[cayugabirds-l] Red-tail nest
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 new nest location this year. The old one was up the hill behind the water plant and I'm not sure if it is being used again. The new one is at the first bend in the creek walking from the lot. Stand at the log jamb by shore and look across the creek bend to the two tallest pines, the nest is in the left tree at the top. The preserve was alive with Ruby-crowned Kinglet yesterday. I counted ten from the flat area. The Louisiana Waterthrushes and Winter Wren were also singing. Happy birding, Gary -- 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/ --

Not yard birds for me unfortunately , but my first Thrasher singing at the Hawthorns this morning. Towhees along the ravine were very vocal too.

[cayugabirds-l] Barred Owl
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 calling Barred Owl out over Cascadilla Creek. It was like birding desert; we didn't really need it, but it sure was good.

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden G.H. Owl
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 than something like road noise. When I would take off my ear muffs I could hear and see singing Cardinals, Robins, Bluebirds, Chickadees, Redwing Blackbirds, Titmouse, etc. A Killdeer also calls the club home. The most surprising vocalist was a Great Horned Owl in the spruce trees. I'm always thrilled to hear Owls in the daylight. I have never noticed any flushing or breaks in song that would indicate that they feel vulnerable, just spring business as usual.
