A friend who lives on Durfee Hill has taken some photos of large cat tracks, w/ a ruler for scale, and I am wondering who might be willing to look at them for ID purposes. Please contact me off-list. Thanks! -- asher -Never play it the same way once. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT - cat tracks

Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT: Comet visible in western sky now

On the evening of 17 March I was birding in the Montezuma area. The clearing sky inspired me to stay and look for the comet. I chose Olmstead Road, which is the first right turn off Armitage Road when you go west from where NYS-89 turns. Olmstead is on the crest of a drumlin with no trees, so

If Congress doesn't pass a budget before December 31, a cascade of crippling budget cuts will automatically sweep through *all* federal programs with a devastating effect on birds and wildlife conservation. We must pass a sensible, comprehensive budget, but one that does not loose sight of the
