RE:[cayugabirds-l] hay cutting question
Mid-June cutting will destroy Bobolink nests. Mid-JULY on the other hand will probably be after most Bobolink young will have fledged, so it is my understanding that that is an OK earliest date to cut.

[cayugabirds-l] Charadrius on a hot tin roof
On Wednesday evening, three kids and I watched five Killdeer on the gabled roof of the building housing the Armstrong School of Dance and other businesses on Catherwood Drive in Lansing. The birds were calling incessantly and walking freely around, despite the steep pitch and apparently smooth metal surface. They showed no interest in joining the Ring-billed Gulls on the apex. I know that Killdeer like flat gravel roofs, but before tonight I'd never seen any on an angled roof, let alone five together. It seemed likely that they'd stay there overnight.

[cayugabirds-l] Houghton College Ornithology Class
Hello folks! We had another great year for the Ornithology May term course at Houghton College. It was a fantastic group of students and we had a blast. This year we were not at the campus in Star Lake (Adirondacks), but were based on the main campus in Allegany County instead. We had our misses as usual, but the list isn't our focus anyway. That said, we had 151 species during the course, which brought our total class list over the past few years to 193 species. Maybe next year we'll hit 200! The list is below, but some of the highlights for the students were as follows: Displaying woodcock, watching/listening to hidden Virginia rails and sora, watching an American bittern calling at Iroquois NWR, great-horned owl being mobbed by crows at Letchworth SP, spot on looks at an E. screech owl, and any other raptor or owl we encountered. The students have been busy emailing everyone in the class birds they've seen since the course ended. Great group - I'm already looking forward to next year!
