FW: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl

2012-01-01 Thread Glenn Wilson
I am the one who said it has been seen for a week.

The ONLY time I saw it was yesterday 12/31/11.

I said that because I’ve been watching reports posted on this list for “about a 
week”.

So please don’t use my “week” as gospel!

Ok. Another TV Lansing. I guess these are not that unusual in January in this 
area! We rarely get them before the end of February in the southern tier!  Even 
in this mild winter none have turned up down there yet!   Good luck to all 
today. Happy 2012!   Dave Nicosia.

[cayugabirds-l] bat

2012-01-01 Thread Regi Teasley

Hi Folks,

Though it's not a bird, I thought readers would be interested to 
know we saw a bat (little brown?) flying around hawking insects (if 
there were any) last evening (Dec 31).
It was near the wooded cut and stream on Taylor between Sunrise and 
Cliff Park on West Hill in the city.
 We were surprised and concerned at this unlikely sighting and 
wished the little fellow well.

Regi

[cayugabirds-l] Savannah Mucklands

2012-01-01 Thread daven1024
Thousands and thousands of gulls. Hundreds of tundra swans. Geese by the 
boatload.  Mostly canadas but still a good amount of snows. The gulls were 
mostly ring billed but many had all black bills from foraging in the muck. Also 
many herring, 1 GBB and a few candidates for iceland and 1 for glaucous. Not 
sure on the 2 former... distant and very windy. A guy driving around on an ATV 
spooked the birds and the sky was almost filled with birds. Wow. Dave 
Nicosia.

[cayugabirds-l] Outlet Owl Savannah area

2012-01-01 Thread Mark Miller
Just a couple of points on the Waterloo Premium Outlets; the Snowy Owl was on 
the NW corner of the cupola by the Under Armour Store, mainly visible from 
behind the stores (I could see top of head from way across parking lot though). 
If you use the signs on the back side of the stores for a location, please note 
that, they are just advertising signs for the thruway traffic and don't 
correspond to the actual store locations. I got there about 9 AM, and the owl 
had already been there about an hour. I left about 12:15 - 12:30 and it hadn't 
moved from that location (not liking the wind maybe?)

Around Savannah not much activity except tons of Geese (Snow  Canada), Swans 
(Tundra), assorted ducks (mostly Mallards), and Gulls everywhere. I did have a 
couple Am. Kestrels (one along 318 east of Premium Outlets and the other on the 
north end of VanDyne Spoor Rd), nice view of a male N. Harrier (corner of Lay  
E. Tyre roads), lots of Red-tailed Hawks, and a Pileated Woodpecker on VanDyne 
Spoor Rd (center of wooded section where it turns to a dirt road). Also lots of 
Am. Tree Sparrows on Towpath Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] TV with half-white wing reappears

2012-01-01 Thread Chris Pelkie
T-H's interesting TURKEY VULTURE with the half-white left wing appeared over 
our house today (West Meadow Dr, off Triphammer Terrace, so about 2.5 mi N of 
Pyramid Mall) as part of a kettle of about 14 birds. As usual in our area, they 
circle low and fast disappearing behind the trees behind our house, making it 
almost impossible to count.

I grabbed a series of the half-white winged individual and posted to Flickr. 
This is my first post there, so hope this link works for you. If not, let me 
know and I'll try to fix it. Also, if anyone wants larger (up to the Canon RAW 
21 Mpixel) images, let me know.

Snowy Owl at outlet mall at 2PM Jan 1. Seen at  the second red roof
structure to the east of the open field  that can be seen on the north side
of the mall facing the freeway. If you have trouble, try finding the
