[cayugabirds-l] November CBC trip Conowingo dam

[Carl J. Steckler]

On November 30th  I will be leading a CBC trip to see the Bald Eagles at 
Conowingo Dam in Maryland. We will leave the parking lot at the Lab of O at 
9:00 AM on Saturday Nov. 30th and return the next afternoon.

Hopefully we will see lots of Eagles fishing below the dam. My last visit there 
there were over 100 Eagles along with many Black Vultures and Gull sp. Not to 
mention lots of other bird watchers.

On Sunday we will get up early grab beverages and snacks and head to the dam. 
As the weather will possibly cold please bring warm clothing. Hopefully we can 
get there early enough to beat the crowd.

The trip will be overnight so you will need to make your hotel/motel 
reservations.  I would suggest the Red Roof Inn, it is reasonable and clean. 
Please make your reservation soon as the dam attracts lots of people.

The trip is about five hours not including necessary stops. We will visit the 
dam in the afternoon for a short time before heading to the hotel where we can 
work out the details of finding a meal.

I will have room for three in my Jeep so we are most likely going to need other 
vehicles. If you can drive please let me know.

This trip is open to anyone, you do not have to be a CBC member to join us. 
Please PM me at c...@cornell.edu to make your 
reservations and ask any questions.

Carl

[cayugabirds-l] Mockingbird

[Carol Keeler]

For me it was an exciting morning.  I spotted a red fox out back so I headed to 
the sunroom to see if I could watch him.  He ended up hunting for rodents 
around my feeder.  While out there I looked to see what birds were there.  It 
was about 6:45.  I get the most birds early.  Anyway, a Mockingbird landed on a 
metal decoration in the garden.  Very exciting.  I haven’t had a Mocker around 
here in many years.  They used to nest in my yard, but then we had a horrible 
winter with extreme cold, and I never saw one here again.  They used to defend 
the crabapple tree against any bird that would go in the tree.  I’m hoping it 
may stay around.  I have lots of winter fruits with crabapples and 
winterberries.
