Re: [cayugabirds-l] FW: Upcoming Raptor Survey Dates (No Snowy, but 2 Short-ears)
So, no Short-eards at Van Dyne Spoor Rd? And the Snowy Owl seems to have left after a brief visit. Could it be that the prey base (voles/ mice) has collapsed this year?

[cayugabirds-l] Iceland Gulls at Stevenson Rd
I had two ICELAND GULLS at the Cornell compost facility this morning. One was a first-cycle youngster with an all-black bill (just a bit of pale at the base of the lower mandible), pale and patterned tertials and tail feathers, and a fair amount of dusky in the wingtips. The other was a 2-year old with a mostly pale bill with a black ring near the tip, some silver in the mantle, and fairly dusky wingtips. It was a more robust bird than the petite 1st-cycle, nearly as big as the Herring Gulls. I have put a few photos at the end of http://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Birds2011.
