Join the BirdCast team for a live demonstration of a new tool for tracking 
nocturnal bird migration anywhere in the continental United States. The 
Migration Dashboard provides near real-time information on the fascinating 
flights of migratory birds across the United States each spring and fall based 
on data collected by a network of weather surveillance radars. Using historical 
and seasonal context, the dashboard helps birdwatchers and conservationists 
understand the bigger picture of migration and anticipate when migration 
intensity will be high. The dashboard will be an invaluable tool for learning 
about migration, planning your next birding trip, and supporting conservation 
actions that aim to provide a safe airspace for the billions of birds crossing 
the US each year. Register 
here.

[cayugabirds-l] A salmon breasted hairy woodpecker

2022-04-15 Thread anneb . clark
I have a male hairy Woodpecker  that has a strong salmon wash of pigment in the 
white of head, throat, breast and fading out on his abdomen. I have lots of 
pictures if anyone is curious including easily provided cell phone pics from 
his suet eating. 

Anyone seen something like this?  So even that I think it must be dietary 
carotenoids. If they display them. I don’t know if their red is melanin or 
carotenoid derived.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma spring programs

2022-04-15 Thread Johnson, Alyssa
Good afternoon,

Here are a few upcoming events being held here at the Montezuma Audubon Center! 
If you’d like to review a full list of our programs and events, please visit: 
https://ny.audubon.org/montezuma-programs-and-events


Join us for a Montezuma Birding Tour! We have scheduled many tours over the 
coming months at various days and times. There are millions of migratory and 
resident birds in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex this time of year. Throughout 
the spring, we will see new species of birds arriving every day including Tree 
Swallows, Great Egrets, Baltimore Orioles, Purple Martins, Black Terns, 
Sandhill Cranes, Osprey, and a variety of warblers including Cerulean and 
Prothonotary. Grab your binoculars or camera and jump in your vehicle to follow 
behind the Montezuma Audubon Center van for a guided birding tour!

The next tour date is this Saturday, April 16, 1 -3:30 p.m. For more 
information and to register for this Montezuma Birding Tour, please visit 
https://act.audubon.org/a/montezuma-birding-tour-041622


Earth Day, April 22, marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern 
environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day is widely recognized as the largest 
secular observance in the world, marked by more than a billion people every 
year as a day of action to change human behavior and create global, national 
and local policy changes. Join us to celebrate Mother Earth on April 22nd by 
getting outside for an evening spring hike! Along the 1-mile trail, we will be 
serenaded by the musicians of the marsh: spring peepers, Red-winged Blackbirds, 
and American Woodcock among others. This guided hike is from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. 
and is family-friendly.

For more information about our Earth Day Celebration Hike and to register, 
please visit https://act.audubon.org/a/earthdaycelebrationhike-04


There's a lot to look forward to in spring, including the welcomed cacophony of 
breeding birds! The sheer volume of songs and calls can often feel overwhelming 
for beginning birders, but these sounds offer an opportunity and a challenge, 
as well as insight into the lives of these feathered friends. Join us for a 
birding-by-ear workshop on Saturday, April 30 where you will learn how to 
identify birds through their vocalizations or brush up on your skills that may 
have gotten a little rusty since last spring. This event will be held in person 
from 2 -4 p.m. at Montezuma Audubon Center.

After the presentation, we will head out for a leisurely walk along the trails 
at Montezuma Audubon Center to put your new skills to the test!

To learn more and to register for Birding By Ear, please visit 
https://act.audubon.org/a/birdingbyear-043022.


If you have any questions about any of our events, or to schedule a private 
tour, feel free to reach out to us!

Thank you,
Alyssa
