[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon

[bob mcguire]

I was thrilled to find one of the Peregrines looking up at me from about 40 
feet away - perched on a snag on the north rim of Taughannock gorge just below 
the visitor’s center (8:30 am). It sat preening and looking around, aware of my 
presence but not seeming to be distracted by it. It called occasionally, quite 
loud above the falling water of the falls. After about a half hour several 
Turkey Vultures flew up the gorge and shortly after that the Peregrine departed 
downstream.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] PEREGRINE FALCON

[Diane Morton]

How wonderful to see a Peregrine so close!

Yes, Peregrine Falcons returned to the Taughannock Falls area in the past
couple of years. You may be interested in an upcoming presentation, *The
Peregrines of Taughannock Gorge,* that Tim Gallagher, former
editor-in-chief of Living Bird magazine, will be giving on Monday,
April 11, 7:30 pm, for the Cayuga Bird Club (via Zoom).

Short description:

After a 74-year absence, Peregrine Falcons finally returned to nest at
Taughannock Gorge in 2020. The gorge is arguably the most famous falcon
nest site in the world, thanks to a famous picture taken by Cornell
ornithologist Arthur Allen in the 1920s.


Tim Gallagher will present the entire saga of the Taughannock Peregrines
from their discovery by world-famous-bird-artist (and former Cayuga Bird
Club President) Louis Agassiz Fuertes in 1909; the factors that led to the
abandonment of the eyrie in 1946; Professor Tom Cade’s failed effort to
reintroduce captive-bred peregrines there in the 1970s; and their
triumphant return in 2020.

[cayugabirds-l] PEREGRINE FALCON

[Annette Nadeau]

I'm astounded that I just had a male PEREGRINE FALCON perched in a small
tree directly across the road from me! I watched it for several minutes as
it sat quietly. I was able to see it perfectly through my living room
window.
I've seen many of these birds up close as I used to help feed them when the
hawk barn was across the road from the old Lab of O building.
Before I wrote this message I checked my field guide to be absolutely
certain (even though there wasn't a doubt in my mind).
I live about six miles from Taughannock and am wondering if it could be
from that area. What a thrilling addition to my yard list!!!

A peregrine falcon swooped by low and fast between Caldwell Hall and Martha
van Rennselaer Hall on the Cornell campus at about 8:10 this morning.  It
was chasing another bird unsuccessfully as it was navigating a slalom

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon, Stewart Park

[Dave Nutter]

For what it’s worth, there was a dead Canada Goose in the middle of the Stewart 
Park ice shelf on Sunday afternoon. I don’t know what killed it, but a 
Peregrine today on that or another goose carcass does not necessarily mean that 
the Peregrine killed it. Maybe the goose carcass is simply an easier source of 
food at the moment. I’ve seen a video of a falconer’s Gyrfalcon killing a 
Canada Goose, and it was a long difficult project for that more powerful 
predator to take down, subdue, and kill such a big prey. It was also a long 
process for a Peregrine to kill a Willet (ultimately by drowning as I recall), 
which SFO witnessed in NJ a few years back. Ducks and gulls are more likely 
items than a goose for a Peregrine to kill, which I’ve also seen a Peregrine 
upon at Stewart Park in the past. Although I did not witness the actual duck 
kill, I saw from a distance the Peregrine stoop. Then again, there’s a lot of 
geese, and perhaps one was too slow or complacent.

By the way, Stuart Krasnoff & I had great looks at an adult Peregrine Falcon at 
Myers Point on Sunday afternoon.

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi all,
Just now an adult Peregrine  passed my window up very close, may be something 
like 20 feet and circled and headed west. No, but actually it has turned back 
and headed towards Vet School and beyond.

BTW, the Tower Road is perfect east-west road. I think on a equinox sun should 
rise from the east of the road and set across the road behind the McGraw Tower!

Cheers

RE: [cayugabirds-l] PEREGRINE FALCON on Bradfield Hall SW corner ledge...

[John and Sue Gregoire]

Meena,

You're strict! We've always used any bird that can be seen from the yard. I 
believe
that same type guideline is used for point counts, big sits, big squats and 
other
competitions. I guess you had best allow for hearing also. ;-)

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon on Ithaca Gun smokestack

[Russell A. Charif]

Last seen at 8:55 this morning.

