Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl near Treman Marina

2021-01-20 Thread Nancy Cusumano
I saw this bird yesterday, sitting in hogs hole on the ground, and then
later on a tree just at the point of hogs hole and treman marina. I looked
this morning but did not refind but agree he is probably around. I got 1
decent pic which is in ebrid. It is a heavily barred youngster.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl near Treman Marina

2021-01-20 Thread Allison Myers
My brother, who works at Treman Marina at the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake 
in Ithaca, reports a sighting of a Snowy Owl along the lakeshore this morning.  
The owl may or may not be easily visible from the marina, as he says he only 
saw her/him after walking west along the lake shore (where the low water level 
has exposed some of the lake bottom) "until the large roadside ditch joins the 
lake," near the first house on Route 89.  He was able to get a decent 
cell-phone photo of the owl in flight, and another -- from a distance, but 
still recognizable -- of her/him sitting on the shore.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Gyrfalcon & Bald Eagles

2020-12-31 Thread jrudman1
At around 12:30PM we saw a Snowy Owl sitting on the ground next to runway
marker "C" at the Finger Lakes Regional Airport.  It would fly a short
distance from the runway each time a plane landed but then would soon return
to the same spot.  We were able to see the owl from Chadwick Road and from
Airport Road but it was a pretty distant look from either vantage point.

 

At around 1:40PM we saw a Gyrfalcon at the Seneca Stone Corporation quarry.
While looking southwest from the corner of Hoster and Stahl Roads we saw the
Gyrfalcon perched atop the nearest large mound of rocks.  We had it in our
scope for about 25 minutes and a half dozen or so people got a good look at
it. 

 

At 3:20PM three bald eagles flew low over the parking lot next to Cayuga
Lake State Park's park office.  Two flew east towards Cayuga Lake and one
flew westward.  None of the eagles had white heads/tails.

 

Carole & Jim Rudman

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl info

2018-12-07 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard

Fellow birders:

I was so appalled& angered by the bad, stupid & dangerous behavior of 
birders along Martin Rd. last yr. that I deliberately left locality 
information out of my post yesterday. By today, the owl could be most 
anywhere but for those of you who know about the airport, Lott Farms & 
surrounding areas south of Seneca Falls, the snowy was along Martin Rd. 
on a post, looking all the world like a light globe in the setting 
sun.   Becky got pictures. Whether someone else saw the owl & posted it 
to E-bird, I don't know because I don't "do" E-bird.


If someone wants to notify Joe Brin about the sighting or add it to the 
FOY record, please do. Becky & I were just thrilled to be able to see 
the owl so clearly in the very short time we had to swing down that way. 
Where it might have had the magic marker markings put on top of the  
head is a mystery but last yr. someone was trapping Snowies & marking 
them so they weren't being captured & re-tallied.


Fritzie

At 3:45 today an unusually white Snowy Owl was sitting in what I assume 
is the same area? close to the base of the cluster of metal silos on the 
west side of Rte 414.  Definitely a very handsome bird!

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl lingers, +

2018-03-23 Thread John Confer
Karen and I went around the lake for the first time in maybe a year. We had 
three birding goals.

1) Enjoy the waterfowl migration

2) Find a Snowy Owl, FYO for us.

3) Confirm Merlin and nest


1) That was easy.

2) 2 PM, 23 March. SNOW north of airport about 50 m north of Chadwick Rd., and 
about 500 m northeast of the end of the runway. Creamy white bird - beautiful, 
without head marking indicating previous banding. Bird was in some stumps and 
disturbed soil where a fence line of trees was being removed.

3) Thanks to one hint, I found a male Merlin near a prbable nest. The male hung 
around as others have done when I knew thay had an active nest, doing what I 
call "nest guarding". I appreciate input from others. I minimize trips to a 
nest to data collection, and do not share location of nests until eggs have 
hatched and the birds almost certainly will not desert due to humans watching. 
Thanks for the input from several.


John

Re: [cayugabirds-l] snowy owl Thorpe Road

2018-01-14 Thread Candace Cornell
It's great to hear of live Snowy Owls being seen. So many young ones are
dying of starvation this year. There is a steep learning curve for young
predatory birds hunting prey and many are not making it.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Ovid

2017-12-20 Thread Marty Schlabach
About 4:45pm today Mary Jean and I were driving along Center Rd, in Ovid, 
looking for Short Eared Owls.  Unfortunately we didn't see any, but Mary Jean 
spotted a Snowy Owl flying as it landed on a power line pole along Center Rd, 
about midway between CR129 and the town dump.  We watched it for about 10 
minutes and it was still on the pole when we drove on.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl Romulus (yesterday)

2017-12-01 Thread Daniel Graham
I realize this is too late to be of much use to folks but there was a
Snowy Owl on the ground affording great views about 50 yards south of
Yale Farm Rd in Romulus yesterday (11/30) at around 3:30pm:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/42.7912115,-76.870934//@42.7951606,-76.8710626,3575m/data=!3m1!1e3

This location has been a fairly reliable area to see Snowies in recent
years (but not last year). There were also thousands of Snow Geese on
the north side of the road yesterday.

