Thanks Geo for this suggestion. I just added this document to the 
Resources section of the CBC website: 
http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/Resources. It's right at the end.

I'm more than happy to accept other suggestions for similar additions.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Cornell publication for help with time to mow fields

2016-03-15 Thread Donna Lee Scott
I just skimmed the Cornell Cooperative Extension publication "Hayfield 
Management and Grassland Bird Conservation" and I respectfully disagree with 
Geo that it is mostly impractical for a person in the hay farming business.

It provides a discussion of the current research on the nutritional value of 
hay of various ages and talks about tradeoffs a farmer would want to consider 
if he/she cares about helping grassland birds.
It also talks about rotating hayfields for grassland bird conservation and 
other related strategies that consider the whole farm area from year to year.
It is at least a place to start for a farmer to read this publication.

In addition, it shows a plan to mow a field in such a pattern so as to help the 
birds in the grass to escape from the machinery outward through cover to 
adjacent areas, something that some farmers might want to know, no matter when 
they mow.

I am glad to know about this publication, since in the past I don't recall such 
an information source appearing on the Cayuga Bird List when people have asked 
for this kind of advice.
Thanks all for this discussion.

The NYDEC and Cornell Cooperative Extension documents that were mentioned seem 
to be oriented toward management for grassland wildlife, so they say that no 
cutting should take place between late April and mid August. That's fine if 
you're managing a nature preserve, but it's probably not practical for people 
in the business of making hay, like the one Michael was talking to at Winter 
Market. Farmers who want guidance about reducing the negative impact of their 
hay making operations on grassland birds need a scheme that recognizes the 
contingencies of avian breeding and the economic constraints of farming.

[cayugabirds-l] Event at Mann Library next week

2016-03-15 Thread Marc Devokaitis
Hi All:


Passing this to the list on behalf of Mann Library.


*Bird Families of the World: A Guide to the Spectacular Diversity of Birds*

*Chats in the Stacks book talk by David W. Winkler*

*Wednesday, March 23, at 4:00 pm *

*Room 160, Stern Seminar Room, Mann Library*



Many Many  people are captivated by the amazing variety of birds they
see and hear, and observing birds can be a life-enriching pursuit.



To explore avian diversity requires a mental map, a framework that helps us
organize our experiences and observations, and fortunately, the scientific
classification of birds provides exactly what we need. Whether you are an
experienced ornithologist or you have just discovered birding, David
Winkler’s new book serves as an excellent reference guide and learning tool
for understanding both the evolutionary diversity of the world’s birds and
their great variation in appearance, ecology, and behavior.



Join us for a *Chats in the Stacks* book talk with Professor David W.
Winkler, the faculty curator of birds in the Department of Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology, director of the Cornell University Museum of
Vertebrates, and member of Cornell’s Laboratory of Ornithology. *Bird
Families of the World*, published by Lynx Edicions and the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology (December 2015), has been designed to serve both as a text for
ornithology courses and as a resource for bird enthusiasts of all levels.
The work contains hundreds of beautiful color illustrations and photographs
from bird enthusiasts around the globe, as well as paintings of one species
from each of the genera in each family. The book is coauthored by Irby J.
Lovette, Fuller Professor of Ornithology at the Cornell Laboratory of
Ornithology.



Refreshments served and books available for purchase. This event is hosted
by Mann Library.

[cayugabirds-l] Fields

2016-03-15 Thread Michele Emerick Brown
The mowing information/resource is very interesting. It seems to be directed to 
people with 15 acres or more. I have a 5 acre field that used to be in hay, but 
which is slowly going to scrub (right now it's mainly goldenrod) because we 
stopped having it cut. Could someone direct me to information to help me figure 
out what would be best for birds? Should I get it cut, leave it alone, plant it 
with something else? I think Red-winged blackbirds usually nest in it.

I live out in Caroline so there are a lot of other fields being rotated between 
corn and hay.

Thanks,
Michele

I'm fine with the discussion taking place on the list. I think it would be 
good, in the end, if one person could work directly with the livestock guy I 
talked with to advise/train/support him over time. It's certainly a useful kind 
of knowledge for livestock producers who manage fields for hay. I wonder if the 
county extension folks are a useful resource to help out and provide support 
with this topic.

While I can understand why Michael wants to keep the conversation with the 
livestock person off the list, I think it would benefit many of us if we knew 
what are the recommendations are for when is the best time to mow hay or grass 
fields with regard to protecting nesting grassland birds and their offspring.

I would like this information to be posted on the list.
I often toy with the idea of trying to convince some local landowners here in 
Lansing to mow large grass expanses in later summer, but I don't know what the 
cut-off date is.

haying to protect birds that nest in the fields he cuts. Please respond to me

Tree Sparrows winter as for south as the northern part of southern states
like Texas and Alabama, so the bird your saw today may be on its way back
to the northern tundra border where they breed. Or it might have been here
all winter and is just waiting for the right conditions to head north. Too

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1197974-REG/snypex_9842_lrf1800_snypex_knight_lrf1800_laser.html?utm_medium=Email_campaign=Promotion_source=WeeklySpecials%20160314_content=Retail_term=Knight-8x42-LRF-1800

It’s a pair of 8x42 binocs from a company I’ve never heard of (Snypex!) for 
$800 ($200 off). Kinda pricey unless you count the fact that it has a built-in 
laser rangefinder.

So if you have a burning desire to know exactly how far away your now blinded
