weather conditions and roadside circumstances. I am so happy to see you out there. Have a wonderful winter birdwatching-- and a big welcome back to the Seneca Falls snowy owls!

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl
This evening I went searching for SHORT-EARED OWLS in an area where I thought had potentially good habitat. I did see one at sunset (which was awesome this evening) in the field across from this address: 9554–9558 Townsendville Rd in Interlaken. This is the same area where I frequently saw a Rough-legged hawk last winter. Can someone verify that this is still in the basin?

[cayugabirds-l] Cerulean and red-headed woodpecker
In the late afternoon on Friday we stopped at MNWR to see the RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS at Mays Point. We observed two of them and they were still fussing with the starlings over a nest hole. We were very pleased to hear and confirm (thanks to the sound feature on iBird Pro) two CERULEAN WARBLERS singing from opposite sides of the road from the wooded areas and we stuck around until we could get a visual on at least one. Our patience was rewarded when one finally moved and perched on a dead branch out in the open. Tough little birds to find considering they were so close and loud!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored sparrow
This morning I played the song from my Merlin app just twice. He flew around me and checked it out. Then he not only answered but practically landed on my head. What a cute little bird.

[cayugabirds-l] Yale farm road today
While searching for the snowy owls at 11:45 in the blowing snow today on Yale Farm Road (no luck) I was lucky to get really good views of 2 NORTHERN HARRIERS - a male and a female-- and a ROUGHLEGGED HAWK all hunting the same field east and south of Mcgrane. Several times they were all within my binocular view at the same time and easily seen with out the bins. It got even more interesting when a raven joined the party and started mobbing the female harrier for a short spell. New feeder addition: one tufted titmouse and several more red-winged blackbirds.

[cayugabirds-l] Pheasants and other August birds
Some interesting sightings over the last couple of days-- seems like months since I have been birdwatching! After some absence, I hear white breasted nuthatches and a baltimore oriole singing in my front yard. I wonder have they been around but silent or have they been on the move and back again? I found a cedar waxwing sitting on a nest in a small maple tree, and both she and her mate have been very vocal. On Wycoff road I flushed from the side ditch a female ring-necked pheasant with at least 4 chicks. Our dozen Barn swallows are still here and feeding their second batch of fledglings. I have seen large gatherings of bank swallows on the telephone wires. Northern mockingbirds also feeding their second round. And thanks to everyone who posted about the Gallinule families at MNWR- I was finally able to add them on my life list. I did not expect them to be so beautiful. Be well and keep moving!

[cayugabirds-l] Black-billed cuckoo
Strange as it may seem (at least it does to me) we have been regularly hearing a black-billed cuckoo here in farm country. Just this evening we saw the elusive bird fly from the telephone wire into the willow and then I lost it in the maple tree. I figured it to be more of a woodland bird, but there it was surrounded by barns and uncut, wet hay fields. I am so happy to have finally seen it, thanks to my husband who noticed a bird whose tail was not flicking up and down like our resident mockingbird.

For a few reasons, including the weather, we have more unplowed and unmowed and ungrazed fields this year around the house giving us quite a few chattering BOBOLINKS.

[cayugabirds-l] SNOWY OWL interlaken
Around 4:00 I spotted a SNOWY OWL perched atop a telephone pole on Rt 96 between Powell Rd and Kellys Corners Road in Interlaken. By the time I drove to pick up a friend to see it and returned it was gone. These owls are sure making winter driving exciting and hazardous--You just never know where they will turn up! Along the way we had one beautiful MALE HARRIER hunting on Tunison road, one KESTREL, about a dozen HORNED LARKS. My drive ended with a very close encounter with a COOPERS HAWK in my backyard. He shot out in front of the truck, did a few aerial moves, circled back into the car port (flushing the sparrows in the dead bushy vines that I swear I could hear scream "watch out he's coming back") and then he was gone. This guy has been hanging around for a couple of days and it was fun to see him stirring things up a bit. Quite an exciting 1/2 hour on a cold winter day. Be well and keep moving!

One SNOWY OWL sitting on the snowy patch on a bank 15 ft from the road. . On rt 89, Approx 1 mile south of 5/20 intersection. On the west side in snow and brush with perfect views of the cayuga marshes. At 10:30 a.m. and still there now. My map gives me the address of 2077 rt 89 seneca falls. It is just north of that address. Careful- there is a bad bend and a dip in the road for those traveling southward. Stopping is safest on the east side of the road :-).

[cayugabirds-l] Short eared owl-ovid
At 3:25 this afternoon while sitting at the kitchen table, a movement outside caught my eye. It was a SHORT EARED OWL hunting in the pasture next to my house (hall road) on the south side. We got great views of it hunting (tho a little blurry thru my husbands bins since mine are on their way to nikon for repair- ugh!) . It would hover in one place four 4 or 5 seconds then either dive or move to another vantage point often sitting on a roadside fence post. We had great views from the second floor and watched until he flew west at around 3:40. I was just getting ready to go for a drive to look for owls and this one came to me! Juncos have arrived at the feeder and snow buntings are here too. Good birding!

The ORCHARD ORIOLE (I assume the same one) that nested in our yard was back this morning singing loudly from a large maple. In May he was actively defending a nest then all went quiet. Not sure if there was a successful fledge or not. Today is the first time I've seen or heard him since the first days of June. What a nice surprise to hear his joyful song again! BARN SWALLOWS are fledging as I type.at least one nest has seven heads sticking out this morning. And we have a MEADOWKARK in the general vicinity that I can hear from my yard. That is a very rare event. Perhaps they like the army worms..

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owls - Ovid
I've been seeing, very regularly, 3 short-eared owls on Wycoff Road in Ovid. This evening, however, there were 4. These owls are quite vocal and it is a real treat to see them and hear them. Wycoff Road is between Hall Road and Rock River. Park on Wycoff, just east of Rock River, and look east. The owls rise up from behind the Beardsley farm on Rock River cross back and forth across Wycoff, often perching on a fence post. Those of you may remember the farm from the owl trip two years ago--they come back every year.
