[cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls @ Morgan Road
Finally made it up to Morgan Road today on the way home from Oswego. About 18 folks were gathered to view the possible evening's flight. After several distant possibilities and half the group leaving for Carncross Road, we headed to our car where the 90-degree angle of the buildings funneled in the distinctive bark of hunting owls. The remnant of 6 birders quickly relocated and were treated to an up close fly-by and several minutes of watching two owls flit back and forth over the field. Many thanks to my husband for his last look and listen, which alerted us to the owls.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls @ Morgan Road
Hi all, After these first few owls flew by the buildings on Morgan Road (they didn't come out until about 5:45), Scott Haber, Susan Newman and I decided to head down to the distant birds near Carncross Road, where we could see birds fighting with each other and perching from afar. When we arrived at Carncross Road, we found a close bird flying by over the newly constructed bridge, headed back towards Morgan Road. (This may have been the bird that Colleen saw at about the same time). We also had a distant bird near the treeline to the Northeast and a very close and cooperative bird hunting back and forth over the berm just to the north of the road, for a total of 6 birds in the immediate area. Such beautiful birds!! - Brad -- Brad Walker On Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 9:44 PM, cl...@juno.com wrote: > Finally made it up to Morgan Road today on the way home from Oswego.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls @ Morgan Road
As part of the group that relocated to Carncross Rd. this evening where we had excellent looks at three Short-eared Owls, I should note that the distant "possibilities" that Colleen referred to were indeed distant Short-eared Owls. They were quite far out and we tried to help many in the large group get visuals on them, but they were constantly in view towards the direction of Carncross, which is why we ended up heading that way.
