[cayugabirds-l] Called-in possible Arctic Kite

2015-03-21 Thread holly adams
Here at the front desk, got a call from a pretty knowledgeable birder near
Danby. He's especially knowledgeable about raptors.

On Hill Rd yesterday mid-day.

96B twd Danby, turn on Curtis Rd. At T, turn left onto Hill Rd. Sighting up
on the hill. Large, about eagle-sized, white with Arctic Kit-like markings.

Am curious what this will turn out to be!

I was in the area today (before reading this message) on Michigan Hollow road, 
and at one point heard a sequence of three broad-wing squeals. They fit in 
nicely between several blue jay vocalizations, from roughly the same direction, 
so without visual confirmation, and given the early (?) date, I was chalking it 
up as a blue jay. But perhaps it came from this arctic kite :-).
