RE: [cayugabirds-l] Red Knot and Ruff Sighting Info

Hi folks, Any chance that an effort could be made to have some folks with higher-power optics and knowledge of shorebird ID meet us less-fortunate folks up at Towpath sometime soon to try to view these special birds. I've used my 45-power Vortex from both East Rd and Towpath, and it's

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods, Mon 9/13

I didn't detect appreciably greater numbers or diversity than on other recent visits, but somehow I found that birding in Sapsucker Woods on Monday morning (10:30-11:20 AM) felt unusually satisfying. On the Wilson Trail North, I saw MAGNOLIA, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN,

[cayugabirds-l] correction: RE: Raptors and Odonates

Well, darners were not heading north but south. My brain is still confused in spite of 17 years in US. At the beginning of my arrival in US, I always felt north was south and south was north! Meena Haribal Boyce Thompson Institute Ithaca NY 14850 Phone 607-254-1258
