[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle Day?
I just glanced at the weather forecast for today (Wednesday) and it looks favorable for Golden Eagles and other early-season migrating raptors. Keep an eye to the skies as you go about your day… Good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] golden eagle
Golden eagle about 4:45 pm on east side of Route 89 in Seneca County, a ways north of Van Doren Beach Road. Sitting in a tree, high up, and then flew. Also, gray catbird under Eastern cedar in my yard on Sheffield Road (about ½ mile north of Rt. 79). They are around all year, a number of them. Also plenty of mockingbirds, including more than one today. Carolina wrens in horses run ins. And another bird I can't be sure of - there were 3 or 4 but I got to watch one for a minute or two. It was on the ground under a big spruce tree (also in my yard), so lots of cover, scratching around in the litter on the ground. Had striking eye lines, dark ones above and below eye. Kind of plump body, but maybe because it was fluffed up. Buff upper body, no strong markings, and very light underbody. Bobbed tail like a wren but seemed too big for Carolina wren and eye markings were very dark, black in my binos.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden eagle
Yesterday as I was just about to leave my driveway at 2.41 pm to a doctors appointment, I generally looked up to the sky. I saw a low flying eagle above my yard with a short head and tail. I stopped and got my binoculars out to view a beautiful adult Golden Eagle. I watched it for sometime. It did not strike to me that I could take a video as my camera was lying just nearby. As I continued to East Hill, I saw two TVs circling. It has been a weird winter.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle, other high migrants
During a mid-day skywatch today (actually while on a conference call on my back deck), lots of birds were continuously passing over high — mostly BROAD-WINGED HAWK-shaped specks. Highlight was an adult GOLDEN EAGLE dwarfing some nearby Broad-wings. Also an imm. BALD EAGLE, 4 OSPREY, 3 NORTHERN HARRIERS, 8 SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, 1 RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, and a flock of 8 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS. In the yard was a flycatching YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and a wing-flicking HERMIT THRUSH, but none of the bright-colored migrants seen by others. KEN Kenneth V.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle in Dryden
I did a quick birding run around Dryden this afternoon. Dryden Lake is completely frozen, so nothing there. The only waterfowl I saw were 100 Canada Geese and 6 Mallards in an unfrozen puddle on West Lake Road. Also about 20 SNOW BUNTINGS there. Cornell Lane had 30 Horned Larks along the road near the cow barns, one of which had large white patches on the wings and back. I didn't get a good look, but it could suggest Snow Bunting with only a glimpse. As I hit the frozen-tundra-zone of Ferguson Rd coming out of Dryden toward Irish Settlement Rd, I was thinking Snowy Owl. Instead I saw a large broad-winged raptor flying along the tree line up hill. I figured it was a Red-tailed Hawk, but then noticed the upward dihedral of the wings and thought Turkey Vulture. When the crows came up out of the trees to mob it I realized it wasn't a vulture, but a GOLDEN EAGLE. After making sure I was off the road and not a tundra road hazard, I snapped a couple (hundred) photos. They confirm the ID, showing the white at the base of the inner secondaries and the base of the tail feathers of a juvenile Golden Eagle. It kept moving west toward Irish Settlement Rd, but disappeared into the clouds hanging below the tops of the hills. I hoped it would hang along the treeline of the ridge and turn up at my house on Yellow Barn. But, it never showed. :^( Kevin -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Golden eagle---Brooktondale
I felt lazy today; it's also cold, so I went to the center of the large field across from my house to see what might go over. It's also south of Mt. Pleasant, so anything over there has got to come my way, just higher. I had put in enough time so that my thoughts were dwelling on a big, hot bowl of soup, when I noted a dark speck to the north. I watched this for some time, until it came close enough to become a RAVEN. Normally I don't bother looking to the south, why would I, but since I had spent a lot of viewing time on the raven, I glanced back and up and there, just passing directly overhead was another dark form. I needed only binocs to see this was an adult GOLDEN EAGLE. I did get it in the scope, but that's a hard angle. So I just watched it circling slowly until it vanished in the direction of Pennsylvania. I hung out for another half hour, seeing 1 RED-TAILED HAWK, and a few more CANADA GOOSE flocks, then headed for the soup.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Golden eagle---Brooktondale
I returned to the field after lunch. I hadn't walked 30' in when the grass exploded with little birds. I recognized the call note of the AMER. PIPIT, and probably looked pretty klutzy as I tried to put the scope up, then down, meanwhile trying to extricate the binoculars from inside the heavy coat. They stayed in the field, however, where I flushed them twice more, mostly just to watch them flying. There were about 75. In the next 45 minutes, 7 RED-TAILED HAWKS went over. Finally, as I scanned northish, the view field was filled with black spots. A flock of around 300 AMER. CROWS passed silently to the south. Stragglers emerged from the same direction and followed the main mass for the next ten minutes. Migrants? That's my opinion. I haven't seen a crow flock of that magnitude out here in several years.

