[cayugabirds-l] OT - little birds benefit Lab of O

[Donna Lee Scott]

"Christmas in July" is a fund raiser for Lifelong, the activities center for 
"senior citizens". Vendors buy a table from Lifelong for two days and sell 
their wares.
I am selling my late sister's miniature bird collection and any profit I make, 
I donate to Cornell Lab of Ornithology, one of Lynn's charities.

The event is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, 10:00am - 3:00pm and will take 
place in the Large Activity Room at Lifelong (119 West Court Street, Ithaca).   
The sale continues on Saturday from 9 to noon.

A wide variety of goods will be available at this event at Lifelong, so come 
check it out!

[cayugabirds-l] Guided shorebird walk at Montezuma August 4th

[Joshua Snodgrass]

Hi all!
Given the great variety of shorebirds seen at Montezuma in Knox-Marcellus
recently, I inquired whether there would be any guided shorebird walks this
year, and they offered me the chance to lead one!
We will meet at the Visitor Center at 7am on Saturday August 4th (10 days
from now) and carpool over to East Rd. to head out on the dikes between K-M
and Puddler marshes. This is an excellent opportunity to get close to the
birds in an area of the refuge usually closed to public access. I'm sure
Andrea will post the official notice of the walk soon, but I wanted to get
the word out early. All are welcome!
As this is my first time leading a shorebird walk, and I am still working
on my shorebird ID skills, I would love any assistance from folks who have
more experience. Any tips and advice are most welcome. Please bring
binoculars and/or a scope if you have one, a willingness to share, and
water.
Hope to see you all there!
Best,
Josh

[cayugabirds-l] Towpath Road

[Steve Taylor]

Thanks to Dave Kennedy and Chuck Gibson for responding to my query about 
Towpath Road. Short answer, I would say, is to stay off Towpath after all this 
rain, as the deep ruts filled with water (and hidden hazards) and the “greasy 
mud” would make for a white-knuckle (attempt to) go down Towpath!

[cayugabirds-l] Fw: Towpath

I think you're right.it does seem better, but not because of any 
intentional improvements. Traffic and weather have smoothed it out a bit. There 
are some deep ruts that could strand you in almost any vehicle but there are 
paths around them. The drought like conditions made it fairly easy to get to 
the first dyke. Personally, I won't go there after these rains as the worse 
will be camouflaged with water and the mud is extremely greasy with the 
potential of sliding you into ruts.

There is always something to see down Towpath but with the Knox-Mar water so 
far to the North it's about as close viewing the meat of it from East Rd.

Good luck.

Dave K.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question re: Towpath Road

[Carol Keeler]

Very good question.  I bet lots of people would like to know.
Van Dyne Spoor was improved this year, but those rains may change that.
