Today, Wednesday, 12:30 pm. There is a large mixed flock of field birds on Jerry Smith Rd. just east of Davis Rd at the power line. Snow Buntings, H. Larks, Lapland Longspur, very actively flying around field with manure or bedding spread.

[cayugabirds-l] FOY fish crow
I heard my FOY Fish Crow in Geneva this morning. I‘ve heard and seen them throughout the city and along the lake front in years past, but I was walking along Washington St when I heard (then saw) it this morning. If anyone has tips on visual ID, please share! As far as I know, there is a slight size difference between them and Americans. I always rely on what they sound like though, because I can’t tell them visually apart from American Crows. The funny trick I learned in the orno course I took in college is to ask the crow “are you an American Crow?” And if they say “UH-UH”, they are a Fish Crow :) Alyssa Johnson -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Update on the Children's Forest of Coto Brus visited by the Cayuga Bird Club
Hi All, In February 2020, right before the covid pandemic shut everything down, several of us from the Cayuga Bird Club traveled to southern Costa Rica and visited Finca Cantaros, where the Children's Forest was started in 2019. See our newsletter article about the visit here: https://mailchi.mp/d51d96bd457f/cayuga-bird-club-newsletter-2020-03 Then, take a look at this brief video update from Lily Briggs, who is the owner/operator of Finca Cantaros (and past postdoc at the Lab or Ornithology): https://vimeo.com/801723758 Look at how much change has occurred in a few short years. Of course things grow faster in a tropical climate, but Lily's message of collaboration to achieve a vision is something that the Cayuga Bird Club also embodies. Enjoy! Jody Jody W.
