[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting, October 8
Next Monday, October 8, will be our monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Speaker: Kyle Horton, Ph.D; Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Presentation: Cloudy with a Chance of Migration The notion of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of migratory birds passing in and out of broad geographic areas is of considerable public and ecological interest -- and of conservation concern. Capturing and quantifying these large-scale movements has remained a principle challenge. Kyle will discuss how he uses weather surveillance radar to quantify and forecast migratory movements across the United States. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.Members are invited to join Kyle Horton for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Have a great weekend.

[cayugabirds-l] luna moth vs. red-winged blackbird
A new behavior observation from this afternoon: ...walking along the front sidewalk of the Ornithology Lab this afternoon when a luna moth crossed my path. A male red-winged blackbird swooped down and attempted to grab it several times. Despite one or two small tears in its wings, the moth eventually evaded the blackbird and flew away up over the building. Meanwhile, the frustrated red-winged perched in a nearby tree preening its jostled feathers... The additional audience of 5th graders and their walk leader were thrilled with the unexpected entertainment!

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club April 9 meeting
The Cayuga Bird Club will be holding their April meeting on Monday, April 9 at 7:30 pm with cookies & conversation at 7:15. Our speaker, Paul Guris, founder of See Life Paulagics, Pelagic Birding Tours, will present "Pelagic Discoveries: Birding the Mid-Atlantic and New York Waters. Over the years, See Life's trips have turned up a number of pelagic discoveries including rarities, high counts, identification tips, habitat requirements, and behavioral traits. This program will explore a range of these discoveries in the Mid-Atlantic, particularly in the New York area. Examples include rarities like Western Gull and Fea's Petrel. Birds like Band-rumped Storm-Petrels, once considered to be incredibly rare in our area, turn out to be regular and even expected in the right areas at the right time of year. Dovekies have a highly specialized requirement for feeding that makes them generally easy to find. Don't expect a dry, data-driven presentation, do expect a lot of photos, and do expect a fair share of not-so-serious moments.Paul Guris has been birding since age 12, which is longer ago than he cares to admit. His first boat trip on salt water was in his mother's third trimester. He has traveled the nation and several countries in Central America and Europe seeking out landbirds, but the pelagic species always call him back. He has served on both Pennsylvania and New Jersey's rare bird records committees, captained the multi-year NJ Audubon World Series of Birding winning team, the Nikon/DVOC Lagerhead Shrikes, and served a variety of positions, including president of the over 125-year-old Delaware Valley Ornithological Club.Paul organized pelagic trips out of New Jersey as far back as the mid-1980s and he has led for several other tour companies. In 2002, Paul and his wife Anita started their own pelagic tour company called See Life Paulagics to provide greater opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic region. They run trips sailing out of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and occasionally other places. The thrill of discovery and a love of the sea keep the excitement going even after all these years.Cayuga Bird Club meetings start at 7:30 pm, the second Monday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 pm and all meetings are open to the public. Seating is limited; if room capacity is reached, the building will be locked, so come early!~~~Club members are invited to join Paul and his wife for dinner at the Taste of Thai Express restaurant on Rt. 13 N. at 5:30 pm before the meeting.

[cayugabirds-l] March meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club
Next Monday, March 12, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Our speakers will be Alizé Carrère, National Geographic Explorer & Cultural Ecologist and Shawn Billerman, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Alizé's presentation is titled: Adapt and Thrive: Creatively Living in a Climate- Changed WorldIn 2012, Alizé received support from National Geographic to conduct research in Madagascar, where she spent several months uncovering an unlikely agricultural adaptation in response to severe deforestation. Learning of farmers who were turning erosional gullies into fertile pockets of farmland, her work evolved into a greater story of creativity and resourcefulness among the oft-repeated narrative of climate doom.Shawn will begin the program with an introduction to the birds of Madagascar and the habitats they depend on.This will set the stage for Alizé , who will talk about the environmental degradation she has seen and the human responses to climate change she has studied. With the persistence of climate change, people across the world are experimenting daily with different adaptive methods on the ground. At a time when doomsday narratives dominate the current climate conversation, adaptation plays an increasingly vital role for both its practical application and as a hopeful reminder of our resilience as a species. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome, but seating is limited and if room capacity is reached, the building will be locked, so come early!

