[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl: Ithaca Tompkins Airport

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Happy New Year everyone!

It's worthwhile noting that Short-eared Owls seem rather abundant this year and 
it may be beneficial scouting large fallow fields during evening Civil 
Twilight—when the birds begin to forage.

January 1st, shortly after 5pm, there was a single foraging SHORT-EARED OWL 
within the fenced-in confines of the Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, 
seen at a distance from Snyder Road (near the Cornell Chemical Disposal Site 
building) looking Southwest. The bird was occasionally visible with binoculars 
when it passed in front of lighted airport hangars.

The bird was first spotted by me while using a thermal-imaging monocular—easily 
visible in the thermal scope as a white bird fluttering in moth-like fashion 
above the distant field. This is a "safe" non-roosting location for disclosure, 
because nobody can wander onto the fenced-in airport fields. The bird was also 
seen by Scott Anthony, as well as Marianne and Andrew Ridley—owners of the 
thermal scope.

We also spotted a non-vocal Great Horned Owl perched atop the Cornell Chemical 
Disposal Site building; which later flew and perched in a nearby tree—easily 
visible using the thermal scope.

Recent SEOW sightings may be found by searching eBird’s mapping tool (Species: 
Short-eared Owl; Date: Jan-Jan, Current year; Location: Tompkins County; Select 
“Show Points Sooner" if zoomed out):

https://ebird.org/map/sheowl?neg=true=-76.75796935096129=42.142747964409615=-76.1763806058441=42.74672139161836=true=false=Z=false=false=on=1=1=cur

Please respect private property and give owls the space they need to roost, 
feed, and forage without disruption from their routine.

Good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl?

[Daniel Graham]

Should have reported this earlier but on 10/23 at around 6:30pm I saw
a bird consistent with SHORT-EARED OWL on Townsendville Rd. near Fox
Rd. in Lodi, an area where they are seen in winter. It was late dusk
so I couldn't see coloration but it was the right size, lithe and
bulky. I think worth checking the area more at least.

[cayugabirds-l] Short eared owl

[Donna Lee Scott]

Having been unable to attend CBC field trip Sat morn, I was able to drive 
around N Lansing/S Cay.  County looking for larks & buntings etc. late 
afternoon Sat.
Mostly struck out, seeing only a couple RT Hawks, a few CA Geese & 1 MODO! (& a 
few chickens).
At dusk I ended up well east of Aurora so decided to drive west on rural roads 
& try Long Pt St Pk Rd by winery.

After ~10 min. wait down hill 100' from farm house I was rewarded with a nice 
flyover of a Short Eared Owl!
It swooped around in front of me then flew SE out of sight.
Only one I saw.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl

[M & K Mannella]

This evening I went searching for SHORT-EARED OWLS in an area where I thought 
had potentially good habitat. I did see one at sunset (which was awesome this 
evening) in the field across from this address:
9554–9558 Townsendville Rd in
Interlaken.  This is the same area where I frequently saw a Rough-legged hawk 
last winter. 

Can someone verify that this is still in the basin?

As I was driving around I realized that quite more corn and cover crops are 
being grown in the last few years where there used to be  rough habitat.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl

[bmcguire]

Walking back from the mailbox this morning, I had a Short-eared Owl fly low 
across the field in front of me. It landed briefly in a hedgerow until chased 
back up by crows. The crows proceeded to escort it higher and higher until it 
finally disappeared into the overhanging clouds to the south.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl on Bluegrass Lane (northeast Ithaca)

[Tom Schulenberg]

Marshall Iliff, Ken Rosenberg, and I had a Short-eared Owl again this
evening over the field of tall switchgrass on Bluegrass Lane. This is the
first report from Bluegrass (that I know of) since Ken had a SEOW here last
Friday, but I don't know how many times it's been looked for since then.
Tonight it appeared at 18:23 and put on a very nice show; when we finally
lost sight of it, it was drifting east over the now fallow field along
Hanshaw Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl ballet

[Caro]

Went to see the SE Owl show at Long Point Winery this evening. There were at 
least six birds active. One had a run-in with a female Northern Harrier in the 
air--perhaps a vole ownership dispute.

