[cayugabirds-l] Red-tail nest

2013-04-21 Thread Gary G. Kohlenberg
Dave's story of the Chickadee nest reminded me that I wanted to share a new nest sighting. While birding Mulholland Preserve yesterday I saw two Ravens chasing a Red-tailed Hawk from the gorge downstream, presumably away from their nesting location. The same Red-tails have a

It was a little breezy last night for owling, but Ann and I decided to try and continue a fantastic day of birding into the dark. The first two stops on Irish Settlement Rd. didn't produce a single hoot. We drove back on Ellis Hollow Creek Road and were surprised by a spontaneously

I spent some time at Stewart Park and Treman Marina this morning. There wasn't anything too unusual. I did see the Northern Shovelers , but missed the Horned Grebe Jay saw. I was happy to see the Osprey pair actively adding to their nest in Treman Marina. Gary -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden G.H. Owl

2013-03-30 Thread Gary G. Kohlenberg
Today, during the late afternoon, while shooting at the Dryden Gun Club I found myself wondering again whether nearby birds change their behavior living next to an intermittently noisy environment. In my few small samples I think they adapt well considering the noise is less predictable
