RE: [cayugabirds-l] hurt hawk

2019-12-20 Thread Donna Lee Scott
Oh that is great! thanks for letting me know.

Ironically right after I sent the wildlife clinic info to Marc, a Sharpie 
slammed into my dining room deck window, I think with his feet; big noise, but 
no puff marks on glass.
It may have been after a Junco in the mass of trumpet vines on the deck railing.
I watched it as it recovered on the deck , hopped up into the trumpet vines, 
rested a minute, and eventually flew away to the north.

Two days ago I had a Coopers Hawk checking out the feeders, but luckily it just 
hung out in one of my big trees for a while and then flew off.

Hungry times.

To help the hawk.

I don't know if they come get injured birds.

If you think you can catch it yourself,
put on strong leather gloves, bring a medium-sized blanket and a closeable big 
cardboard box.

Throw the blanket  over the hawk and carefully gather it up inside blanket and 
put hawk into box.
Remove blanket if you can.
Close flaps.

If the bird has to be brought to Cornell, They will most likely meet you at the 
Small Animal Clinic next to the B Parking lot off NY RT. 366
by the south side of north end of Cornell campus.

Good luck and thanks,

Subject: RE:[cayugabirds-l] massive duck flock on SW of Cayuga lake

Good Morning,

I am hoping this reaches the correct person(s)

I work at the Arnot Ogden Medical Center in Elmira.  A colleague just reported 
that a hawk (maybe coopers I have not seen it) flew into our building.  He has 
been observing it for a bit and it is moving its neck, tail and one wing.  The 
other wing is extended and thus maybe broken.  I have contacted our local 
nature center (Tanglewood) but they do not rescue birds.  I called someone in 
Montour Falls that the person at Tanglewood gave me and left a voice mail 
message.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks to all,
Marc Rustici

There's a large mass of ducks on the SW of Cayuga lake. 
https://ebird.org/checklist/S62465727

I don't think I have never seen such a massive group, and can't count it. Is it 
more than five thousand Redheads?

It's visible by scope and bins, from the "Overlook, Rte. 89 N of Hog Hole" 
along house numbers like 830-840.

Number 841 has a big parking lot with good views, but trees always block part 
of the MASSIVE flock.

Redheads are 95%+, interspersed with a few other ducks and one lone Cormorant.

Now back to grading exams
