Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bradfiled Peregrines?

I checked Bradfield twice on Sunday, 8 March, once at about 7:45 and once at about 4:00 with no luck. Whitewash, which I guess was from Peregrines, was all over the brick walls with a few places of concentration. One of the three students whom I picked up, Menachem, said he saw a Peregrine fly

[cayugabirds-l] Possible Phoebe

Hi all, While at Myers this morning, I thought I heard an EASTERN PHOEBE give a single chip note from the private area where the short-eared owl roosted some time ago (this is directly south across the channel from the lighthouse). I only heard it once and didn't see anything, but there were no st

[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck still around

I spent my lunch time today going up to the vicinity of the Yacht club in the hope of finally seeing the Tufted Duck, and was not disappointed, finding it to the North by the ice edge among Scaup and Redhead. Other species of interest were four Wood Ducks, about 8 Red-breasted Mergansers, an

The homeowner reported this bird to eBird a few days ago. I have not spoken with her, but I was able to see the bird from the road this m

Re: [cayugabirds-l] White-winged Crossbill, Enfield

I had a little time this afternoon to head up and try and see this uncommon Crossbill. I wasn't able to hear or see him unfortunately but was able to attract the attention of 2 Sheriff patrol cars. The neighbors in this area are obviously bored or have overdosed on reality TV. Otherwise our publ

[cayugabirds-l] Goshawk!

I was sitting at home with a cup of tea just now, gazing across the upper Cayuga Inlet valley toward sunlit Thatcher's Pinnacles, enjoying the thought that in seven or eight weeks this will all look so different, and the Worm-eating Warblers will be back. Suddenly a large whitish bird flew fr

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl - Varick/Romulus

There was one almost all white SNOWY OWL on a bare patch of field on the north side of Yale Farm Rd. (Varick/Romulus) just east of McGrane Rd. around 6pm today. Two WILD TURKEYS were within view of the owl, stumbling through the snow. I didn't see the more darkly colored owl (which is often in the

[cayugabirds-l] 3 Rare Birds Possibly seen at Taughannok Marina on Tuesday now gone

SHORT & SAFE SUMMARY: On Tuesday, I saw 6-8 shorebirds about 15-21in tall with thin bodies and 3 shorter sandpiper-shaped birds standing on the ice shelf out about 80 yards near the big dead tree on the Taughannok beach Tuesday. Today (Wednesday), they were all gone, but I did see an interesting
