I stepped out a few minutes ago to see what the dusk might bring. The local Barred Owls are quiet. I was looking right at the top of a balsam fir outlined against the lingering light in the west when a Great Horned Owl flew up and perched on the spire. Watch out, cats!
Several of our big year-round bats are out flying. Think I'll go down to the pond, try to get a count, and maybe float around for a while under the night sky. One song-leader among our local coyote pack howls just like a wolf! That sets all the others to yipping and singing in proper coyote fashion, but the wolf-howl is just an amazing thing! -Geo Kloppel -- 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/ --
