[cayugabirds-l] Sharpie

[Donna Lee Scott]

When I was on my front porch yesterday, there was quite a squawking going on 
with all the house sparrows and other usual feeder birds.
Then I saw a small hawk zoom by and land in the barberry bush right across from 
me and then take off again after some birds!
A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew back & forth, very close to me,  landing momentarily 
in small trees while trying to catch a meal.
I don’t think it got a bird, but it was out of sight behind the big boxwood, so 
I couldn’t see it after a bit.

It either did not see me, or was so desperate to catch a bird that it ignored 
me standing on the porch.

[cayugabirds-l] Sharpie

[Bill Mcaneny]

Just had a SHARP_SHINNED HAWK fly in to a blue spruce behind the house.
Nothing happened, and then a Junco dashed out with the hawk in pursuit. They
made a fast loop around the tree and it looked like the junco was going to
make it.  The hawk took a slightly different route, but both went out of
sight on the far side of the house.  I am off to see which bird has a happy
ending.

[cayugabirds-l] Sharpie West Hill

[Stephanie Greenwood]

Had a not very productive morning birding only to return to my house and 
find a beautiful adult Sharp-shinned Hawk out my back window. I knew I 
should have stayed home

[cayugabirds-l] sharpie again

[Meena Haribal]

Hi all,

Looks like there is a sharpie circling over, it is visible from between the 
computer screen and the wall from window opening in my office. It is circling 
and gaining height and thermal.  This one was greyish, so I presume a male.  
Now it has become invisible with naked eye and to binoculars.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Sharpie

[Meena Haribal]

I watch those starlings every day in this season while waiting for the bus.  
They do it so late in the evening that it is hard to get them on the film. May 
be should get a permit to go to the top of Vet Tower one of these days. I can 
hear them while waiting for the bus.

Gary, any suggestion how one can get permit?

Terry. Stop and watch them for a while. They circle and circle and after quite 
a long while they stream into a tower, what I presume is a chimney,  in one 
fell swoop. Like reverse smoke. Not at all the way Chimney Swifts enter.   
Larry and I watched this several times last year. Fascinating. 

Thanks

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sharpie

[tmingle]

I've been watching starlings wheeling around in their "swarm" mode directly 
over the Vet Tower right around 5pm each night as I head home. Really fantastic 
sight. If you are driving down Tower Road in the direction of the Vet Tower you 
can see them after you pass the Dairy Bar intersection.

[cayugabirds-l] Sharpie

[Meena Haribal]

Hi all,
Just now I saw a flock of crows over my computer screen and right behind them, 
came a Sharpie that looked larger, so presumably a female, but no head. There 
were some yellow tagged crows that were chasing it. They flew over BTI.

[cayugabirds-l] Sharpie and TV

[Meena Haribal]

Today early morning I did see the TV again, lazily floating over plantations. 
Today three times I have seen a Sharpie from my office window. I guess it is 
the same bird spending time in the same locality. It just now flew over to 
Mundy wildflower garden.
