[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawk @ Commonland

2019-05-22 Thread Suan Hsi Yong
Just heard a Common Nighthawk buzzing over the woods south of my house in
Commonland, over Six-Mile Creek, offering only a brief unbinoculared look
at a small dot moving across the cloudy sky.

[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawk video from yesterday

2018-09-20 Thread Suan Hsi Yong
Here's a video I took yesterday (Wednesday) during lunch at Sherwood
Platform, Sapsucker Woods, of the Common Nighthawk:


https://www.facebook.com/suan.yong/videos/10217783338833162/?l=8661839843050610780

It shifted positions several times, and each time it did so it would sway
back and forth, either waddling due to physique, or perhaps emulating a
dead leaf blowing in the wind?

[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawk @ Fall Creek neighborhood

2015-05-24 Thread Suan Yong
Sitting in the back yard of a friend's house in northern Fall Creek (a few 
blocks south of Northstar) I just heard and then saw a nighthawk circling about 
not too high (visible with naked eye, but not low enough to discern the white 
wing patches).

[cayugabirds-l] NIGHTHAWK AND BABY ROBIN

2015-05-22 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi all,
I was on phone with Bill Evans about couple of hours ago when a Nighthawk 
appeared in view from Vet School side and circled over and flew away east of 
the building.

Yesterday while I was walking EIRW near Maple Wood Apartments, I saw a Ronin 
collecting mouth full of earthworm, it did not flush very far when I walked 
quite close. I thought he was collecting it for his female on the nest. But to 
my surprise a baby robin  flew to the fence and started giving a begging call 
and it was well fledged but still some juvenile plumage could be observed.

That is one heck of a productive Robin pair!

[cayugabirds-l] nighthawk

2013-08-30 Thread Susan Fast
I had just got home from work (2015), and thought to step out front for a
last peek at the sky.  As I reached the edge of the driveway, a COMMON
NIGHTHAWK tilted over, not 10' up.  The wife was standing on the porch and I
shouted look!  She went Wha?  I said nighthawk.  She responded with
Yea!!!  And we watched it dart on down the road.  This gives me 6 for the
season so far, about average.

I also heard COMMON NIGHTHAWK calls yesterday evening (Sat) at home.  
The bird seemed to rise from a ground-roost close by.

[cayugabirds-l] Nighthawk

2011-05-18 Thread Geo Kloppel
While driving along route 34 in Cayuga County, I spotted a COMMON  
NIGHTHAWK about a mile north of Scipio Center. The time was  
approximately 5:30 pm. I think that area drains westward to Great  
Gully, or maybe southward to Big Salmon Creek...
