[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Road birds

2016-12-03 Thread Marie P. Read
A few observations from Mt Pleasant today: this morning around 9:30 there was a 
flock of at least 30 Wild Turkeys among the Canada Geese in the field just west 
of the observatory. And this afternoon around 3:00, three Snow Buntings were 
flying around with a dozen or so Horned Larks in the fields at the eastern end 
of the road.

[cayugabirds-l] American White Pelican

2016-12-03 Thread Matthew Medler
Tim Lenz found an American white pelican on the red lighthouse jetty about an 
hour ago. The bird was visible naked eye as a white blob from Stewart Park 
around 430, and after rushing to Hog Hole to try to see it from there in the 
fading light, I saw a large White thing swimming away from the red jetty 
towards the white jetty and Stewart Park. So, it seems possible that it will 
still be here in the morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Screech-Owl in Caroline

2016-12-03 Thread Anne Marie Johnson
We heard from a friend that the Eastern Screech-Owl was back in the tree 
behind the Dandy Mart on Rt. 79 in Slaterville Springs yesterday. She 
spotted it at 4:30 pm.


For a couple of years an owl has roosted in a cavity in a tree at the edge 
of the pavement behind the gas station/store. You can see the cavity 
plainly from the parking spaces on the left side of the building (facing 
the building from Rt. 79). The hole is about level with the parking lot 
light nearby and faces the parking lot. If you don't see a hole, there's a 
good chance the owl is in it.