This was my second time seeing this particular show in my life and I recommend 
it highly. The birds are quite striking both in markings and flight style. 
They're almost moth-like, as if more buoyant or less earthly--slightly less 
subject to the rigors of gravity--than other birds (even the harrier, who's no 
slouch at lofting). Also their faces, because of the bold eye markings, are 
discernible even with the naked eye, so it's possible to track where they're 
looking as they fly. That action can be hard to see in other birds, so watching 
the SE Owls hunt is like getting to see a bird's real-time perception and 
decision-making. It's riveting.

I haven't got my Sibley handy, only photos-- is the coloration in Short-eared 
Owls as rosy/buffy on the underwings and belly as it seems, or is that just the 
usual lighting conditions for snapping shots of these owls? One pic did show a 
more high contrast bird (almost black and white). 

By the way, re: Sibley not knowing everything: both a horrifying and comforting 
thought.

We were surprised to see the shirt-eared owl hunting again but this time even 
earlier--at 2:00 in the afternoon. Beautifully underlit from the snow against 
the bright blue sky. Nice thanksgiving treat!

[cayugabirds-l] Short eared owl-ovid

[M K Mannella]

At 3:25 this afternoon while sitting at the kitchen table, a movement outside 
caught my eye. It was a SHORT EARED OWL hunting in the pasture next to my house 
(hall road) on the south side.  We got great views of it hunting (tho a little 
blurry thru my husbands bins since mine are on their way to nikon for repair- 
ugh!)
. It would hover in one place four 4 or 5 seconds then either dive or move to 
another vantage point often sitting on a roadside fence post. We had great 
views from the second floor and watched until he flew west at around 3:40. I 
was just getting ready to go for a drive to look for owls and this one came to 
me!

Juncos have arrived at the feeder and snow buntings are here too. 
Good birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl

[bob mcguire]

Much to my surprise, there was a Short-eared Owl perched on a fence  
post along my driveway as I headed out this noon. It sat there calmly  
while I took pictures from about 30m away. Eventually it dropped to  
the ground and remained there until I flushed it several hours later  
when going to look for pellets. This is well up on Snyder Hill Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] Short eared owl

[Donna Scott]

1 SHORT EARED OWL well after sunset on Carncross Rd., near the berm and the new 
bridge to Howland Island.

After viewing the 100s of thousands of SNOW GEESE at Cayuga Lake State Park, 
after my sister left to return to Fairport, I drove north to Carncross Rd. to 
see if I could find a Short Eared Owl. (BTW, many 1000s of Snow geese left the 
lake and flew sort of NW by 5 PM yesterday; the numbers on the water seemed 
less than 3 hours earlier).

It got very cold walking on Carncross Rd. and some of the gusts of wind out of 
the west were so strong I almost got blown off the berm near the new bridge.  
Also, a couple huge farm dump trucks appeared to be taking soil into Howland 
Island. They stirred up a lot of dust.

After walks up and down the road, I had to keep getting back in the car to warm 
up and wolf down my supper, while keeping an eye peeled for an owl.

I was finally rewarded well after sunset, when a Short Eared Owl appeared right 
near my car over the field to the north of the road (field has tamped down 
grass and reeds, not cornstalks).
It flew and hovered, back and forth over the field, while I leaned over the 
passenger seat with my binocs looking out the open window. It was sihouetted 
against the sky that still had enough light to see its colors. Beautiful!
After 2-3 minutes of watching the owl, I got out of the car as quietly as I 
could, but a vehicle went by just then, and I did not see the owl after that.

What a great day of birding!

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl @ Morgan road

[Gian Dodici]

Based on intelligence I received from Mark Chao, I stopped by the DEC
facility on Morgan Road, just north of Savannah, yesterday in hopes of
seeing short-eared owls.  Unfortunately,  I did not make it up there
until 6:20  (Mark reported them being active up to an hour before
sunset) but was rewarded with great views of at least three
short-eared owls.  Two were prowling the vegetation and provided
numerous close views, albeit with failing light.  One bird was on the
ice, possible with prey but it was far enough out that I couldn't be
sure.  I had not previously had the opportunity to hear them
vocalizing like they were last night.