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club November meeting
Monday, Nov. 13 will be the Cayuga Bird Club's monthly meeting. Our speaker this month is Dr. Emma Greig (Ph.D., University of Chicago). She joined the Citizen Science program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 2013 as the project leader of Feederwatch. Prior to joining the Citizen Science team, Emma was a postdoc in the Macaulay Library at the Lab of Ornithology, working with Mike Webster (2010-2013), and now continues to collaborate with the "Weblab" on questions related to behavioral ecology and evolution in birds. Emma's dissertation looked at the function of Splendid Fairy-wren vocalizations, including the enigmatic Type II� song that is given in association with predator vocalizations. Dr. Greig's presentation is entitled: Stories from Project FeederWatch: What We Have Learned from 30 Years of Counting BirdsProject FeederWatch is a continent-wide bird counting effort in which people keep track of the birds that visit their feeders in winter. We will learn about how the program works, and perhaps more importantly, what we have learned from 30 years of data collection. Why are Anna's Hummingbirds expanding their range? Is feeding birds harmful or helpful? Project FeederWatch data provides insights into both of these questions, and many more. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm with cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome. Members are also invited to join Emma Grieg for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club - October 9th meeting
Monday, October 9, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Who goes there? Birding with Infrared Thermography Speaker: Suan Yong Infrared Thermography allows one to see the temperature of everyday objects. It can highlight warm objects against a cooler background, making it a great tool for finding birds and other warm-blooded animals. A few years ago, when affordable thermal cameras appeared on the market, Suan decided to try using them to see if he could find owls in the night or bitterns in the marsh. He has done both, as well as follow a woodcock skydance, count migrants in the night sky, and track a grouse through thick brush. Suan will share his experiences with this technology. Suan Yong is a software scientist at GrammaTech in Ithaca. His interest in the natural world began as a boy growing up in Malaysia collecting butterflies, and shifted to birding in 2007 after moving to Ithaca. He regularly leads bird walks for the Cayuga Bird Club, Spring Field Ornithology, and other events at the Lab of Ornithology.If there is interest, we can follow the talk with a short walk into Sapsucker woods to see if we find anything interesting. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. All are welcome. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. Members: Please remember that we will be voting for a slate of officers. Members are invited to join Suan for dinner at Taste of Thai Express (downtown on Rt. 13N) just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club How To Remove Eye Bags & Lip Lines Fast (Watch) Fit Mom Daily http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/59d81034cc5ba1034058dst04duc -- 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] Cayuga Bird Club September 11 meeting
Next Monday, September 11, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Our speaker will be: Amanda D. Rodewald, Ph.D., Garvin Professor of Ornithology and Director of Conservation Science, Cornell University Robert F. Schumann Faculty Fellow, Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Department of Natural Resources; Faculty Fellow, Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, Cornell University.Her presentation will be - In the Thick of It: How Invasive Plants Affect Breeding Birds Invasive species are among the most serious conservation threats to native biodiversity. Invasive plants, in particular, can affect birds by altering food and nesting resources. Recent studies also show that invasive plants can increase the vulnerability of breeding birds to nest predators. Dr. Rodewald will discuss a decade of research showing how Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), one of the most problematic exotic and invasive shrubs in eastern forests, influences predator-prey interactions in urbanizing landscapes. As both a faculty member in the Cornell Department of Natural Resources and Director of Conservation Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Amanda Rodewald works to generate, apply, and communicate science in ways that advance understanding of ecology and also support conservation. Her research program seeks to understand the behavioral and demographic mechanisms guiding population, community, and landscape-scale responses of birds to land use change and human activity in the eastern US and Latin America. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. All are welcome. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. Members: Please remember to review the annual proposed budget in the newsletter before our vote at this meeting. Members are invited to join Amanda for dinner at Taste of Thai Express (downtown on Rt. 13N) just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club A New Way To Turn On The 'Master' Metabolic Switch LCR Health http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/59b03dec85e2e3dec2313st03duc -- 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] bald eagle swimming?
A friend who is biking through the Cascade Mountains sent this query: We saw the strangest thing - a quite large bird was swimming in the water with it's large wings, doing a stroke that looked much like the butterfly - both wings flapping up out of the water in sync with each other. We asked the ranger what was going on. He was puzzled. Doug wondered if it might not have been an eagle, either injured or perhaps caught on something, or maybe w/ fish that was tangled in something. Other ideas, my bird loving friends? Sorry we didn't get a pic - we watched quite a while but were slow with the camera. But that pic of the river is where it was, just imagine a large flapping bird in there - dark grey, with white head, and very large wing span.

