RE: [cayugabirds-l] Birders Hunters on Cayuga Lake

Hi all, First of all, after reading John's post, when I suggested that CBC should do something about hunting was not to stop hunting, but to designate some locations on the lake to be free from being hunting locations, so both birders and birds can enjoy some peace. Why is it wrong if

[cayugabirds-l] Bird Conservation -- REALLY!

Hi all, When I think about the topic of bird conservation, I think about all the great work that gets done at the local level. In particular, I think about conservation actions that increase bird habitat (e.g., habitat restoration and management) as well as actions that slow down the

I made a very quick scan of Stewart Park at 12:30 today. I didn't find anything notable except for a PEREGRINE FALCON perched on the ice edge roughly straight out from the dock. Other birds observed included HOODED MERGANSER, COMMON MERGANSER, MALLARDS, BLACK DUCK, CORMORANT, and COOTS, in

Interestingly, nowhere in the information and rules does it explicitly allow discussion of the information and rules. I propose that this branch of this thread be disbanded immediately. :-) On Jan 7, 2013, at 12:46 PM, Linda Orkin wingmagi...@gmail.commailto:wingmagi...@gmail.com wrote:
