[cayugabirds-l] Slatervillle/Caroline TVs and ravens

2014-03-28 Thread Marie P. Read
At the Goetchius Preserve yesterday afternoon John Confer and I watched a pair 
of (presumably courting) Common Ravens as they flew overhead, swooping, diving, 
and rolling around together in midair. Thrilling and hope-inspiring!

And at the Very Leaning Barn on Rt 79, the barn itself has been propped up by 
an assortment of new buttresses much to the relief of the pair of Turkey 
Vultures perching on top of the roof. How long will their traditional roost 
(and nest site?) remain standing?! I can't recall whether it's known whether or 
not they actually nest in it.

[cayugabirds-l] Request for information on Snow geese and Waterfowls at north-end of the Cayuga lake

2014-03-28 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi all,
I am planning to take a bunch of kids of the age 7-9 year olds to see the 
spectacle of snow geese and blackbirds roosting tomorrow evening at Montezuma 
NWR/Mucklands. We plan to leave at 4.00 pm from Ithaca. Today being a warmer 
day Snow geese might take off further north. So I don't want to disappoint the 
kids if the snow geese have already left.
So please post your sightings to Cayugabirds or send me an e-mail at 
m...@cornell.edumailto:m...@cornell.edu or call me at 607 2298710 to let me 
know if you see snow geese and where did you see between today and tomorrow.

Kids and I would appreciate your information!

Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Meena