Look for details.] Speaker: Dan Ardia, Associate Professor, Franklin and MarshallCollege, Lancaster, PA; Dept. of Biology Presentation: From PA to Africa: Chickadees in Forest Fragments & House Sparrows in Africa Dan will discuss two projects likely to change how you watch local birds. The first looks at movement and survival of Carolina chickadees in forest fragments in central PA. Chickadees ten to fall into two categories: active birds that move from feeder to feeder and less active birds that spend more of their time at the same feeder. The second project studies how invasive house sparrows spread across Africa. Two field expeditions (Kenya and Senegal) reveal interesting differences in which birds are at the leading edge of the expansion and how they differ in behavior. Expect interesting pictures and videos and new perspectives on two common birds. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation.

[cayugabirds-l] to Montezuma and back again
It was a greyish day, but still lots of good sightings. Total of 43 species between 8 and 4. Started at Myers with a juvenile red-tailed hawk sitting on one of the "campsites". A pair of ospreys on the lakeside of Salt Point demonstrated how to collect sticks for nesting material as a pair of kingfishers dived along the stream. Saw several kestrels on the power lines along 90 as we approached Union Springs - highlights of buffleheads and redheads at Factory Pond and the later roadside pond near the school. More of the "usuals" appeared as we neared River Rd. at the north end of Cayuga Lake: cormorant, ring-necked ducks, and great blue herons. Montezuma visitor center and wildlife drive yielded Northern shovelers, blue winged and green winged teal, coots, gadwalls, American widgeon,swan sp. in the distance and a pair of northern harriers hunting over the main pool. Along East Rd., and later along 31, pintails joined the rafts of waterfowl along with several pairs of Am. black ducks. We spent a short time at the MAC in Savannah, but the starlings were the only residents of the purple martin house today. LOTS of water and no sandhill cranes on Carncross, but we did find another pair of hunting northern harriers at Martens Tract as well as phoebes nesting under the observation platform there. Had only seen one bald eagle at the Visitor Center earlier, so we checked on Armitage Rd where one adult head was visible peering out of the nest. Also revisited Mudlock and think we saw where the eagles there were building a new nest after losing their previous one in last month's heavy windstorm. A quick trip back down the east side of the Lake gave us views of a pair of wood ducks at Factory Pond, several small groups of red breasted mergansers, one common merganser pair, a group of 16 double crested cormorants, many pairs of buffleheads, and finally 3 common loons. Plus the many robins, grackles, red winged blackbirds, rock doves, mourning doves, mockingbirds etc. that we passed in yards and trees along the way. Many thanks to Chris Lajewski who filled us in on all the recent happenings and sightings of the Audobon Center and Montezuma in general during the past few weeks. Thankful for a homeschool day-on-the-road.Colleen Richards Why Your City Doctors No Longer Prescribe Metformin Vibrant Health Network http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/58e5d76450059576411bcst04duc -- 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] Cayuga Bird Club April meeting
Next Monday, April 10, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Bruce Smith and Katherine [Kit] Muma, will give their presentation, "Kiwis and Kokakos: Wildlife Conservation in New Zealand". Although they have both been on faculty in the Biology Dept. at Ithaca College, Bruce retired 3 years ago. His courses included Animal Behavior; Aquatic Ecology; and Parasites and Vectors of Disease. Among the courses Kit has taught are Field Ornithology, and Bird Brains and Mind Games: Animal Consciousness. They spent parts of their last two sabbatical leaves in New Zealand. New Zealand bird species evolved in isolation, remote from any other significant land masses and virtually without terrestrial mammals. Consequently, the bird fauna was poorly adapted for the onslaught of mammalian predators that came with human settlement, first with the Maori people and later with European colonists. A significant proportion of the woodland species went extinct and many of the remaining ones are few in number and isolated on offshore island or remote patches of native forest. New Zealand, however, is a world leader in conservation, and has brought a number of their species back from the brink of extinction. Join us for an evening of video and still photography of birds of New Zealand, and a discussion of the challenges they face.The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.There will be no speaker dinner before the Club meeting. See you all on Monday.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting - Mon., March 13
The Cayuga Bird Club's March meeting is Monday, March 13.This month we have a "Double-Header"! The Opening Reception of Free Spirits: an Exhibition of Bird Photographs by Marie Read will be taking place at 5:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. At 7:30 the Club will begin its meeting, and our speaker, Jody Enck, PhD, Conservation Social Scientist and President, Cayuga Bird Club will be presenting: "Sister Bird Club Network: Linking Clubs in the US and Honduras through the Neotropical Migratory Birds We Share".Jody is a lifelong birder and current President of the Cayuga Bird Club. In October and November of 2016, he traveled around Honduras meeting with nearly all the bird clubs there to "test the waters" about the idea of establishing a sister bird club network. Clubs in Honduras enthusiastically jumped on-board with the idea. Jody will share pictures and stories about the birds and birders he met during almost 5 weeks in Honduras. In particular, he will share ideas from the clubs in Honduras about how a sister club network might play out. He will pass along some of the things he learned about how "our birds of summer" behave and use habitat so differently when they are on the wintering grounds. He also will share ideas the Honduran clubs have for hosting birders from our club in the near future.In leiu of a speaker dinner, Club members are encouraged to attend Marie's Opening Reception.

