Re: [cayugabirds-l] Basin list dilemma

Well given that every pheasant in the basin probably originated in a pen, I don't see why we wouldn't count one that was flying back in. Ken Rosenberg Conservation Science Program Cornell Lab of Ornithology 607-254-2412 607-342-4594 (cell) k...@cornell.edu On Jan 8, 201

[cayugabirds-l] Mud Lock Canvasbacks, GBH, etc

This afternoon just south of Mud Lock, along with many Canadas, tundra swans & other ducks, I saw 2 Canvasbacks. Without scope I wasn't sure about 3 swans which may have been trumpeters. North of the lock on the river were several common mergs, lots of Canadas & on the shore ice were 2 great b

For those people keeping track of the snowy owls: The snowy owl I saw today on Tamarack Lane outside of Homer is not the same snowy owl I saw Dec 31st on McCloy Road, Homer even though it is only a few miles away as the owl flies. Comparing photos and binocular views of both birds, the bird on T

The EASTERN SCREECH-OWL didn't appear last Thursday and Friday during and after the heavy snowfall, but otherwise we've seen it every day so far in 2014. Yesterday, when the temperature was about zero degrees Fahrenheit, the owl exited the box at about 5:20 PM. Through our closed double-pane wind

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Owl, Tamarack Lane , Homer

I watched the snowy owl on Tamarack Lane in Homer from 4:15 to 4:45 today. My fingers got too cold to stay any longer. The owl seemed to favor the roofline of the 2nd house on the right, or one of the poles that is near route 90. Other people have seen it in the field. Tamarack Lane location:

RE: [cayugabirds-l] two Indian Field Rd Snowy Owls

The one I saw last night was quite lightly barred, looked like the lighter of Kevin's photos. It would be exciting if there were 3…the habitat certainly looks like the tundra along that road! Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA Phone 607-539-6608 e

RE: [cayugabirds-l] two Indian Field Rd Snowy Owls

Last Friday I had two snowy owls on Indian Field Road, one 0.5 miles north of rt 90 in Genoa, hunting pigeons at the first barns on the west side, and another 4 miles north of there at the 4th pole north of Tile Kiln Rd, which is still 3 miles south of Popular Ridge Rd. There could easily be th

Re: [cayugabirds-l] two Indian Field Rd Snowy Owls

Hi all, I would venture to guess that the Snowy Owl Marie reported yesterday was the one that both Carl Steckler and I, separately found Sat then Sun near Venice-Genoa Town Line Rd. and not the one that was seen by many at Poplar Ridge Rd. I found two Snowy Owls Sunday - first the one many saw
