[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club meeting -Elizabeth Derryberry
Hi all, The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting tonight, Monday, November 11, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. The public is invited to join. Please note that the doors will be locked when the auditorium reaches capacity (so get there early!). Our speaker, Elizabeth Derryberry, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University in New Orleans, will give a presentation entitled, Songbirds Rise Above the Din. Dr. Derryberry's talk will begin after the Bird Club meeting (~8:00). Cities are evolutionary recent environments that impose novel selection pressures on organisms, including birds. Noise, whether from the city or nature, may be enough of a nuisance to convince birds to change their tune. Elizabeth will talk about her studies which look at current and historical songs from urban and rural locations of White-crowned Sparrows in San Francisco and Marin County, CA, and compare how songs have evolved in each location. See you there!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] late Nelson's Sparrow
The dull NELSON'S SPARROW was still present at the Liddell Lab pond this morning, as well as Song and Swamp sparrows, a late GRAY CATBIRD, and a flyover LAPLAND LONGSPUR. At East Shore Park, all three species of SCOTERS were visible (barely) off to the west, and my first-of-season (for the Basin anyway) COMMON GOLDENEYE, a male, was diving near the base of the white lighthouse jetty. -Jay On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 12:47 PM, Tom Schulenberg ts...@cornell.edu wrote: At the northwest corner of the pond by Liddell Lab, off Freese Road. Given the date and location, I was hoping for a different species.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] late Nelson's Sparrow
The Nelson's Sparrow was still present at 2 pm. West side of the pond at the Liddell Lab. And the scoters remain. Best viewed from the east shore, along the tracks, where East Shore Drive starts up the hill.

I have a phoebe that is still hanging around the yard and barn. Isn't it late for them to still be here?
