[cayugabirds-l] horned larks
A half dozen Horned Larks followed the snow to Cayuga View Rd in TBurg this afternoon. Previously, with zero snow, there had been zero HLarks. The wind blows across the corn fields and leaves little lark tidbits on the shoulders of the road.

[cayugabirds-l] OOB bird behavior
Florida (OOB!) A friend recently returned from N. Florida and described a 2-1/2 ft. high bird that was begging food from them at a picnic area. She finally found a photo she had taken - it was a wood stork! She also described a second bird, which I think must have been a white ibis. She wanted to know if that is just a strange, learned behavior or what??

[cayugabirds-l] Petraglyph bird quiz: Are there any Finger lakes Native art preserved somewhere that I can visit?
Hi All, I visited Three River Petraglyphs in New Mexico near Tularosa. I was impressed by number of birds and animals they have drawn. I took lots of pictures, but have uploaded a few on to my Picasa website. i invite you to try identify the birds by their GISS. I have tried my luck and would love to know what others think. You can comment on the Picasa page itself so others can see. Great way to sharpen your skills and think of what could have been found between 900 to 1400 AD. But I also thought this, during the same period, people in Eurasia had mastered the art and had drawn and sculpted real life like likeness of drawings. Some of the miniature painting from Rajasthan in Western India drew minute birds with such details that with upside down binoculars when I looked at them I could identify many of them to species level. So my question is why these people had difficulty in drawing pictures of real likeness. Why was their evolution so slow compared to people of the other parts of the world. But nevertheless, they were interested in their surroundings and nature. https://picasaweb.google.com/mharibal/ThreeRiverPetraglyphsOfNewMexico# Are there any Finger lakes art preserved somewhere that I can visit? Some of the hominid pictures in Three Rivers looked like that they were drawing aliens! Very few drawings look like real human beings.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Petraglyph bird quiz: Are there any Finger lakes Native art preserved somewhere that I can visit?
Hi Meena, Those people simply had other ideas than realistic depictions. They were absolute masters of design, and they created some stunningly great art- have you ever seen the animals, birds, and fishes on Mimbres pottery? --some of the most wonderful creatures ever drawn anywhere. Their images and designs had symbolic and religious meaning, they were not intended to be likenesses. The hominid drawings were of spirits, not people. You can still see some related forms today in Hopi, Zuni and Pueblo kachina masks. Thanks very much for sharing these with us. --John Greenly On Jan 13, 2012, at 8:09 PM, Meena Haribal wrote: Hi All, I visited Three River Petraglyphs in New Mexico near Tularosa.
