Re: [cayugabirds-l] Historical Harlequin Ducks -- Cayuga Lake

2022-12-06 Thread Dave Nutter 
East Shore Park is a very small Town of Ithaca park located a half mile north 
of Stewart Park on East Shore Drive (NYS-34) opposite the large concrete 
building which houses the pumps for Cornell’s Lake Source Cooling system. The 
driveway for East Shore Park crosses the railroad tracks directly to a parking 
lot for about a dozen cars. South from that parking lot is another driveway for 
the Cornell Boating Center with a large orange building and a marina and a sign 
aimed at deterring non-Cornellians. The park has a small pavilion with a few 
picnic tables & grills, some lawn & shrubs, and rows of large boulders going 
down to the shore of Cayuga Lake. There are a few signs, including one which 
describes the lake and the view. Although swimming is prohibited, people swim 
here, including in December. For birding, East Shore Park gets you half a mile 
farther into the lake, where the water is deeper, and where ice usually ends in 
winter.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Historical Harlequin Ducks -- Cayuga Lake

2022-12-06 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Thank you very much, Marty, this is really good to know!

Glad we were able to collectively chase down these historical Harlequin Duck 
records and get them entered into eBird.

I know there are *many* other historical records that are absent from eBird, as 
it takes a tremendous amount of effort by many people (as evidenced just today) 
in locating data, verifying data, and finally getting those records accurately 
entered into eBird.

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Chris,

In case you have not already checked there,  sightings like these may have been 
noted in the Cayuga Bird Club newsletter.

The library at the Lab of O has a significant run in the collection.  
https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/catalog/4544118

There is a Cayuga Bird Club collection of archival materials in the Rare & 
Manuscript Collection at Cornell. I know that a run of the club newsletter was 
given a couple of decades ago, and the record indicates they have 1989-1997.  I 
helped facilitate the transfer from a former member and officer.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Historical Harlequin Ducks -- Cayuga Lake

2022-12-06 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Hi Madonna,

East Shore Park is located just north of Stewart Park up the east side of 
Cayuga Lake. It’s not very far up East Shore Drive. The Park is to the north of 
the Merrill Family Sailing Center, located at 1000 E Shore Dr, Ithaca, NY 14850.

The female Harlequin Duck has been associating with Mallards and Buffleheads, 
just to the north among the docks and pilings, sometimes emerging out onto the 
lake for better views. A spotting scope is helpful.

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Historical Harlequin Ducks -- Cayuga Lake

2022-12-06 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Excellent find, Jane, thank you very much!!

I’ve added a screen shot from that 1995 Kingbird page to the dropbox link below.

It would be great to figure out a way to enter these sightings into eBird as 
historical Cayuga Lake Basin records…all original observers of both historical 
sightings are (sadly) deceased (McIlroy, et. al., and Prentiss).

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Historical Harlequin Ducks -- Cayuga Lake

2022-12-06 Thread Marty Schlabach 
Chris,

In case you have not already checked there,  sightings like these may have been 
noted in the Cayuga Bird Club newsletter.

The library at the Lab of O has a significant run in the collection.  
https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/catalog/4544118

There is a Cayuga Bird Club collection of archival materials in the Rare & 
Manuscript Collection at Cornell. I know that a run of the club newsletter was 
given a couple of decades ago, and the record indicates they have 1989-1997.  I 
helped facilitate the transfer from a former member and officer.
