Hello- We're looking to make sure we have an accurate rendition of the Cayuga Basin for querying eBird data presented at upcoming Monday Night Seminars, and I'm looking for input from the community of birders that knows the most about the boundaries: YOU! Right now we have a polygon that was digitized from the 1926 edition of Wiegand & Eames' "Flora of the Cayuga Basin" that was melded with the official Cayuga Basin watershed map used by local & regional land managers.
I've placed the map on Google Maps for inspection—rather than send me your edits, please let me know if you would like to make adjustments and I can add you as an editor of the map. Editing is a simple affair of clicking and dragging, so hopefully anyone that has input will be able to share it. If you have an account with Google you can sign in & click this link<http://bit.ly/CLB-Area>, otherwise you'll need to email me with your interest and I can add you as a collaborator (which may still require some kind of sign-in). *After you make an edit or a series of edits, please leave a comment (option on the left side under the map description) mentioning what you altered so others will know.* Thanks again for your interest in birding and the Cornell Lab, and I look forward to seeing this map reflect the knowledge of the greater birding community! charles. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
