[cayugabirds-l] Communication Tower siting recommendations
Lisa, The American Bird Conservancy has recommended guidelines for safe siting of both comm towers and wind farms. These recommendations have recently been codified for the Gulf course and ABC is pressing for national incorporation. Until then the best we can do is suggest developers adhere to the recommended ABC guidelines.

[cayugabirds-l] Waterfront cleanup reminder
Hey All, Just a reminder, the waterfront clean up is tomorrow. I will be at the pedestrian/suspension bridge at Stewart Park at 10AM to meet up with anyone who might come. You can decide at the last minute, although due to weather predictions, Rick may cancel as of 8:30 tomorrow morning. I know this was all very short notice. It was for me too. I think this happens the same Saturday each year (last Saturday?) so I am going to try and make sure we know about it further in advance next year.

[cayugabirds-l] short questionnaire about Hydrilla invasion treatment
Last year Hydrilla, a prolific invasive aquatic plant, was discovered in southern Cayuga Lake, particularly along the jetties, and in Cayuga Inlet, particularly near the mouths of Cascadilla Creek and Treman Marina. Eventually boaters were asked to examine their boats to remove viable bits of the plant as they took their boats out of the water, andboating was even banned for awhile. In the autumn you may have seen pesticide warning signs along the shore of southern Cayuga Lake, Stewart Park, Treman Marine State Park, Cass Park, the Farmers' Market, Jetty Woods, Fall Creek, Cascadilla Creek, and Cayuga Inlet. A poison which is used on a large number of aquatic plants, which is effective at 5ppm, and which has warnings against exposure to humans and wildlife, was applied in the water. I understand this poison application is planned to be done for several years in order to eradicate the relatively new Hydrilla infestation.I answered the short questionnaire below, and thought perhaps others on Cayugabirds-L would also like that opportunity, as people who spend time in the areas where the warning signs were posted, and who appreciate the numerous birds which depend on the aquatic ecosystem, whether it faces being over-run with Hydrilla or being tainted with poison. Although the questions seem oriented toward business, and I sort of qualify through the privilege of leading SFO field trips in the area, I think others should feel free to answer even if they don't have a monetary interest but merely have their physical or spiritual health at stake.--Dave NutterBegin forwarded message:From: Pat Dutt pdutts...@gmail.comDate: March 30, 2012 6:54:37 AMTo: westhillcivicassociat...@yahoogroups.com,iw...@ithacawest.org,z...@cornell.eduSubject: [IW] Fwd: Hydrilla Eradication InterviewHello West Hill,If you have been impacted by Hydrilla, please respond to Zacharia.

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park 30Mar2012
Hi all, Things seems to be picking up a bit at Stewart Park again. Nothing too spectacular around lunch time today, but a few birds that others have been seeing in the last few days, including an adult BONAPARTE'S GULL, two female RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS out towards the red lighthouse, at least 6 HORNED GREBES in various stages of transition, 1 PIED-BILLED GREBE, a (presumably) continuing adult RED-THROATED LOON giving nice looks straight out, 2 COMMON LOONS in nice breeding plumage, 4 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, 2 AMERICAN WIGEON, 1 GADWALL, 4 NORTHERN SHOVELERS, 2 RING-NECKED DUCKS, a few LESSER SCAUP beyond the red lighthouse and a larger group of SCAUP distant to the north, lots of BUFFLEHEAD, and a distant pair of COMMON GOLDENEYE. At least as late as Wednesday, the young male BLUE-WINGED TEAL was still hanging around along the creek in Renwick, along with three GREEN-WINGED TEAL. No sign of the resident Great Horned Owls, though. Has anyone seen these birds in Renwick recently, or know where they might be nesting within the sanctuary?

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey, Bald Eagles, etc.
Inspired by Robyn Bailey's report of Ospreys at the new nest platform at Portland Point, I took a walk to the lakeshore at Treman Park this afternoon. Even with my 7x binoculars I could discern the new wood of the nest platform, but I think the birds at that distance (about 5 miles) would have required a scope, whichI didn't carry today. On my way home about 5:30pm I was lucky, though, and I watched as an OSPREY flew north over Cayuga Inlet near the Farmers' Market. It was at a good height for hunting, but it may have been migrating as well. It was a year-bird for me, and initially I mistook its long bowed wings for a Great Blue Heron.Another bird of interest was an adult BALD EAGLE cruising southeast over the lake toward Jetty Woods, where I re-found it (I assume) 20 minutes later halfway up a large tree eating a large fish. My attention had already wandered when I heard a Bald Eagle call from the same direction, and when I glanced up I saw a yearling BALD EAGLE flying north from the same vicinity of Jetty Woods where the adult still dined. The youngster flew toward East Shore Park, scaring up plenty of gulls and ducks, and as it returned it was joined in close flight by the (presumably same) adult (no longer seen in the tree). I'd like to think this was one of our twice-successfully-breeding local pair greeting of one of its progeny, but the message might have been "scram". I lost track of the youngster before I saw the adult fly northwest again, but don't know how far the adult went, as I quickly lost track of it too. If there aren't lots of big trees around me I can see an eagle in flight better. I am impressed by how quickly the adult managed to get a large fish (was it cached?), and how readily it abandoned so much food. There's probably a big fish on the ground somewhere in Jetty Woods with lots of good meat left on it.On the subject of local Bald Eagles, I have only looked at the nest on Maplewood Rd off NYS-89 in Ulysses a few times this winter/spring, but never seen any Eagles. Maybe I was just unlucky as to when there would be a second adult, and maybe the one incubating sits too low to be seen easily. If anyone knows of activity at this nest this season, I'd like to hear about it. I'm concerned that the house being built next to it, and the associated logging, may have disturbed them. Today's adult Bald Eagle sighting, especially considering the direction it seemed to come and go, raised my hopes. I also spoke with someone along the Cayuga Inlet Trail who had seen a Bald Eagle near the Hospital today.More birds of interest:A dozen swallows, all flying north (into the wind), and 5 of them identifiable as TREE SWALLOWS.One adult BONAPARTE'S GULL flying slowly north along the east side of the white lighthouse jetty.One DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT was initially on a dock in Treman Marina. Perhaps waves were too high on the favored log northwest of the red lighthouse. Or perhaps this individual never liked that log and stays in the marina, and the one I saw for much of the winter was the one which Norm Trigoboff reported dead on the mud in the southwest corner of the lake. Later this afternoon I saw a/the DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT fly south and alight on Cayuga Inlet near the Cornell boathouse, but it only had time for a few dives before it fled north from an armada of racing shells.I heard 2 unseen NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRDS singing, one behind the Hangar Theatre, and the other on Newman Golf Course. As I scanned in vain for the latter, I startled a KILLDEER which I hadn't seen on the mud on the near side of Cayuga Inlet.Several pairs of HOODED MERGANSERS were displaying inside Treman Marina and in the Inlet next to the white lighthouse jetty.--Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] FW: [GeneseeBirds-L] Chipping Sparrow
We had a Chipping Sparrow at our feeder on Snyder Hill on the 24th (reported for FeederWatch), and I'm sure I first saw it a few days before that.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] FW: [GeneseeBirds-L] Chipping Sparrow
I also had Chipping Sparrow a week ago. So the real question is, why did people first decide to report to several listservs on one day, but quietly report to eBird for a couple weeks? Listservs are live in ways that ebird is not. You can get echoes and feedback loops. -Geo -- 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/ --
