Late this afternoon there were 9 TVs circling low (tree top height) at the
intersection of Falls Rd and Cayuga View Rd  north of Taug. S.P.

A little bit north on Cayuga View there were 2 Killdeers next to the road
between the cornfields, probable nesters based on past year's experience.

I keep my cats indoors. It keeps area wildlife safe from them and them 
safe from area wildlife (including speeding cars and roving dogs, by 
some of which [dogs], I have been attacked while biking.)

But my neighbors let both cats and dogs go all over and do whatever.

[cayugabirds-l] TVs and a bone mystery at Asbury

2014-03-20 Thread Chris R. Pelkie
The Turkey Vultures have been reappearing in numbers this week over my house 
and woods and landing in the pines on Asbury Rd just east of the cemetery 
(corner of Triphammer and Asbury) and occasionally in the neighbors’ large 
pines next to our sunroom.

We have had resident pair or two all winter.
Monday, there were 6 birds.
Tues there were 14.
Wed there were 25-30 (couldn’t count as they were boiling around).

I had a good look at the half-white winged (left wing) individual for the first 
time since last year. I thought I saw a spot of white on its breast or belly 
and at first thought it was carrying something white. Haven’t seen it yet again 
to resolve what I was seeing. It may have just been tipped at a weird angle at 
first glance, so I was seeing the wing tip.

Tue I saw 2 cavorting in a raven-like way: very close coordinated flying with 
sharp turns, almost wing tips touching. Never noticed TUVU doing this before so 
very intriguing. Not sure if that is a courting pair or a rivalry show-off pair.

I really like watching these guys; they clearly are having a ball flying in 
harsh windy conditions like yesterday’s. They do some crazy Ivan stunts like 
fly really low and really fast down the creek bed through the trees or really 
low over my house and adjacent trees, then shoot up in the air. Some were being 
pushed sideways by the wind, but always under control (fortunately, to date, 
none have smashed into my sunroom windows like the passerines). I think of them 
as the skateboarders of the bird world: taking nutty chances to show off and 
just have fun.

They all look pretty healthy too: clean bright plumage and bright red face skin 
on the whole; only one missing primary on one bird of the many observed. I 
wonder if the ‘hard’ winter led to more food sources: i have certainly noticed 
decaying flesh smell on several recent walks at home and SSW (and checked my 
boots to be sure it wasn’t me). Probably critters being exposed as the snow 
melts. My dog has turned up several Red Fox caches under the snow.

A few days ago, I found a beef leg bone piece (about 5 inches long, 4 in 
diameter) that we had given the dog, then disposed of in the compost heap when 
she was done getting all the marrow out. The bone was stashed up in the crotch 
of a small branch, 6’ off the ground on a large horizontally growing box elder 
that I pass under when we do our walk. It stayed there a couple days and is 
back on the ground again now (not directly under where it would have fallen). 
Raccoon? Opossum (we had one pass through the yard in the last few days)? Fox 
(they can climb trees and this would be an esp. easy place for a fox to get 
to)? Raptor (we have a resident Cooper’s Hawk but that seems like a silly thing 
for it to fool with)? Corvid? There was no meat or marrow on this bone, so I 
can’t imagine what critter thought it was worth the effort to cache. I think it 
must be too heavy and unwieldy for either squirrel species in the neighborhood.

5 or 6 TVs circling at my window level just 10 to 15 away on occasions.
They look beautiful!

While driving up the lower portion of Sand Bank Rd the last two days, there 
has been a Red-tailed Hawk feeding on a deer carcass right next to the 
road. I can't recall ever seeing a Red-tail feed on a deer carcass before.

[cayugabirds-l] TVS

2011-01-15 Thread Meena Haribal
On Thursday morning as I was entering Tompkins County, first bird I saw was a 
low flying TV. Shortly after that a Raven flew across somewhere near Irish 
Settlement (or now Minneaha) road junction on Rt 79.
A TV had been circling in front of my office window yesterday morning.
Today morning as I was heading to BTI, the East Hill Am. Kestrel was sitting on 
the electric line in gorgeous light. I guess he has decided not to migrate 
south anymore.
Just for the record

[cayugabirds-l] TVs, RTHs

2010-12-29 Thread Laura Stenzler
Hi
 Today (Wed) there was one Turkey Vulture over the mall on Triphammer Rd. and 3 
more at the Pheasant Farm on Game Farm Rd.  At around 2:30 this afternoon I 
counted an incredible 82 Red-tailed Hawks at the Pheasant farm, and I'm sure I 
missed at least another 10 which were not visible from where I was parked on 
Game Farm Rd.  Wow!
