Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon update please

2018-01-19 Thread Nicholas Kachala 
The reason that species are blocked and hidden as "sensitive" in eBird
could be from a multitude of reasons. In terms of the Gyrfalcon, it is a
bird at risk for capture and trade by falconers. Exposing the location of
such a prized species through public records could spell trouble for the
bird. Yes, this gives birders a disadvantage, but the hope is that it saves
birds from danger. Many endangered species, especially in Asia and South
America are blocked as sensitive to protect them from the illegal pet bird
trade.

Snowy Owls actually make more sense to block over a Gyrfalcon, any day. Way
too much stress is put on them, at least for those which show up closer to
more densely populated cities.

Any thoughts on changing Gyrfalcon in eBird? Reasons?

Thanks!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon west of Canoga this morning

​Yes Dave you did mention north  in the message, it was my brain that missed 
reading that word. I read that when I re-read the message second time!

 I was going to mention that but I forgot as I was doing something else.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon west of Canoga this morning

When I turned from Seyboldt onto Stahl Rd at 10:46am, Tim Lenz was still there, 
recently joined by Garrett MacDonald and Rose Swift, and they had a scope aimed 
at the bird, which had moved from a roadside pole to a tree in the northern 
part of the farmyard, about 1/6 mile from us. The gray GYRFALCON was very 
cooperative, and sat quietly, looking around, bobbing its head, preening, and 
glaring at the occasional crow which had the nerve to fly close. After several 
minutes, and for no obvious reason, it flew NE about 1/3 mile, crossing 
Seyboldt Rd so low it had to swoop up to avoid a passing car, and then perched 
atop a utility pole, where it stayed a few more minutes. Then it flew NE then 
NW slowly climbing and occasionally circling until it was hard for me to 
discern through binoculars, but with directions I was able to refind it through 
Garrett's scope. After I handed off the scope, he said the bird stooped, then 
leveled off going westerly, and the last he saw, it appeared to possibly be 
about to land. This was far to our north, somewhere in the vicinity of the 
Fingerlakes Regional Airport, but when I drove around that area and near the 
Lott Farm I did not find it. Perhaps it found the gulls attractive at the 
Seneca Meadows landfill, but I did not go there. Or maybe it was on the ground 
eating a Ring-necked Pheasant, of which I saw 10 in the neighborhood.

This was a massive falcon, so broad in the body as to make the head appear 
small compared to its more familar congeners. The rounded tail was considerably 
longer than the sharply-pointed folded wingtips. The plumage was a lovely light 
gray all above, with numerous narrow white lines barring the tail. The back 
feathers also had very fine white edges or points on them. It had a complete 
helmet of similar pale gray, highlighted by the white throat and by a narrow 
bar of white just above the light-colored, black-tipped bill. There was also a 
narrow white horizontal mark on either side of the nape. The facial pattern was 
very subtle, but there was a a slightly darker gray vertical mark extending 
down in front of the eye and a narrow slightly darker line extending back from 
the eye. I never saw the underside completely but did see some narrow dark 
barring near the base of the undertail coverts and on the flanks which were 
otherwise white. When it flew away it showed a white flash from the underside 
of the primaries on the bottom of each downstroke, but this was well in from 
the wingtips.

This was only the second time I've seen a Gyrfalcon well enough to count it, 
and the first time in the Cayuga Lake Basin. Many thanks to Tim for getting the 
word out and to Garrett  Rose for sharing the scope (mine is off being 
repaired).

In addition to Tim (who left before the falcon did), Garrett,  Rose, there was 
also another couple who stayed in their car whom I did not recognize, and a 
fellow from downstate who was in Weedsport when he got the message on 
Cayugabirds-L and arrived in time to see the bird from Seyboldt or Cemetery 
Road. A car of Cornell students was also cruising around the Fingerlakes 
Regional Airport when I was, and later Ann Mitchell  Gary Kohlenberg went 
looking, but I assume by their silence that they did not share my good fortune.

By the way I DID say which way it flew (see below). I often find that 
re-reading text messages is helpful, as I have also overlooked information when 
relaying a text alert to the listserve.

From Tim Lenz text to CayugaRBA, 9:28am:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Gyrfalcon in Fayette

2014-03-15 Thread Brad Walker 
Hi all, Tim and I last spotted the bird flying down Stahl Road, north of
the field with the geese and ducks. There are still waterfowl in the area,
but a good number dispersed. If we find the bird again, we'll post.

 Bob McGuire and ten others on the bird club field trip are watching what they

 confirm it.