On my early morning Brooktondale walk today (Jan. 2), I spied an adult GOLDEN EAGLE. I was on Central Chapel Rd.; the eagle came up out of the woods behind Anne Marie's house flapping and spiraling, slowly gaining altitude as it searched for a thermal. It got to about 200' and continued its search as it slowly drifted south. Probably went right over Melissa's place.

I just returned from a morning neighborhood walk, battling the wind, sleet, rain and snow. I was positive there would be no raptors flying in this crapass weather. However, first I saw a RED-TAILED HAWK spiraling about, looking for a thermal (hah!). Then 10 ring-billed gulls in a kettle, which I could believe. Finally, an adult GOLDEN EAGLE flapped and glided 100' over my head at the corner of Boiceville and Central Chapel Rds. Unbelievable! Where there's a will, there's a way.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden eagle heading towards lab of O
Hi all, Just now a fairly low flying GOLDEN EAGLE flew northwards and I could watch it till it almost disappeared. It glided with slight wide opened view and beat wings a few times, then again glided with some more powerful wing beats and glide till it went out of my sight! I also saw the Corpse flower. It was awesome. I was expecting the stink to rub to myself and smell like a dead person, but surprisingly by the time I was in the room, I hardly smelt it. May be my brain had already reached saturation and got habituated, it could no longer perceive the smell. Plus we were admiring the flowers beauty. Worth a visit. I highly recommend it!

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle
Sorry guys about not specifying where I was when I saw the eagle. I was using my iPhone and it was the 1st or 2nd time I sent an email to the CBC site. Anyway, I was hiding behind the Observatory on Hammond Hill to get a break from the wind. I couldn't see directly south, but I could scope east and west. Sure enough, I saw a GOLDEN EAGLE soaring just north of IC. I followed it as it came closer. It flapped it's wings, but generally stayed in a soaring mode. I watched it traveling through the trees, then...it was out of sight. It took only a number of seconds viewing it, and, of course, not long enough.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle, Stewart Park
Thanks Jay for posting my sighting so promptly. Here are a few more details. After getting fairly views of the WESTERN GREBE at East Shore Park (thanks everyone for the RBA posts), I headed around to Stewart Park to do an additional scan. While pointing out the grebe to two visiting birders (Richard and Cindy, I think), all the gulls went up in a frenzied flock and then flocks of noisy geese came across from the golf course area. I immediately thought eagle and we stepped back from under the willows to see more sky. Cindy spotted the bird cruising fairly high directly overhead, but when I looked at it I realized that it was an immature GOLDEN EAGLE -- much more unusual for the time and place. It appeared as an all-black (i.e. no mottling on underparts or underwing coverts, very large raptor with striking and distinctive white patches at the base of the primaries (about 2/3 out on the wing) and a sharply demarcated white base to the tail. Shape was right for Golden, with non-wedge-shaped tail slightly shorter than projection of neck and head; wings were very broad and warped into a slight dihedral with wingtips held closed and slightly turned up. As it banked in profile (never circled above), I caught a goldish sheen to the neck and head in the bright sun and could see the yellow cere on the bill. The bird continued to cruise toward the southeast, out of sight in the direction of the High School and Cornell campus.

