Re: [cayugabirds-l] T Vulture

2022-05-13 Thread Jennifer M 
Hi Donna,

Quite a dilemma presented.  You could call the DEC to clarify the nest's
protection under the migratory bird act when it is within a private
structure.  Perhaps they can relocate the nest and egg(s) for you.  I also
know of a wildlife rehabber who specializes in TVs.  Perhaps she can help
too.  Feel free to DM me.

Hi Donna!

My! What a dilemma! This brings up questions in my mind about the migratory
bird act. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, we are legally
(if not morally) bound to protecting the nests of migratory birds. So, you
could tell the prospective buyers, "I'm legally bound to protecting these
birds until they fledge, then steps will be taken to keep the birds from
using the structure next year."
Those who know more about these things please jump in here!

❤️, Madonna Stallmann

Donna,

Turkey Vultures usually lay 2 eggs. It takes 28-40 days to incubate, and they 
don’t fledge until 60-80 days.

No, a month is not enough time.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] T Vulture

This morning I was with my grounds worker & we were going into the boathouse on 
the beach to clear out leaves & piles of sticks brought by flood last fall.
As I open the door, there was a loud commotion & then I saw a smallish Turkey 
Vulture flying inside at the lake end of boathouse!
It landed on the gravel & got out under the boat exit doors, the bottom if 
which is 2 feet above the ground!

That was curious, but lately TVs have been perched on roof of & trees near 
boathouse.
However as Rick & I started cleaning the gravel floor, I found in a little 
scrape with a few leaves one lovely speckled egg!
Ms. TV wants to nest in there!

Ordinarily this would be fine with me, but june 6 I am moving to Kendal & a 
couple weeks after that my house (& the boathouse) goes up for sale.

Will a month +  be enough time for more eggs to be laid, incubated , hatched & 
chicks fledged?

I am SO busy now, I don’t have time to look up this info.

Another bother: she is pooping in there & it is quite stinky -not a prime 
condition for selling real estate!

What to do?

[cayugabirds-l] Ibis @ montezuma

2022-05-13 Thread Alyssa Johnson 
I’m looking at a lone ibis in a open pool of water just past (west) of the 
eagle sculpture along the wildlife drive. I don’t know which it is! I did not 
see any others along the drive before this point today.

Thanks — I think you've all got it.  Apparently there are a pair of them
singing back and forth to each other in my neighborhood.

Can anyone tell what bird it is — I think it's a warbler — that has a buzzy
song which is a rising scale of about seven notes?  Like Bzz.zt!  ?
