Re: ADMIN: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Bohemian Waxwing Cemetary L.
I have been asked to provide more directions to the flock of waxwings. Salt road runs between Peruville Rd. Just West of McLean and Filmore Rd. in Summerhill. Cemetery Ln is about 2/3 mile North of Peruville Rd. Going East on Cemetery L. about 1/4 mile the flock was on the North side of the road in the trees.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park 20Jan2012 - Great Horned Owl
I saw much the same array of birds at Stewart Park at lunch time today as I did yesterday, including an adult PEREGRINE FALCON (this time sitting on the ice watching a Red-tailed Hawk eating something) and a BONAPARTE'S GULL (flying around over the lake fairly distantly). I walked into Renwick to try to find where the owls might nest this year. I didn't find any good candidates for nest holes, but I did find an adult GREAT HORNED OWL roosting in a large knot in a cottonwood. I will post a photo later tonight. I just drove Cemetery Road a couple of times looking for waxwings but was unable to find any. Maybe tomorrow will be more fruitful. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] great horned owls
My son went outdoors about 11 pm, last night to check the outdoor furnace. He heard ,not far from the house, in the woods, to the north/west ---hoot, hoot. Then right away an answering hoot, hoot from the south. After a minute another faint hoot, hoot still farther south (woods). 3 Great Horned Owls. Today there were rafts of Canada Geese all along the lake shore and doing a great lot of honking. Also all the usual birds at the feeders suet. Naomi Brewer 7214 Wyers Point Road, Ovid, NY.

[cayugabirds-l] Gray Catbird at Monkey Run
After arriving home this evening I took a quick walk along the old railroad tracks that go from Monkey Run road toward Hwy 13. About 1/2 along the trial, I saw a Gray Catbird on the south side of the trail. This is roughly 400 meters east of Monkey Run Road along the trail. I didn't have my camera, but was able to get some quick photos with my iPhone through the scope. While very poor, the bird is easily identifiable. See eBird checklist below. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S9638949 I'm intrigued by the pattern of reports for Gray Catbird in winter along Fall Creek. The Gray Catbird that Jessie and I saw here in 2010, we didn't find until 20 February. Ryan Douglas found the Cornell Campus bird in the winter of 2009 on the 20th of January, and the one at Comstock Knoll/Winter Garden in 2007 was first found by Brad Walker on 1 February. I know there are a couple reports of Gray Catbird in the last 10 years or so on the CBC, which weren't reported to eBird and I have no idea where they were. I suspect some of these catbirds may be in the general area and then move toward the somewhat more stable and food-rich areas along Fall Creek. But I wonder just how far some of these birds move. I suspect if we covered areas like the Farmers Market and along other creeks regularly, we may find other birds that show up as the weather changes. This is certainly a great winter for half-hardy species, by far the best since I have been in Ithaca!

[cayugabirds-l] juvenile Bald Eagle at Cass Park inlet
Today a bit before 3:00 in the afternoon we were walking our dogs in Cass Park near the inlet when we saw an eagle. It was not an adult bald eagle so I presume it was a juvenile Bald Eagle. (Sorry, I don't know my juvenile eagles!) It flew down the inlet toward the lake at a height (just above treetops) suggesting it was hunting for fish. What a wingspread!

[cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls in Ovid
Mary Jean called me 3 times today, all in the neighborhood of 5pm. First she and Emma, our 3 year old granddaughter, saw 3 short-eared owls on Wycoff Rd just west of Rock River Rd. Then minutes later 2 owls on Wycoff Rd just east of Rock River Rd, followed by 1 near the intersection of Wycoff Rd and Hall Rd. These are essentially the first sightings of the season in that area where we've been regularly seeing them in recent years. We and several others have checked the area numerous times over the last couple of months without any sightings. Could there be a correlation between the arrival of winter and the arrival of the short-ears?