I have actually seen the bird there many mornings in recent weeks, when I drive 
by the Gun Hill apartments on Lake St. (between 8:35 and 8:40 most weekday 
morning), but have not been in a position to stop and get bins on it to 
identify until today.

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon

[Ann Mitchell]

Coming home from work around 5:25 today, I was stopped at a traffic light
on Buffalo and Meadow Streets.  There were 25 or so Rock Pigeons flying
about. I noticed a PEREGRINE FALCON flying among them. Luckily my
binoculars were on the front seat which confirmed the ID.
Good Birding, Ann

Maybe the Peregrines are just passing through, but I think about courtship and the possibility of a pair breeding locally.

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon

[Meena Haribal]

Hi all,

I went to my front yard to pick up my moth light for winter storage when a dark 
looking large falcon came into view coming low along Six Mile Creek not very 
far from the house. It continued flying along Rt 79 quite some distance in 
Southeast direction. I also found a small group of small finches flying over my 
house across Six Mile Creek.



Yesterday, afternoon from my office window I watched a compact stubby looking 
Sharp-shinned hawk circle around in front of my office window and head 
northeast!

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon, Iceland Gull

[Dave Nutter]

On Tuesday afternoon I biked over to Treman State Marine Park hoping for a better look at the Iceland Gull I'd scoped on the red lighthouse breakwater Monday afternoon from Stewart Park during a brief taxi break. When I stopped at the marina, noting the 2 continuing juvenile BRANT, I was surprised to see in the distance that the red jetty breakwater was nearly devoid of birds - just 3 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, 2 HERRING GULLS and a pair of MALLARDS, rather than the hundreds of gulls I'd expected. With the scope I saw a good reason: On the base of the red lighthouse stood an immature PEREGRINE FALCON picking at the carcass of an immature Great Black-backed Gull. I wish I'd seen that encounter. Within a couple minutes the falcon started walking around restlessly, then flew out over the lake and back toward the marina to land in some unseen perch in the big trees to my north. I checked out the numerous gulls on the docks in Treman Marina, but couldn't see anything unusual, so I walked to the lakeshore. Looking back I could see that the lawn on the east end of Stewart Park was crowded with gulls, perhaps also refugees of the peregrine attack. An hour later as I was passing by the marina again, for some unknown reason many of the gulls took flight, and I was able to pick out an ICELAND GULL, which conveniently re-settled atop one of the posts. I think it was either a second or third winter bird. Although it had very pale brown streaking, giving it an off-white appearance in flight, it also had a pale gray mantle, and a very pale yellowish bill with a grayish ring near the tip. It had a cuter, small-billed and round-headed profile than most Herring Gulls although its bulk was the similar to Herring. In flight it appeared broad-winged, and the undersides of the wings were white. Close inspection of the wings at rest showed some extremely pale brown into the primaries, which at first glance had appeared white.Waterfowl off Stewart were much the same as lately. HOODED MERGANSERS, and COMMON GOLDENEYE numbers are up over the past few days. I saw no Ruddy Ducks nor scaup, but a male CANVASBACK has joined the small group of REDHEADS. --Dave Nutter

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Peregrine Falcon, downtown Ithaca

Yard bird!! Actually, I was able to scope it through trees from my dining room window, and my non-birder wife and son saw it too. About 4:05 pm it flew, though. Thanks, Bill! This was a much better view than Bradfield Hall would've been. Everyone else, keep your eyes peeled for a Peregrine Falcon downtown. --Dave NutterOn Dec 11, 2010, at 12:44 PM, Dave Nutter nutter.d...@me.com wrote:3:40pm Sat 11 Dec Bill Baker just called to say there's a PEREGRINE FALCON perched on one of the lower steeples of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on the corner of North Geneva and West Seneca Streets in downtown Ithaca.

[cayugabirds-l] peregrine falcon at Cornell

[Jody W Enck]

Hi folks,
I watched a silhouette of a peregrine first fly by, then land, 
on Bradfield Hall on the Cornell campus around 7:30 this morning.  The local 
pigeons should be scared...very scared.
Also, right after sunset last evening I heard a Carolina Wren 
tea-kettling away in my yard in Ellis Hollow while I was trying to rake some 
leaves.