This morning at 8 am there was no obvious owl and only a handful of
geese but I travel this way frequently and will report any other
sightings promptly.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl continues at Goose Haven

2017-11-19 Thread ra...@minetor.com
At 2:55 pm, the Snowy Owl is sitting on top of a black trailer down the private 
road from Goose Haven, on route 89 across from Schoolhouse Road. We asked 
permission to walk down the dirt road a bit for photos, and the gentlemen 
inside said it was fine to go in as far as the first ditch (it’s really muddy 
beyond that). The bird was very accommodating.

why none were in the area now, when I spotted it - thanks, Marty!

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl Rt. 96a Geneva/Waterloo area

2017-01-16 Thread Daniel Graham
There was a heavily streaked Snowy Owl on Rt. 96a at the height of
land northwest of Kime Rd. on top of a silo today at 4:30pm.

There were also several thousand Snow Geese in flight a few miles
south of the owl, around half in a group heading due east, and the
rest closer to Cayuga Lake in a group heading due north.

Great views with Joe Wetmore just now of one snowy owl on the ground in the
field on the south side of Martin Rd. We parked just in front of the gate
of the service road in front of CASE-H, halfway between the farm  silos and

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl

2017-01-06 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard

What a beautiful day to be out. Cold, but nice otherwise.

Is it late to have pied-bill grebes? Daughter, Becky, & I saw one in 
close at Van Cleef Lake in Seneca Falls this afternoon. Saw about 20 
each of hooded & common mergs there along with mallards & gulls & about 
300 Canadas. Didn't take time to try to do an exact count as we were 
headed to the airport to look for the owls. She spotted the newly banded 
one on a snow pile between the last 2 buildings along the runway & 
another atop the tallest silo at Lott Farms. One that was in the 
cornfield along the runway may or may not have been another or could 
have been the newly banded one, scared by the planes with pilots 
practicing landing & taking off.


Struck out on the gyrfalcon. Sun was wrong to look for it or the shrike.

We also saw 2 female harriers & 1 male hunting in the field along the 
runway. Ran out of light to go look for the shrike.


Last Fri. (30 Dec. 2016) when we were leaving the airport & going out on 
414 we saw thousands of snow geese overhead heading towards Cayuga Lake. 
Quite an impressive sight.


This afternoon we noted unknown swans, probably tundras, overhead & on 
the water between Cayuga & Mud Lock.


Has anyone checked down Genoa way for snowy owls? Becky found three down 
that way about 3 winters ago.


Water level on Factory St. pond is higher than I've ever seen. Mill pond 
level is also up. I have seen evidence of sharp teeth of a beaver along 
Mill. More gadwall are on Mill than we've seen in many yrs.. Redheads 
are there in increasing numbers along with some buffles & A. wigeon.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl

2017-01-06 Thread Whitings
Hi All,

The bird that was attacked by the Gyrfalcon was one of the birds that has been 
banded. It has a really dark head, but upon viewing it on the computer, I could 
easily see a color difference in the dark head from the body. A check with a 
friend who is familiar with the banding process confirmed it as a banded bird 
which is marked with a black magic marker so it will be recognized as one 
already banded.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl - Not

2016-10-27 Thread Carl Steckler
Having seen this bird yesterday I can well understand why the 
misdentification.  When looking through a 600mm camera lens from a 
distance it did seem to have the markings of a Snowy. It was only after 
seeing it through a scope did I see the red tail and head.  Without 
these two positive identifiers I can well understand someone, even an 
experienced birder, making the wrong identification. I do not think this 
hawk is an albino though as it did not completely lack pigmentation.  
Leucism seems to be more likely as there was not a total lack of 
colorization, it plainly had the markings of a Red-tail, just with 
mostly white feathers.

I remember after moving to Danby in 2000 that I mistook the now-deceased

discover my error. That bird was whiter than any Snowy I have ever seen. I

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl - Not

2016-10-27 Thread W. Larry Hymes
Just a little clarification.  Seeing this bird at a distance without 
binocs could leave the manager of the farm (a non-birder) with the 
impression that this was indeed a Snowy Owl.  This is especially so, 
since Snowys have shown up on the farm on rare occasions.  I did suggest 
to him that it might be an "albino" Red-tail, but he was reasonably 
certain in his mind that he was seeing a Snowy.  Thus my report to 
Cayugabirds, and Sara Jane's rare bird alert.


