Is anything happening at Montezuma yet?  I'd like to make a quick run over
there when there is a diversity of waterfowl.

In addition to being heart-wrenching, I am curious if it could be some sort of 
contagious conjunctivitis, or if it is just an injury. I recall a while back 
reading something about conjunctivitis in house finches, perhaps?

Does anyone have any info or insight on this?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Geese!

2015-03-17 Thread Dave Nutter
As I biked home from a meeting in downtown Ithaca at 8pm I heard northbound 
Canada Geese fairly low. Between 10  11 pm Laurie  I went for a walk on the 
path in Cass Park. (It was a bit disorienting to be walking on bare pavement 
rather than cross-country skiing.) As I hoped, several times I heard northbound 
Canada Geese and Snow Geese overhead despite a few drops of rain. With some 
difficulty I was able to discern a few Snow Geese from my yard, which is a very 
noisy location among busy (wet) roads, bridges, a nearby small but full-running 
stream  waterfall, plus much of it is elevated enough to pick up sirens 
anywhere downtown.
