[cayugabirds-l] Birds in the heat
Hi All, This is a public service announcement for the birds. It is getting pretty hot this week compared to what it has been like in recent weeks. The birds could benefit from your help. I just refilled my birdbath this morning, and it has been a parade of birds to it ever since. Many bath in it, and many drink from it. Also, please don't forget to change your hummingbird feeder solution frequently (every couple days) in this heat, so the sugar water does not cause problems. Good luck and good birding. Jody Jody W.

[cayugabirds-l] Big Warm Up and Later Migrants
All, There is a very nice warm up occurring in the northeast US through Thursday...BUT the strongest low-level winds remain west. It is possible that the bulk of our later migrant boreal breeding warblers and other songbirds migrate west of us during this warm up leading to reduced numbers in our area. In fact, it is possible they overfly the areas in the Great Lakes as these strong southwest winds propel them right to their boreal habitats in Canada. See image of the winds at around 5000 feet above ground level as projected for Thursday morning. http://bitly.ws/dqZ4 I posted it from my facebook account so you need to be logged into facebook to see it. ( I ought to get my own website or blog for this). Also https://birdcast.info/ is picking up on this as well.
