[cayugabirds-l] East Shore Park ducks

2012-01-21 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
The large raft of mostly Redheads was just north of East Shore Park this 
afternoon, at the ice edge. The raft included both Scaup, at least one 
Ring-necked Duck, and a few Canvasbacks.


Closer to the middle of the lake, there was a nice group of Common 
Mergansers and Goldeneye. There may have been other things there but the 
light was bad.


A large group of gulls was gathered on the ice south of East Shore Park, 
most easily viewed from the Visitors Information building. I didn't find 
anything aside from the three usual species, but I didn't scan them carefully.

[cayugabirds-l] Brooktondale Mockingbird and R-w Blackbird

2012-01-21 Thread Annette Nadeau
On a walk this morning up Burns Road in Brooktondale I was surprised to have a 
MOCKINGBIRD fly right over my head.

Also saw and heard a male RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD perched at the top of a tall 
maple tree.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl in Ovid

2012-01-21 Thread Marty Schlabach
Mary Jean and I drove along Hall Rd and Wycoff Rd this evening about 4:30pm 
hoping to get another look at the short-eared owls that she saw yesterday.  We 
were disappointed that we did not see them, though we may have been a bit 
early.  We were, though, treated to a SNOWY OWL on Wycoff Rd, near Co Rd 129.  
The owl was perched at the top of a rather tall Norway spruce in a cluster of 
Norway spruce trees in the farmstead yard at the south east corner of the 
Wycoff and Co Rd 129 intersection.  We spotted it from a distance and we 
approached it slowly in our car and it did not fly even when we were just below 
it parked in front of the house.  We were on our way to Geneva so were not able 
to stay longer, but it remained in that tree while we were there.  Hopefully it 
will be there tomorrow as well.

Best,
Marty  Mary Jean
