Re: [cayugabirds-l] Flying with the birds (literally!)
Perhaps you could get Joe Duff to come talk. He was one of the pilots for Operation Migration, (OM), a now dissolved nonprofit that spent several years raising and leading endangered Whooping Cranes from Wisconsin to Florida teaching them how to migrate. Joe lives in Port Perry Ontario and is on Facebook. Here is one of their videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouCzFvENDdY Pam Bates On Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 10:02:44 AM EST, Poppy Singer wrote: how about over zoom?

[cayugabirds-l] NY DEC is accepting comments on the waste water treatment facility application
This was in today's Star Gazette and might be of interest to some here. If not allowed, please delete. Waste treatment facility threatens eagles, other birds Did you know that there’s an active bald eagle nest in the Catharine Marsh between Watkins Glen and Montour Falls? The bad news is that plans for a new waste treatment facility place it within a couple hundred feet of Schuyler County’s only active bald eagle nest. There were 10 initial sites, but the worse one for the environment, located in the Finger Lakes’ only remaining headwater marsh, was chosen. The fact that the marsh is an IBA (a globally designated Important Bird Area) and state-designated CEA (Critical Environmental Area) did not protect it from being selected. Not only do bald eagles nest in the marsh, but also other rarities such as sandhill cranes, a newcomer to our state and least bittern, which is a threatened species in New York state, are also found there. The NY DEC is accepting comments on the waste water treatment facility application (Project Seneca Regional Wastewater Facility) until July 7. If you think the waste treatment plant should not be located as planned, write to: Scott Sheeley, NYSDEC Regional Headquarters 8, 6274 E. Avon-Lime Road, Avon, NY 14414.
