There are many good potential owl sites in the Cayuga Bird Club Christmas Bird Count, the CBC CBC. I don't want to poach on anyone's intended location for pre-dawn playing of owl calls.
I usually try along southern end of Hammond Hill, Flatiron Rd., Rt., 79 near Slaterville, Six Hundred Rd., along Midline including the Park Preserve, Star Stanton Rd., and Thomas Rd for only saw-whets very early in the morning. If no one is doing it, Genung Rd., Ellis Hollow near Pine Tree Rd., and then the walkway near the game farm which usually has a Screech. It is a rush to try to do all of this, and I wouldn't mind someone else doing part of it. I've said that misery loves company, and if anyone wants to join me at anytime between 3:15 and 5:00, we can correspond offline or by phone about where I will be. Good Birding, John Confer 539-6308 PS. So far, all I have heard about means that Area 3 has just me doing the area. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
