Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bard Prentiss local birder Obituary

[James Gaffney]

I have great respect for Bard and Gina. Really wonderful people. Bard was 
inspirational in overcoming limitations with no complaints, just making his own 
“adjustments “. Always upbeat   Bird hard Bard I won’t forget.

[cayugabirds-l] A few observations from the west side of the lake today

[Andrew David Miller]

Errands took me up along the west side of the lake today and a few observations 
of note (this was not really a birding trip, but the binoculars were in the car 
and road trips go faster when I have my kids counting and looking for birds!).  
The freezing fog rising off the lake in the early morning sun was a sight to 
behold.


  *   A flock of 500-700 snow geese was feeding in the corn stubble just south 
of Hosmer Wineries on Rt. 89; the number may have been higher as more were 
flying in as I left
  *   One snowy owl was visible on the Finger Lakes Regional Aiport
  *   10 bald eagles seen including three bombing down the frozen channel of 
Taughannock Creek where it goes under Rt. 89
  *   Multiple norther harriers hunting the fields around the airport
  *   Two roughlegged hawks (both dark phase) hunting near the airport as well
  *   Lots of ducks on the lake in various spots, but I did not do a deep look 
at them (definitively seen were common goldeneye, redhead, bufflehead, black 
duck, mallard, scaup sp., common mergansers, and ring necked duck).  I was a 
little surprised to see three red-breasted mergansers as well (two male and one 
female) in Varick near where 89 is close to the shore
  *   Quite a number of mute swans on the lake in the Varick area

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bard Prentiss local birder Obituary

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

His wife's obit was published separately right after Bard's.
He died 20 Nov. '21 & Gina died 8 Dec.21. Their obits can be found on 
Dryden, NY Perkins Funeral Home page. Both Gina & Bard contributed much 
to their professions, to peoples & projects around them & were very much 
admired. For sure, Dryden & Ithaca benefited greatly because of her 
desire to preserve history. How they ever found time in their busy lives 
to be involved in so many activities & still have time to enjoy 
gardening & flowers is a mystery to me.
My children knew Bard as a teacher when he taught at Dewitt in Ithaca & 
then when he & they transferred to Dryden HS.

Dear BBRR Supporter,
I hope this email finds you well and that 2022 has gotten off to a good start.  
Many of us at Braddock Bay Raptor Research are already gearing up for the 
coming spring migration season, with plans for field work and community 
programming in the works.  I am happy to announce we will be holding our 
popular Raptor Education Course again with a start date of February 9.  If you 
would like to get involved with BBRR as a volunteer, or if you simply have a 
great interest in raptors and want to learn more about them and the work we do 
at Braddock Bay, this course is for you!  A combination of five online evening 
classes and a couple of field trips make up the schedule of this course.  More 
information about course content and registration is now on our website 
https://www.bbrr.org/2022-raptor-education-course-offered/.  Space is limited 
so sign up soon to assure your spot.

Stay tuned for updates and plans for spring.  Thank you for your continued 
support as we head into another year working for the raptors and our community.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Not birds but.....

[tess]

Three options (at least):

(1) Peter's resource is great because it seems like at least initially, 
the government will have kits on hand to send out.

(2) But /in addition/_,_ for those who can find at-home tests for sale, 
anyone with health insurance /also/ can get 8 free tests/month.  So if 
you are a family of 3, your family can get up to 24 tests every month 
for free.  Each insurer will have it's own procedure so you may need to 
go online to find out if you can just show your card at the pharmacy to 
get them for free or if you will have to pay upfront and submit a claim 
to be reimbursed.  Right now at-home testing kits are hard to find but 
in a few weeks that should improve.

(3) If you want to be tested and can't find a kit, Tompkins & Cortland 
County residents still can get free drive through testing by appointment 
- more info here .  Others also may be 
able to get free tests by appointment if there is a need (they have 
symptoms, upcoming medical procedure, etc) or if their insurance or 
employer has an agreement with CMC - info here 
.

You can do any or all of these, choosing one doesn't mean you can't do 
the others.

And Birding Content: 3 snowy owls close by the Martin Rd. pull off 
yesterday afternoon, and roughly a zillion swans at the ice edge near 
the south end of Lower Lake Rd (where it meets Rte 89, south of Cayuga 
Lake SP).
