Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Osprey
14:47pm: I had a second sighting of a northbound Osprey over the Flood Control Channel past my place. The first bird went straight and steady about treetop level, but this time the bird was lower and more erratic, and it gave 4 loud chirps just before it came into view. Behaviorally it seemed different, but I suppose it could be the same bird passing by again but for some reason more excited. I was, too. - - Dave Nutter > On Mar 27, 2021, at 1:26 PM, Dave Nutter wrote: > > 12:05pm: I just saw my First-Of-Year Osprey flying slowly north past my house > while it stared down at the Flood Control Channel, clearly ready to take a > meal while traveling, whether the trip was local or long-distance. > -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Osprey
At around 11am there was an Osprey, possibly the same, sitting on a tree at jetty woods along the inlet, across from the Treman marina mouth. I was alerted to its presence by its call, which was clearly prompted by my approach along the trail right below it, as I looked up to see it staring down at me swinging its head side to side in mild annoyance. It didn't take off. Earlier I met Sandy at Renwick woods who said she'd seen one also. Also earlier at Renwick woods I heard a winter wren's song, not far south of the northeast entrance to the woods. The first few bouts of the song were unusual in that they were short, lasting only about a second, in contrast to their normal strung out phrases lasting up to five seconds or more. I wondered whether it could've been a starling mimic. Interestingly, those songs seem to have prompted a response from a nearby Carolina wren who started belting out its song rather insistently, it seemed to me, as if to remind the winter wren of its place in the pecking order. Later when I was along fall creek I heard a/the winter wren song again, more distantly and from approximately the same direction, and I want to say longer this time.