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle
As I was exercising my eyes away from computer and focused to infinity while thinking, I saw a couple TVs circling. Then further higher up I found another raptor. As it came closer to BTI office window, its fore arms' front edge (I mean wings' at the front edge) were shining in the sun and had tan edge to them and showed its nice golden head. It flew steadily towards south west! Right now a small flock Cedar waxwing flew over our building.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle
Derby Hill recorded 7 golden eagles yesterday. They also recorded over 100 chickadees moving. This is interesting, as 2 weeks ago, while at Fair Haven Beach SP, Susie I saw a large group of small birds kettling over a tree along the shore. We thought they were chickadees, but did not believe it, nor report it, as we assumed that chickadees did not migrate.S. S.

As I approached Agard Rd I noticed a large dark bird with a dihedral soaring low distantly off to my right. I'm not sure what prompted me to stop and turn around for a better look -- was it Ann's report of Golden Eagle the day before in Ithaca? the way this bird flapped occasionally? its steadiness in flight? the darkness of the view of the wings indicating a broader less curved shape? the way it was being harassed by crows? Anyway, I turned around at Halseyville Rd, pulled over, and picked up the binoculars (in that order). Meanwhile the bird had worked its way closer, and I got my best look ever at an immature GOLDEN EAGLE. The tail was long and wedge-shaped, white with a broad dark brown terminal band. The basal part of the underside of the primaries of each wing formed a white patch which did not show above. The wing coverts formed a broad medium brown band extending out from the shoulders. The crown and nape were clearly golden. Otherwise the bird was very dark brown. The wings were quite broad and straight, without the crooks and tapering of Turkey Vulture wings, and the head was more obvious than the neck of a Turkey Vulture. Four American Crows were attending it, one even grabbing at its tail, but they looked puny by comparison. The eagle seemed to ignore the crows as it wandered eastward toward the upper part of Taughannock Falls State Park. I'm wondering if this was the same bird Ann saw, and it's hanging around the area, or whether they are moving through. --Dave Nutter On Apr 21, 2011, at 02:36 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: While driving on Rte 13 just around the Green Street turn, a GOLDEN EAGLE was soaring above me.

We thought they were chickadees, but did not believe it, nor report it, as we assumed that chickadees did not “migrate”.S. S. Fast When the word migration appears without scare quotes, I tend to think of the default type of migration that so many of our region's breeding birds undertake: a complete, latitudinal, seasonal removal- and-return type of migration (true migration, as it's sometimes called). Since Chickadees don't do that, we can add qualifiers (in place of the scare-quotes) like Partial and Dispersive to informatively characterize what they do. However, the following quote from http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/ species/039/articles/migration suggests that what Chickadees do is actually best characterized as irruptive migration. Nature Of Migration In The Species Over 60,000 Canadian banding records collected from 1921 to 1995 show that 90% of recaptured birds show no movement (Brewer et al. 2000). Long-distance movements do occur, however, generally by young birds during a period of post-fledgling dispersal. In addition, large movements occur irregularly every 2+ years; these events are best termed “irruptions” rather than true migration (Lawrence 1958, Hussell and Stamp 1965, Bagg 1969, Bock and Lepthien 1976, Smith 1991, Hussell 1996). Few adults are found in these irruptions (Bagg 1969, Smith 1991). -Geo Geo Kloppel Bowmaker Restorer 227 Tupper Road Spencer NY 14883 607 564 7026 g...@cornell.edu geoklop...@gmail.com -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[cayugabirds-l] Golden Eagle
Steve Fast is helping me with my new roof, and he and I spent a couple of hours up on that roof this afternoon. More bird watching than roofing. But worth it. Somewhere around 1 pm we spotted a single GOLDEN EAGLE making its way slowly southward. Rather distant. Quite dark. At first we thought vulture, but there was no dihedral to its wings. It only flapped occasionally. At one point it was visited by a TV, and the eagle was larger. We saw no other migrating birds in spite of a view covering some 20 miles east - west. We did have a local flock of a dozen TVs, a couple of Red-tails, and numerous Blue Jays transferring acorns.
