Thanks to everyone for enlightening me about the names. Now I think I would like to vote for a new name and call it “OWL WOODS” which seems more appropriate instead of naming by a human name. They have been owners of the woods for now long time.

If you want the name changed, I think you should petition the Cayuga Bird Club. -Geo Kloppel On May 13, 2013, at 5:14 PM, Christopher Wood <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi everyone, I know this issue has been discussed many times before and I know that opinions are divided. For every email I get that says we should call the woods Renwick, I get three that say we should call it Fuertes. The official website of Ithaca calls the 55 acres south of Stewart Park the "Fuertes Bird Sanctuary". It describes this both in text and on the map. Given the huge contributions that Fuertes made, we (eBird) are happy to follow the official City of Ithaca website and go with calling the 55 acres the "Fuertes Sanctuary". http://www.ci.ithaca.ny.us/parks/stewartpark.cfm Christopher Wood eBird Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://ebird.org http://birds.cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