There were spectacular numbers of waterfowl in flight, in fields, and
in any open water throughout the Northern Montezuma Wildlife
Management Area.  It was quite an evening!

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl, Ithaca Airport

[Jay McGowan]

Just had a SHORT-EARED OWL foraging around over the fields at the Ithaca
Airport viewed from halfway down Snyder Road. I first spotted it perched on
a small pole in the field. It changed poles twice, soared around a bit,
then headed off across the road into the woods. This was at about
5:46-5:51pm.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl in Ovid, different location

[Marty Schlabach]

This evening about 6pm I saw one short-eared owl on co rd 139, just west of rt 
96, also known as Happy Landing.  I had just turned onto co rd 139 heading west 
and saw a large bird fly over the road ahead of me.  I pulled over and had good 
views over the fields on the south side of the road for the few moments I had 
available, but could not stay long.

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl Trip

[Ann Mitchell]

On a very cold, blustery day seventeen brave people, six being members of
the Cornell Student Bird Club, joined me in search of Short-eared Owls.
Because we started at 3:00 P.M. we had at least two hours before sunset.
 We carpooled to Myers Point. It was extremely windy with high waves to see
much in the water. Many of us scoped the area and saw only three species of
gulls and Mallards. We next went to Ladoga to get out of the wind and hoped
to more species of waterfowl. Stepping out of his car, Paul Anderson
commented as to how balmy it felt.  We scanned for awhile. The outcome
was a flotilla of Coots, Mallards, two Black Ducks and two Common Loons.

We then drove to the end of Scofield Road in Lansing where Gary Kohlenberg
and I saw an owl two days previously.  Nothing was being seen because it
was really early, so thirteen of us walked to the end of the road to keep
warm.  It was a extremely quiet for birds.  As the sun became lower in the
sky, we did see three flocks of Canada Geese flying south.  Eventually, it
became dark enough to see some planets - Venus and Jupiter. Someone put a
scope on Jupiter, and we all saw four moons.  Then, our moon rose.  It was
hugh and orange. We gawked at it. We waited until dark to see a Short-eared
Owl, but to no avail.  It was disappointing, but everyone still had a great
time.  Many said they would go next year. I want to say thanks to everyone
who joined me on the trip. It was great!

One last thing - Bob McGuire composed this haiku before the trip was over:
 High hopes, Seven scopes, No owls.

Good Birding,
Ann Mitchell

[cayugabirds-l] Short-eared Owl, Myers Pt.

[Tim Lenz]

Jeff Gerbracht and I had a Short-eared Owl at Myers this afternoon.  When
we left it was sitting halfway up a tall spruce tree at the north end of
the Marina.  Although the tree itself is on private property, the bird was
visible from the Marina.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl

[RICHARD JILL WOOD]

I was one of many goofy birders that saw the NECO in the fall of 2005 in 
Maryland.  In fact, the day I went with Winger West to see it, I was on the 
phone with my wife, Jill, who was in California at the time.  She was telling 
me about the Hermit Warbler she was looking at.  I said, You saw a Hermit 
Warbler?  Rick Sussman, another Maryland birder standing near by, heard me and 
asked, who the heck are you talking to and where are they?

Things like yard lists and such bring up such wonderful memories.  We had a 
Golden Eagle in our yard in Hyrum, Utah, one day when we came home from 
shopping in Salt Lake City.

Good birding,
Richard

 That's right, the yard list is the exception. For most geographical  
 entities, whether abstract  (nation, province, state, township, city,  
 village, school district...) or physical (like the Cayuga basin), a  
 bright line is presumed, and your bird is either inside or its  
 outside the line. But the yard is more whimsical: its boundary  
 expands and contracts with weather, lighting, and the availability of  
 sanctioned instruments (which might include optics, sky-microphones,  
 helium balloons, etc.), and so your bird is always in!

  For the record, I have seen a Neotropic Cormorant on the Potomac.   
  He was in the Maryland side, however.

  A yard bird is anything you identify by hearing or seeing it while  
  you are on your property.  The bird can be as far as you can see or  
  hear.  Congratulations.
