[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl at Renwick

[Ann Mitchell]

I spotted the owl in the back of the woods. It was very inconspicuous except 
for a noisy crow. It would be really cool if they could find a nesting spot 
there again!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Great-horned Owl chorus

[Geo Kloppel]

Nice, Melanie! For Great Horned Owls in our area the 6 week season of courtship 
is near (late December through January), so you may be in for more of the same.

Here's an enjoyable historic piece on the subject, full of Tompkins County 
experiences (it's from Frederick Baumgartner's doctoral thesis):

[cayugabirds-l] Great-horned Owl chorus

[Melanie Uhlir]

I was very lucky last evening to catch a Great Horned Owl call from a 
westerly direction while about to enter my house on Wood Road at about 
10:30 pm (12/10/2016). I put my musical equipment away and noticed that 
the moon was very bright on the freshly fallen snow. I went out to enjoy 
this seasonal beauty and heard some more owl calls. My partner and I 
then relaxed with some Netflix for an hour or so and afterward I decided 
to go out and listen for some more owl calls. I was more than rewarded 
by not only hearing more owl vocalizations from nearby, but also with 
seeing two separate dark, silent figures fly over the house, backlit by 
the moon -- and more than that! --  the further thrill of hearing a 
seemingly convergent group of owls coming closer and singing in seeming 
harmony, closing in from the south and west.


I'm sorry if this is something I should have researched on my own, but 
do owls hunt in family groups? I had never before been in the right 
place at the right time to have heard so many owl vocalizations in such 
close proximity! I feel very fortunate!!

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl

[Geo Kloppel]

A Great Horned Owl just flew in to perch on the spire of a Norway Spruce about 
200' downslope from my living room window. Although I can sometimes hear GHOWs 
in the far distance, my neighborhood is a long-standing Barred Owl area - I 
hear them up close on an almost daily basis. So this evening's GHOW is a 
special treat, made even better by its appearing in the open while there's 
still enough light to see more than a silhouette.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl Rt 89

[Daniel Graham]

At around 5:30 tonight there was a Great Horned Owl in a tree very
close to Rt. 89 south of Rt 139 in (I think) Ovid.

Also lots of goose movement today near Geneva, including ~50 Snow
Geese moving due West, and hundreds of Canada Geese moving North in
formation.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl Golf Course

[Barbara Bauer]

I think the nest and owl can be seen from Cass Park too - from the backstop 
labelled B2, on the field between the skating rink and the inlet, look directly 
east. There's a group of three or four conifers, and then one conifer alone 
just to the right of the group. Behind that conifer is a reddish tree, and 
behind THAT tree is a taller tree.  The nest is high and a little to the right. 
 There's a white house on the hillside above it a little to the left.  

This is based on a binocular view, though, so salt is indicated.

Donna,
Thanks for very exacting directions.   That's always a big help.
   Lovely owl soaking up the sunshine in an old Red-tail nest, easy to see 
through the group of bare trees, northwest from the parking lot.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl nest, Ithaca; Mute Swan, Myers Point

[Jay McGowan]

Hi all,
A couple interesting things in Tompkins County recently. Local birder Dan
Otis alerted me to the presence of a GREAT HORNED OWL nest on the Newman
Municipal Golf Course. The birds are nesting in an old Red-tailed Hawk nest
in a tall tree in the middle of the course. It's quite high up and easily
visible from a distance, so disturbance of the birds shouldn't be an issue.
Livia and I checked it out yesterday and found the best view from Pier Road
just after turning right off of Willow Ave. then looking back to the left.
An adult was nicely visible sitting high on the nest. I was also able to
see the nest, which is fairly large and conspicuous if you have an
unobstructed view, from Stewart Park along Fall Creek looking southwest,
but this view was more distant and obscured than from Pier Road. Since to
my knowledge we have not seen the nest of the Renwick Woods owl family for
a couple of years now, it seems highly probably these are the same birds.

This morning I looked around Myers Point for a while. I did not succeed in
locating the Tufted Duck (last seen, as far as I know, by Livia and me on
Monday morning on the north side of the Salt Point spit). I did find a dull
immature MUTE SWAN with 58 Tundra Swans on the spit just east of the
private marina. Dabbler numbers were high as well, with some really
impressive NORTHERN PINTAIL flocks out in the middle of the lake totaling
over 300 birds. Dozens of AMERICAN WIGEON, at least six GREEN-WINGED TEAL,
seven WOOD DUCKS in the marina, three WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, and the usual
mix of Aythya (numbers greatly reduced from previous weeks) rounded out the
waterfowl mix. An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was preening with the gull
flock off the marina. Monday evening, Livia and I saw two adult Lessers and
an adult ICELAND GULL on ice floes off the point. Immature Iceland continue
to be seen sporadically at the compost piles as well.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl, Palmer Woods

[David Weber]

Hi all,

The GHOW has returned to its roost at Palmer/Jessup Woods on north campus.  He 
is currently in a small pine behind the row of tamaracks, which is up the hill 
from A-lot and to the right.

Although it looks like it is fenced off, the wooden fence is still part of 
Palmer Woods.

Just follow the crows!

Good birding,
David Weber

[Robyn Bailey]

Last night I heard a Great Horned Owl hooting near my house at ~11:30pm. No one 
answered him, but I hope he finds a valentine tonight.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl

[Stephanie Greenwood]

I was gently awakened this morning at around 5am by a Great Horned Owl 
hooting outside my bedroom window.

And just now a neighbor spotted it nearby in the NW corner of our wood.

I've been woken up at 3am the past two nights by the hooting of Great 
Horned Owls. It sounds like two of them calling and answering.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Horned Owl - Juniper Drive

[Stuart Krasnoff]

I heard a Great Horned Owl hoot briefly this morning at 0530 h.  It was 
probably in the vicinity of the gate at the end of Juniper where it meets the 
South Hill rail trail.  I have observed much concerted crowing of crows down 
there over the past 10 days and have wondered if there was a big owl about.  
There was this morning.

I was at Myers and Salt Pt. shortly after 6, saw gulls, mallards, mergansers, 
spotties, Killdeer, etc., a well-dispersed case of Keystone Light MTs (the 
devil's brew).  Absolutely no connection attributed to the latter but just as a 
heads-up to the birding community I also observed much concerted deployment of 
Canada Goose decoys off the points and heard some gunfire from the west shore.  
A September goose hunting window opened today until until 9/25 
(http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28496.html).

Best...Stuart

[cayugabirds-l] Great -Horned Owl

[Meena Haribal]

Hi all,
Yesterday night at 10.20 PM, I heard the Great Horned Owl call from somewhere 
near my house from Six Miles Creek side. He called for a few minutes.
Yesterday evening, when I waiting for the bus at BTI bus stop on Cornell 
campus, a co-passenger and I watched about 30 to 40 Chimney Swifts swirling in 
the sky.  There used to be four or five that circled on and off this summer in 
front of my office windows that probably were breeding in Vet Tower.  May be 
now these are joined by other campus birds along with their young.

Or could they have been a migrating flock? Does anyone know about Chimney Swift 
migration?
