[cayugabirds-l] 2 or 3 Grebes??

It is apparently inconclusive if there has been 2 or 3 Western-type Grebes on Cayuga Lake. Tom Johnson's  question of Western X Clark's Grebe is  intriguing since one of the two birds he and Jay had looks similar to the one at the southern end of the Lake that I photographed on Saturday.  When I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 2 or 3 Grebes??

For what it's worth, this afternoon I scanned the lake from Treman Marine Park with very good viewing conditions - calm, sun behind me, air temperature somewhat above water temperature, and saw ZERO grebes of any kind, although I did see 1 RED-THROATED LOON and at least 4 COMMON LOONS I think the

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Crow hunting regulations

Before I get any hate mail. please note that I am providing information, not supporting an opinion on crow hunting or hunting in general... Mark Miller is correct when he says that these rules are lenient as far as GAME SPECIES go, but there are many species in NY that are unprotected by law.

Tom Riley of Niles, New York and I had the pleasure of going to Sodus Bay on an absolutely beautiful day with perfect conditions. We discovered a flock of approximately 300 Long-tailed ducks in the channel adjacent to the lighthouse. The ducks were very active moving about from one side of

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Crow appreciation in Montour Falls

We do take a stand on the crow shoot to be held this weekend at the Millport Hunting and Fishing Club in Schuyler County. We think it is callous and distasteful to kill any animal for recreation, as is planned at this event. Marsha and Fred Kardon - Original Message - From: Kevin

[cayugabirds-l] Legality of crow shoot?

I am not clear about the legality of the Schuyler crow shoot. The American crow is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. However, there is a depredation order for blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles, crows, and magpies. This can be viewed on the Electronic Code of Federal

Re: [cayugabirds-l] 2 or 3 Grebes??

I cruised up the lake after work to see the big Aythya flock and hopefully the Grebes. The Aythya flock was present and very impressive with the reddish light of sunset bringing out the colors. I shared the spectacle with artist and photographer Bill Roberts of Aurora and the campground owner

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Legality of crow shoot?

You are only quoting the section regarding depredation or the control of these birds when they are a nuisance. There is a section that relates to sport hunting. The crow shoot in question is legally considered a sport hunt. Anyone participating must have a NYS hunting license and follow the
