Saw for 5 to 10 minutes flying low around freese road. Awesome views for SFO 
group. Bird then eventually took off and flew north. No vesper sparrow today 
here.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Short-eared owl

2011-03-31 Thread 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!

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.

Note that a state bird is different.  For example, if you are in Maryland and 
you see a Neotropic Cormorant on the other side of the Potomac in Virginia, the 
Cormorant is NOT a Maryland bird.

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