I thought this was much too early, but I don't know the earliest first 
arrival date in the fall/early winter of Snowy in the basin.  However, I 
do have a vague recollection of Snowys being seen as early as November.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl=strikingly white Redtail Hawk

2016-10-26 Thread AB Clark
I checked out the Snowy Owl report and found the bird after getting conflicting 
directions from Thompson Veg farm workers.  It is actually a strkingly 
beautiful Red-Tail Hawk, with markings that make no genetic sense to me.  It 
has a brilliant adult-red tail, lots of dark streaking in head, a nice sharp 
breast line of dark feathers, and everything else is snowy white, not 
leucistic/tan, but white.  No wonder it was mistaken for a Snowy Owl.

Currently perched in the tallest bare tree along Fall Creek as it winds E from 
Herman Rd, which extends S from Fall Creek at the Veg Farm, connecting you with 
38 going to Dryden.  The tree is 2 bends of the Creek, a tall fairly full oak 
next to a poplar?, a stand-out bare tree next to the Creek.  Bird can be hard 
to see, and was just now on the SE part of the tree.  I got looks from along 
Herman Rd, and from the crossing point of the Creek, you can actually see its 
head.  From farther back N, you can see the lower body.  At least that is how I 
left it..and it seems pretty solid right now.

No crows are bothering it, and one normal Red-tail did a circle over it earlier 
but didn’t stop. It preened and may be just watching for prey.

I got some distant pictures, enough to remove doubts about owl vs hawk.

That would be just E of Ed Hill Rd, on Fall Creek rd.  Heading out there now.  
Don’t be fooled by the wooden sculptured owl that is on the right, leaving

This Snowy Owl continues in the same spot today. Didn't see the one on
Martin Rd. but it was raining pretty hard and tough to see. On Seybolt
Rd, there was also a male Northern Harrier.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl and the wierd Turkey

2015-12-13 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi all,

I too made a journey to Seneca Falls to see the Snowy Owls. It is amazing, I 
think it is the fourth year the Snowy owls have showed up in the same vicinity.


I did see the Snowy Owl and Kevin McGown on Seybolt road. It was rather at some 
 distance. SO I thought may be the one on martin Road would be closer. Actually 
I am not even sure if I saw one. At a very far distance among the cows, I 
thought I saw the owl. But did not see it move. So I am not hundred percent 
sure if it was an owl or not.


On the way on Seybolt, near Martin road, I saw a bird atop a bush, I was 
excited and was hoping it would be a No. Shrike. But as I  pulled my car closer 
to it, I found  it had round head and breast  I knew I was looking at a No. 
Mockingbird, which was mocking a shrike.


Then at the corner near Canoga Rd, I saw a single turkey. I had seen it when I 
went towards Martin road earlier. As I saw it again in the same location I 
thought I will watch it. Initially, it hid behind the trees and occasionally 
tried to watch me like a peek a boo game. As I waited it became bold.  I pulled 
 my car on the wrong side of the road closer to the turkey. It looked like a 
young first year bird. The turkey walked up to me and said something in its own 
language and started looking at its reflection on my car. I did not want him to 
peck my car, so I put my hand out to shoo it away. It thought I am feeding it 
or something equivalent so it came closer to my window and raised it neck to 
see me from the window. It hung around my car and picking something off my car 
tires. It would not move away form the car but often went to the front of the 
car. So I had to get out of my car and scare it around the car to the back of 
the car, so I could drive away. But it was not afraid of me, but just walked 
ahead of me looking expectantly.  I felt sorry for the lone turkey. Probably he 
wanted someone to do turkey talk.


 May be Gladys knows the history of this turkey, whether it was raised by hand 
on the farm.


And at home around 10.00 am I heard a Raven croak above my house. It hung 
around for quite sometime in my neighborhood.


I thought of stopping for the Pacific Loon, but as there was a screening of 
Downton Abbey in Cinemapolis, I decided to skip the stop. I enjoyed the first 
episode of the season 6. It Is very different to watch on a big screen versus 
22 inches screen.


Cheers

Meena

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Location/Correction/ NOT Lake Road, Cayuga

2015-03-23 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
Laura Stenzler  my daughter, Becky, are_just south of Pumpkin Hill 
Bistro_ (/south of Aurora/) looking at the owl sitting atop a snow drift 
in the field on the_west side of Rte. 90_. The co-ordinates given below 
are correct BUT the location Cayuga, NY is not.

Becky said a row of spruce trees is just south of the  apple orchard  
the owl is between the spruces  Lake Rd. that goes down to Long Point SP.

Hope this clarifies the  location for anyone mystified by Lake Rd. 
fields, Cayuga since there is no Lake _ROAD_ in Cayuga  no fields are 
along Lake St. in Cayuga.

Becky said the owl is easily seen from Rte. 90 but the west wind is 
really bitter.