[cayugabirds-l] enterprising Juncos
This afternoon there were several juncos at our feeding station. Despite multiple other offerings, 3 of them flew up to a side porch railing and began attempting to use a Niger seed sock. Not being able to hang from it and pull out the seed, they perfected a different method. They took turns standing on a block of wood on the railing, so they were about 8" below the sock, then they jumped up and butted the sock with their head. This dislodged 2 or 3 seeds at a time which they gobbled up! Everything is quiet out there now but this behavior lasted for about 20 minutes.Colleen Richards This Simple Step To Flawless Skin gundrymd.com http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/58a623ba6ad6923ba3957st01duc -- 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] Cayuga Bird Club February meeting and speaker dinner
Next Monday, February 13, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Jennifer Walsh-Emond, PhD, an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Fuller Evolutionary Biology program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will give her presentation, "How Adaptations to Tidal Marshes Shape Differences between Saltmarsh and Nelson's Sparrows: Lessons from the Field and Laboratory". The harsh conditions found in tidal marshes make them suitable breeding homes for only a few bird species that are particularly well adapted to their challenging environmental conditions. In my work, I use salt marsh-adapted sparrows as a kind of natural experiment to explore how bird species adapt to new habitats. Saltmarsh and Nelson's sparrows are two recently diverged, hybridizing tidal marsh specialists that inhabit marshes along the coast of New England. Although these birds appear superficially similar, they have fascinating differences in habitat affinity, morphology, genetics, and behavior that reflect their associations with salt marsh environments over evolutionary time. These birds are increasingly threatened by the loss of salt marshes caused by habitat alteration and rising sea levels; my work helps place these threats in a broader evolutionary context by showing how these species likely arose through their different adaptations to coastal-upland habitats, which in turn led to their reproductive isolation.The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.Members are invited to join Jennifer for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club This Simple Step To Flawless Skin Gundry MD http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/589d3519b5c0c35197837st03duc -- 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] November Cayuga Bird Club Meeting - Mon., Nov. 14
The November Cayuga Bird Club meeting will be this coming Monday, November 14 at 7:30 pm at the Ornithology Lab. Cookies & conversation begins at 7:15. Our speaker, Vanya Rohwer, curator of the Bird and Mammal collection at the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates, will give his presentation - "Of Mansions and Shacks: Understanding Divergent Nest Building Behaviors Between Two Populations of Yellow Warblers". .Yellow Warblers have one of the widest breeding distributions of all North American wood warblers, ranging from the equator to Alaska. Different breeding sites pose different challenges to successfully raising young, and one way for Yellow Warblers to overcome these challenges is by building nests that are well suited to local environments. Vanya Rohwer will discuss why Yellow Warblers breeding between two different locations in Canada a temperate and subarctic site build such dramatically different nests, and will highlight some of the process of discovery associated with this research. For his work on Yellow Warbler nest morphologies, Vanya traveled to Churchill, Manitoba where Polar Bears loomed in willow thickets, Beluga Whales breached in Hudson Bay, mosquitoes buzzed insistently, and the dusk twilight of northern latitudes lingered till 2am. Members are invited to dinner with Vanya before the meeting at Aladdins in Collegetown at 5:30.

The March Cayuga Bird Club meeting will be this coming Monday, March 14, at 7:30 pm at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Cookies & conversation begins at 7:15. Our speaker, Anastasia Dalziell, from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will be presenting Strange Tales of a Curious Bird: Recent Research on the Superb Lyrebird. The male Superb Lyrebird is world famous for its remarkable ability to mimic natural and human-made sounds. Postdoc Anastasia Dalziell traveled to the forests of southeastern Australia to study lyrebird mimicry and found that, contrary to early suggestions, male lyrebirds are highly selective about when and what sounds they mimic. She will also discuss the association between vocal mimicry and dance, along with other findings that challenge our understanding about the evolution of complex communication in animals. Members are invited to dinner with Anastasia before the meeting at Aladdins in Collegtown at 5:30. Please RSVP by noon Monday to cl...@juno.com so reservations can be made. There will also be an opportunity at the meeting to sign up for tickets to the documentary, The Messenger, which will be shown at Cornell Cinema on Sunday, April 10th, at 4:30.

[cayugabirds-l] CBC field trip
Thanks Ann and Gary for an enjoyable morning @ Monkey Run, George Rd. and Dryden Lake. Due to the quick separate trip back to the Lab I think our car had a total of 44 species. Highlights were wood ducks in flight (repeatedly), 4 species of woodpecker (all but hairy and flicker) and golden-crowned kinglet at Monkey Run south; male harrier, redtail and roughlegged hawks at George Road; and all manner of waterfowl at Dryden Lake, including wood ducks, ringnecked, redhead, common/redbreasted and hooded mergansers, Am. black, mallard, gadwall, common loons, and horned grebe plus a great blue heron and a female harrier. I rounded out my day with an afternoon trip to Jetty Woods and the great horned owl nest on the golf course. Rescued a few meek souls from the hissing Canada geese along the entire length of the lighthouse pier, too.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake ice and birds
My teenaged sons and I were doing a science project this week on mapping the ice on Cayuga Lake. Thanks everyone for your references, etc.We saw 3 immature bald eagles and 1 adult on the ice near the east shore on Tuesday, approximately .2 miles south of the ice edge. There were none in sight when we returned this morning.Traveling north this afternoon we stopped at various points to look for waterfowl - mostly groups of 10-20 ducks or geese until we hit Long Point State Park where we found the largest flocks of the day. Further north there were again smaller groups of 20-30 birds at each of 4 locations in Aurora plus 35 Canada geese, 5 bufflehead, 2 gadwall, 8 redhead and one mystery duck (working on this one still with pix) at Factory Road pond. The roadside pond at Union Springs [can never remember what it's actually called] was also quite full of geese and ducks while the lake is quite frozen and snow covered to ~ .4 miles south of Union Springs.Ran out of time and daylight to get to the west shore of the north part of the lake today. Earlier in the week we did see swans amongst the ducks and geese along the shore at Taughannock. Other birds seen were:northern mockingbird on Scofield Rd. at 3:45and2 short-eared owls at corner of 34B and Long Point State Park Rd around 4:50 pm. One was flying over the field on the southeast corner, while the second perched on a utility wire pole at the crest of the hill.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting and speaker dinner - Monday, Oct. 13
The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, October 13, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Our speaker, Julie Zickefoose, a writer, artist and naturalist at home in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio, will give her presentation ldquo;The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birdsrdquo;. ldquo;Every day, I roam our 80 acre wildlife sanctuary, and every day I find something new. This deep relationship with the land is the wellspring for my writing and art. ldquo; Join writer/artist Julie Zickefoose for an evening exploring the intersection of birds and spirituality in our lives. Can a bird become a demigod to some? Can certain species achieve the level of a totem or spirit guide? Are there phenomena that occur at the intersection of man and nature that cannot be explained by conventional means? These are concepts that have surfaced over a lifetime of helping broken birds and mothering those who are orphaned, and in so doing coming to know birds from the inside out. A scientist at heart, Julie has lately found herself wondering more than knowing.

