All,

I am forwarding a note from another list-serve about a lost African grey, an 
emotional service bird, last seen near the Triphammer edge of Cornell campus.  
As you are out and about, please contact: Alyson at 760-331-9872 if you 
see/hear “Hero.”

Thank you for your eyes, ears!

Sincerely,

Hey Everyone, Thanks for the concern you all have expressed. Unfortunately, the 
parrot was not retrieved. But, Alyson is organizing a search group tomorrow 
(Tuesday, Oct. 7) at 7:15 am. Here is her message below:  Lost parrot update: 
my African grey, Hero, was spooked yesterday outside of Triphammer co-op. We 
located him this evening, but he moved to a different tree before we were able 
to retrieve him. A group is meeting at Triphammer tomorrow morning (7:15am) to 
search the local streets. If you can come, please come, if not, please keep 
your eyes open for him! Here are some photos. He is a little smaller than a 
crow, mostly grey, with a red tail. He is totally docile and very friendly. If 
you see him, PLEASE call me at 760-331-9872. If you are close enough to pick 
him up, please bring him indoors. He is an emotional service animal, and 
extremely important to me. It's imperative that we find him soon, before 
temperatures drop and food becomes difficult for him to find.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Surf Scoter, Great Egret

2014-10-09 Thread Kenneth V. Rosenberg
When I was watching the Cattle Egrets on Stevenson Rd about 9:30., I spotted an 
egret circling up high with the vultures — it turned out to be a GREAT EGRET, 
which then flew off to the northwest. Likely the same bird that appeared at 
Stewart Park soon after.

Not too exciting compared to flocks of Cattle Egrets, but highlights from some 
brief lake birding this morning were a female-type SURF SCOTER at Myers Point, 
flying by and landing in the bay north of Salt Point; and a GREAT EGRET at 
Stewart Park, flying by along the shoreline and landing at the extreme east end 
of the park.

There are now 3 cattle egrets (actually, they are pretending to be horse 
egrets) among the horses along the N side of Stevenson Rd, just east of the 
grain silo.  4:40 pm.

[cayugabirds-l] Cattle Egret on Cayuga inlet

2014-10-09 Thread Justin Hite
A single Cattle Egret just flew north along the Cayuga Inlet over a swarm of 
Crew boats. Didn't have my binoculars on me, so I lost it among some gulls 
before I could see where it headed once it got to the mouth of the inlet.

[cayugabirds-l] Bluegrass Lane CATTLE EGRET

2014-10-09 Thread Brad Walker
Hi all,

Five of the CATTLE EGRETS were flying ESE over the red barns at Bluegrass
Lane about 20-30 minutes ago. They were flying in a tight group. Earlier I
had a single bird soaring with the gulls that seemed to be heading west,
but I lost track of it.

The only other sighting of note was a very high group of about 50 SNOW
GEESE flying south in a messy V.

A CATTLE EGRET just flew north up the east shore of Cayuga Lake from
Stewart Park, loosely associating with a handful of gulls.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park: a few autumn birds

2014-10-09 Thread Dave Nutter
I spent a couple hours (3-5pm) at Stewart Park, mainly scoping the lake  
jetties from the swan pond, wondering if any Cattle Egrets would venture there 
with the gulls. I guess I didn't stay late enough or beat the bushes along the 
lakeshore enough because I found none, nor did I find any among the gulls at 
Treman Marina afterward.

What I did find was:

* a/the GREAT EGRET on the white lighthouse jetty among the gulls (who gave it 
a respectful distance) until an adult BALD EAGLE flew fairly high overhead, and 
the egret  gulls took flight. I saw the egret a couple times in flight, the 
last time going east, but I didn't see it along the shoreline later.

* at least 5 PIED-BILLED GREBES earlier in the SE corner of the lake, one of 
which still had some juvenile striping on the face. I met Gary Kohlenberg who I 
think tallied more. Yesterday there was a group of 9.

* a female RUDDY DUCK flew out to the lake, apparently from the mouth of Fall 
Creek, and alit not far from the swan pond,  a first-of-season for both Gary  
myself

* a small flock of AMERICAN COOTS off the swan pond which in recent days has 
grown from 2 (Sunday) to 5 (yesterday) to 9 (today)

* before Gary's arrival, while scanning the skies over the east side of the 
valley in Lansing I found a long-winged, long-tailed raptor flying into the 
wind, occasionally pausing with a dihedral, and showing white at the base of 
the tail. It turned out to be my first-of-season ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, a light 
morph, and it proceeded to fly west across Cayuga Lake, affording nice scope 
views of the underwing and tail patterns.