2015-03-23 Thread Dave Nutter
The eBird location ..., Cayuga, New York refers to a place in Cayuga County, 
New York State. EBird recognizes counties and states and adds them to all U.S. 
locations, even if you already use them in the name you give to a location. 
EBird does not sort out other municipalities to add to the name, but you may 
use them in the name you choose.

At 10:30 today there was a bright white SNOWY OWL west of Rt 96a,

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl continues at Seneca Falls airport

2015-01-11 Thread Scott Haber
Brad Walker and I just viewed the Snowy Owl at the Finger Lakes Regional 
Airport in Seneca Falls.

As of 915am, the bird was east of the parking lot, just across the runway.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl at Hancock Airport

2015-01-01 Thread Mickey Scilingo
I saw 2 SNOWY OWLS at the Syracuse Airport this morning around 9:30.  The first 
was a lightly barred individual perched on a light post alongside the East-West 
runway straight out from the public observation area.  The second was a more 
heavily barred bird sitting on a long snow bank on the north side of the fence 
near the overflow parking area.  I also saw a PEREGRINE FALCON flying over the 
parking garage.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl at Hancock Airport

2014-12-31 Thread gmail
I took an unsuccessful lap around near sunset today, but I am decidedly 
amateurish at this.
On that note, I come from a background of photography ( but have a healthy 
desire to not disturb the wildlife). This list serve is great, but as someone 
who lives just east of Syracuse, it's not actionable given driving distances 
most days. I'd love to find a place nearby that i could visit with camera on a 
regular basis with a reasonable expectation of seeing something interesting. 
Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of a similar list for Onondaga 
county? The creek walk by the mall is ok but I've heard enough stories to be a 
little wary of taking high dollar camera equipment there regularly.
Thanks!

Nearer Rt 222 than to rt 90. 
Just as Gary Kohl. left after viewing SNOWY OWL from his car, I heard RAVENS 
approaching!
2 croaked constantly as they flew low over the Snowy Owl a few times. Snowy 
stayed put, but craned its head around watching Ravens, who have now left.  
Now owl has flown to a fence post south of field where it sat for a long time.

The road represented as South St in Google Maps is Center Road on the ground.  
Mapquest seems to have this one right.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Lower Lake Rd.

2014-01-20 Thread Jay McGowan
Apparently Tim Lenz and friends had a SNOWY OWL on the ice off Lower Lake
Road in Seneca County a bit ago:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S16447317

Chris Wood reported a Hermit Thrush from Monkey South this morning as well.
I check Hogs Hole this morning, but the front hit just as I was starting to
scan the lake, so I didn't see too much. The leucistic Redhead was still in
the flock offshore, though--very cool-looking bird, an ivory-and-tan
colored duck in the midst of black and rust.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Lower Lake Rd.

2014-01-20 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

I was driving before, so I figured I'd wait until we stopped for ice cream
to post. This owl was just north of Wolffie's Restaurant right on the
shore. It was sitting next to a little hump and a frozen buoy.

Sorry for the delay. I figured enough owls were being posted that it
wouldn't hurt to wait a while.

Good birding,

Brad Walker

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl, Stewart Park

2014-01-18 Thread Jay McGowan
Ken, Tim, Liisa Mobley, and I watched the owl for a while after Ken found
it from Stewart Park. We were fortunate enough to see it take off at one
point in pursuit of a Redhead (departed at 5:09PM). Although it was
unsuccessful in this chase, it continued flying to land on a dock north of
East Shore Park, where it sat for a few minutes before flying back out onto
the ice edge at 5:18PM.

 The SNOWY OWL was still present between 5:00 and 5:06pm when I scoped it
 from north of Treman Marina, but it was gone by 5:35pm when I returned from
 checking the lake. It was a dark, heavily barred bird, a conspicuous lump
 on the ice (and a prize Luddite List bird for me - Thanks, Ken!). Maybe the
 late hour was a factor, but I thought it was telling that I saw no other
 birds on the entire ice shelf. Maybe they recognized this rarity as a
 predator. I looked around in the dusk from 5:35 to 5:40pm but all I saw was
 a fox out on the ice floes which blocked the Inlet between Jetty Woods and
 the marina. The Inlet was free of ice elsewhere both upstream (south to at
 least the Octopus) and down (along the white lighthouse jetty), and the red
 lighthouse breakwater was an island, making it safe (from foxes, anyway)
 for the 2 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS which sat preening near the north end.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl freeville

2014-01-16 Thread Gian Dodici
I only get the digest so don't know if this has been reported today. At
3:45pm The SNOWY OWL was perched on the same post that I saw her(?) on last
week.  While I was watching she flew and landed on a utility pole on the
south side of Fall Creek Road next to the Cornell barns.