[cayugabirds-l] vultures over Mt. Pleasant
Mid-day Sunday we watched for about an hour as multiple kettles of vultures appeared over Mt. Pleasant and drifted west over the compost piles on Stevenson Rd. The groups varied in size from 10-40 birds. Only saw one black vulture that was part of a group that passed quickly to the south. Colleen Richards The #1 Worst Carb Ever?

A last reminder about tonight's : Cayuga Bird Club meeting at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Saw-whet Owls: The Cute Factor Aids Science: 206,000 Birds Banded by Insomniac Banders Reveal Migration Patterns and Regional Reproductive Success Speakers: Dr. John L. Confer, Biology Department, Ithaca College; Dr. Leann Kanda, co-analyst, Biology Department, Ithaca College The Northern Saw-whet Owl is widely distributed, and an intensive banding effort provides a data trove for this tiny raptor. Banding records combined with GIS analyses reveal exceptional detail about migration patterns in eastern and central North America . This, with the ability to determine age classes by plumage, allows analysis of temporal/spatial patterns of reproductive success for breeding populations in different portions of North America. Dr. Confer will talk about his own banding effort and how his data, combined with that of other banders, has helped answer many questions about this little owl. And there is still room for any members who would like to come to dinner with John and his wife Karen before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express.

Three killdeer together on an icy peninsula in flooded Campbell Meadow (corner Pinckney/Lower Creek). Turned back to look and there was only one. He remained for at least the hour I watched. Kept bobbing body up and down, then fluttering both wings. Only other movement was to duck behind a small pile of snow as a sharp-shinned hawk flew down over him.

Our speaker, Leonardo Campagna, Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Fuller Evolutionary Biology Program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will give his presentation entitled, Exploring the Origins of Neotropical Avian Biodiversity. The Neotropics hold the largest avian diversity in the world. Leo's work focuses on studying the process of speciation, with the objective of understanding what factors have contributed to generating the vast avian diversity of the region. He will talk about how geological events have promoted speciation and explore examples from his own work in greater detail, where he uses a combination of molecular tools with the analysis of sonograms (sound data) derived from vocalizations to study the evolution of various groups of birds from a number of areas in South America. Members are invited to dinner with Leo before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express. Please RSVP by noon Monday to cl...@juno.com so reservations can be made. Hope to see you Monday!

