[cayugabirds-l] Bird Watching and Wine Tastings - May 22
May 22, Thursday, 6:30 PM-9:00 PM Under the Shadow of the Moon Winery Bird Walk Join the Montezuma Audubon Center Staff at White Springs Winery in Geneva for wine tastings and a bird watching walk. During this walk we will look for birds heading to their evening roosting sites and we’ll use these sightings to contribute to a global scientific project. Audubon Educators will show participants how to use the Merlin Birding App, as well as eBird, which are part of Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology’s ongoing citizen science projects. Don’t have a smart phone or tablet? Don’t worry! Anyone can be part of these projects, join us and we’ll show you how. After our walk, we will enjoy a select tasting of White Springs wines, including the oh so fresh and fruity Moon Shadow Riesling, paired with local artisan cheeses! Fee: $15/ person call White Springs Winery at (315) 781-9463 to register.

[cayugabirds-l] Clay-colored/Chipping Sparrows
Hi all, A couple days late to the discussion, but one of the two years Clay-colored Sparrow showed up at the xmas tree plantation on Lick Street Summerhill, I witnessed the bird copulating with a Chipping Sparrow. The other year it seemed to be an unmated bird. I think they were present there in 2005 and again in 2011 or 2012. cheers, Matt Young -- 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/ --
