[cayugabirds-l] Seeking bluebird photo

[Richard Tkachuck]

I have been tasked with helping to create a bluebird trail for the Friends
of Fillmore
Glen State Park. It is a new organization promoting the park. If anyone
knows of a free photo of a male bluebird that we can use in a promotional
brochure I would appreciate it. The free one on wikipedia is not in an
attractive posture.

Cheers

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Banded Canada Geese

[Marc Devokaitis]

Hi All,

I've been talking to Paul Curtis from Cornell Dept. of Natural Resources
about this and he has shared the following information--see below.

Information on reporting the geese (other than to the BBL via the link
provided by John, which is always good practice!) is also provided. Note
that the project leaders are most interested in hearing about geese found
OUTSIDE of Stewart Park.

-Marc Devokaitis

The City of Ithaca, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,
and Cornell University, with support from the Friends of Stewart Park, are
working to reduce goose conflicts and associated issues in Stewart
Park, Ithaca,
NY.



Around 425 geese were tagged in Stewart Park late June, 2016


• All geese were marked with a US Fish & Wildlife Service aluminum leg
bands



• A sample of 200 adult geese are also wearing yellow neck collars with
numbers and letters



• 50 young (hatching-year) geese were banded with red leg bands with
white letters



• Collaring and banding the geese allows DEC and Cornell staff to
monitor their movements throughout the City, and aid the City's efforts to more
accurately estimate the population size.





 *Geese* *in Stewart Park*

Stewart Park, here in Ithaca, NY, is a great place for humans and wildlife
alike. With open playing fields and the historic Renwick Woods surrounded by
water, it is no wonder that so many people and animals are attracted here.
Canada geese are abundant and easily seen around the park.

The City of Ithaca, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation,
and Cornell University are working together to manage the geese and feces in
Stewart Park.

*Why* *this project?*

These efforts are in response to multiple complaints from residents largely
due to the excessive amount of feces from the current population. The large
amount of goose poop has prevented people from being able to use park space,
the City golf course, and playing fields.





*What’s** next?*

• Cornell staff will be counting geese & testing a novel method to deter
the geese away from Stewart Park & the City golf course.

• Our trained scientist will use a novel aircraft in a very specific,
controlled manner in order to mitigate any impacts to non-target species.

• These activities will mostly occur during early morning and late
evening to minimize disturbance to park users.

• Transects will help determine if this non-lethal management reduces
the goose feces and associated problems.

• Results will be used by the City and  DEC to continue developing an
effective and responsible management plan.


Can I help?

• If you see one a yellow-collared, or red leg-banded geese in *areas
other than Stewart Park and the City Golf Course *and can read the numbers
and letters accurately (typically with binoculars), email:
*ithacage...@gmail.com*  with the subject heading
“Goose observation” and the numbers, date, time and location of the bird.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Banded Canada Geese

[John and Sue Gregoire]

Suan,

All banded birds can be reported at the site below. Although you don't have the 
band
from your CAGO observations, I believe you can also report the color and 
markings of
the neck bands using that form.