[cayugabirds-l] short-eared owls @ Morgan Road
Finally made it up to Morgan Road today on the way home from Oswego. About 18 folks were gathered to view the possible evening's flight. After several distant possibilities and half the group leaving for Carncross Road, we headed to our car where the 90-degree angle of the buildings funneled in the distinctive bark of hunting owls. The remnant of 6 birders quickly relocated and were treated to an up close fly-by and several minutes of watching two owls flit back and forth over the field. Many thanks to my husband for his last look and listen, which alerted us to the owls.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting and speaker dinner - Monday, March 11
The Cayuga Bird Club will hold its monthly meeting next Monday, March 11, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Nick Mason, PhD Student, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University will be presenting Complex colors and simple songs? Exploring evolutionary relationships between plumage, vocalizations, andhabitat in tanagers (Thraupidae). Tanagers are renowned for their bright, colorful plumage but are regarded by most field guides as poor songsters. The idea of an evolutionary trade-off between song and plumage dates to the days of Darwin; however, empirical evidence for this trend remains scarce. Nick will discuss his masters thesis on the newly redefined tanagers with respect to the relationship between song and plumage elaboration and the habitats in which they are expressed. The Club will also be hosting Nick for dinner at Aladdins in Collegetown at 5:30 pm prior to the meeting. This is a great opportunity for members to meet with Nick and others while enjoying some great food.

Flickers, 2 N. Harriers Return trip over to Wycoff/Rock River intersection: no sign of Short-eared Owl in the evergreens (didn't look long, because the dog was being protective), but the field behind was in process of being filled with snow geese!

[cayugabirds-l] Fall Creek near Stewart Park
Via canoe this afternoon, we had great fun watching three belted kingfishers as they flew back and forth over the still water of Fall Creek. After sighting two great blue herons, a green heron flushed out of the reeds and stood preening just 20 feet away for over 10 minutes [note to self: 2 kids and a camera in a canoe = unfocused pix]. Overhead an osprey also flew up and down the waterway. 7-8 rock doves huddled and pecked in the dirt under the train and Rt. 13 bridges. Once on the southern edge of the lake, Canada geese, mallards, d-c cormorants, Caspian tern, and three sp. of gulls dominated the scene. A great way to spend a couple of hours on a beautiful day.

[cayugabirds-l] caution re: whimbrel
Glad everyone has been getting to see the whimbrel. However, it would be best to park by road and walk in - the supposed dirt road that folks drove on yesterday is actually a newly set drainage tile ditch and it WAS newly seeded just before folks arrived on Thursday.

[cayugabirds-l] OOB:merlins in Cortland
Over the past 2 weeks, I've been helping with Cortland Red Cross swimming lessons at the Wickwire Pool. After listening to some kind of fledgling raptor calls for several days, I decided to actively seek them out - and found 2 juvenile merlins with a single adult. They have been a bit stressed for the past 3 days as 10-12 trees were removed (perhaps their nesting tree also??). Today both young were perched on the electric wires, complaining loudly, when the adult flew close, looped the wire, then into a nearby tree. Eventually both fledglings took off and, after some odd aerial maneuvers, joined the adult and were fed.

[cayugabirds-l] bald eagle on Dryden Lake
First canoeing of the season on Dryden Lake yesterday afternoon (sorry for late post - sore muscles!). Flushed an adult bald eagle from the NE edge of the lake which flew directly across and perched in trees on the west edge. When we arrived opposite the main park pavilion some kayaks again flushed the bird who flew very low back over the water and landed very close to the area where it was originally spotted. Wondering now if it is local...?

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods
Short time from 7:30-9 this morning. Missed yesterday's larger number of warblers but there were still plenty of good birds and fellow birders to share them with. A small mixed flock of warblers flew through the trees just west of the Lab feeding station - caught a glimpse of Yellow-rumped, Chestnut-sided and Magnolia amongst others moving too fast to id. A pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were breakfasting along the trail just before the Sherwood platform beside some raucous catbirds - not sure what they were mimicking... Heard several red-eyed vireo along SW portion of Wilson Trail, then a nice view of a Veery and Wood Thrush foraging under beeches (thanks for spotting them Rosenbergs!) After unsuccesfully trying to catch a glimpse of the Northern Waterthrush singing near the boardwalk along the East trail, I headed back across the road towards Wilson Trail and in a short space had two singing Wood Thrushes perched on branches directly over the trail. Had 36 species by the time I got back to my car where a female kestrel was preening in a nearby tree.
