I just returned from a long walk on the eastern portion of the east
Ithaca Recreation Way. As I reached my half-way point at Judd Falls
Road I heard the four-note call of a Northern Saw-whet Owl repeated
several times. I returned to my cay and drove back to Maple Ave,
parking in the pull-off where the Rec Way joins Maple Ave (near the
water tower). This was about 30 minutes later. I got out and played a
series of toots on my penny whistle and the owl answered - once from
about 50 feet away (from atop one of the horse enclosures), and then
flew over, tooting four notes again. It was headed into the cemetery
and did not respond any more.
