[cayugabirds-l] Red-tail nest

2013-04-21 Thread Gary G. Kohlenberg
Dave's story of the Chickadee nest reminded me that I wanted to share a 
new nest sighting. 
While birding Mulholland Preserve yesterday I saw two Ravens chasing a 
Red-tailed Hawk from the gorge downstream, presumably away from their nesting 
location. The same Red-tails have a new nest location this year. The old one 
was up the hill behind the water plant and I'm not sure if it is being used 
again. The new one is at the first bend in the creek walking from the lot. 
Stand at the log jamb by shore and look across the creek bend to the two 
tallest pines, the nest is in the left tree at the top.
The preserve was alive with Ruby-crowned Kinglet yesterday. I counted 
ten from the flat area. The Louisiana Waterthrushes and Winter Wren were also 
singing. 

Happy  birding,

Gary

[cayugabirds-l] Treman Osprey nest building

I spent some time at Stewart Park and Treman Marina this morning. There wasn't 
anything too unusual. I did see the Northern Shovelers , but missed the Horned 
Grebe Jay saw. I was happy to see the Osprey pair actively adding to their nest

[cayugabirds-l] Barred Owl

2013-04-07 Thread Gary G. Kohlenberg
It was a little breezy last night for owling, but Ann and I decided to 
try and continue a fantastic day of birding into the dark. The first two stops 
on Irish Settlement Rd. didn't produce a single hoot. We drove back on Ellis 
Hollow Creek Road and were surprised by a spontaneously calling Barred Owl out 
over Cascadilla Creek. It was like birding desert; we didn't really need it, 
but it sure was good.

A friend of mine, Tim Dorn, lives on the west side of the lake, by Buttonwood 
Winery, and has Barn Swallows nesting on his dock every year. A few of the 
early arrivals were back on Monday the 1st hawking some unseen insects. I don't 
know if they had been reported yet.

Pulled the first tick of the year out of my side last night. Hardly seems warm 
enough. Got it in the Danby area probably. An Ixodes, the one notorious for 
carrying Lyme disease. Tried the circling it with your finger trick.  Gave it 
five minutes, but it didn't pull out its head. The tweezers did the trick.

Ixodes is pretty easy to ID to genus with a 10x hand lens. It's the only tick 
here with a scutum (dark shiny area), no festoons (rectangular areas at the 
hind end) and an anal groove that surrounds the anus anteriorly (see the 
attached diagrams; #43 points out the groove).

[cayugabirds-l] Dryden G.H. Owl

2013-03-30 Thread Gary G. Kohlenberg
Today, during the late afternoon, while shooting at the Dryden Gun Club 
I found myself wondering again whether nearby birds change their behavior 
living next to an intermittently noisy environment. In my few small samples I 
think they adapt well considering the noise is less predictable than something 
like road noise. When I would take off my ear muffs I could hear and see 
singing Cardinals, Robins, Bluebirds, Chickadees, Redwing Blackbirds, Titmouse, 
etc. A Killdeer also calls the club home. The most surprising vocalist was a 
Great Horned Owl in the spruce trees. I'm always thrilled to hear Owls in the 
daylight.  I have never noticed any flushing or breaks in song that would 
indicate that they feel vulnerable, just spring business as usual.
