Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane note

[Peter Saracino]

I'd check Knox Marcellus Marsh and the fields around Armitage Rd. and
Olmstead Road (Olmstead is a right hand turn off of Armitage as you head
west on Armitage). If you strike out there check the fields along Rt. 31 a
bit north of Knox Marcellus.
Good luck!

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane note

[Peter Saracino]

A word about my recent post about the cranes on Olmstead Rd. I was going
thru the flock counting them one by one going right to left. I got to my
three hundredth bird with a handful more to count when the entire group
went airborne.  It was quite a raucous spectacle.but left me with an
unfinished count. If I had to estimate I'd say there may have been 10 or 12
birds left to count that I was unable to count. Also I'm pretty sure the
number was even higher because there were birds down in a slough whose
heads would suddenly poke up unexpectedly amist the corn stubble.
I'm hoping they'll stay around the complex so someone can get an even more

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane nest, Main Pool Montezuma

[Dave Nutter]

Reuben Stoltzfus just told me about a Sandhill Crane nest he saw yesterday from 
the Main Pool tower at Montezuma NWR, looking north about 200yards just on the 
far side of a water channel. The adults were well camouflaged and they had at 
least 1 very tiny chick, so small that it seemed not to have left the nest. I 
don’t know how long that situation would last while waiting for egg #2 to 
hatch, or whether they would continue to brood the young or return there, but 
it may be worth looking for today or tomorrow, as well as scanning closely for 
the adults in the vicinity.

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane Ithaca

[bob mcguire]

I was just about to come in for lunch when I heard the unmistakable calling of 
a SANDHILL CRANE. I spotted the bird, almost overhead, flying NW. When it got 
over the Ithaca reservoir it circled several times then disappeared beyond the 
treeline, still headed NW. First for the yard for me!

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane - Clay Marsh; Bald Eagle carrying Am. Coot - Geneva

[tigger64]

Friday night at Clay Marsh a Sandhill Crane flew by.  Derby Hill reports seeing 
it pass this morning.  Earlier in the week a Bald Eagle was seen carrying an 
American Coot on Seneca Lake at the Geneva Waterfront.  Cackling Goose at the 
north end of Cayuga Lake.  Staging/migration of geese has begun in a big way, 
with a massive roost-flight to Seneca Lake on Monday.  Large numbers of ducks 
at north ends of both Cayuga and Seneca.

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane

[M Kardon]

At 6:45 this morning in the field across from 218 Bundy Road there was one 
sandhill crane.  It was still there about 10 minutes later when I returned to 
the same spot on my walk.  I walk in this area frequently, and have never seen 
one here before.  Marsha Kardon

[cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Crane, Wolcott

[Ken Rose Burdick]

Hi,

We received a report from a group of local birders of a Sandhill 
Crane in northern Wayne County.  It was seen  last Friday on Garner 
Road, Wolcott, NY, just south of Chimney Bluffs State Park - in a 
field on the east side of the road.A pair was recorded in this 
vicinity in July, 2005.  Possibly a breeding location?


Good birding,


Ken  Rose Burdick
