[cayugabirds-l] Save the date for bird conservation at Lighthouse Point

[Jody Enck]

Hi All,

As you know, we have worked with several different teachers and student
groups from the New Roots Charter School on our conservation projects down
at Renwick Woods and Lighthouse Point over the last 4 years.  We now have
the opportunity to engage the entire New Roots school population in late
September.  Details are still being worked out, but we likely will have
40-50 students one day and another 40-50 the next day sometime around
Tuesday September 27 to Thursday the 29th.

We will need folks to help who can talk to kids about birds and bird ID,
migration, conservation, and of course, some folks who can help guide kids
on our physical conservation activities.

Please let me know if you can help out in any way (likely 10-3 or so on the
days of activity).  This is a pretty big deal as community outreach goes,
and maybe we can encourage some news coverage of it to share with the
broader community.

Thanks in advance.
Jody

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Tick carrying birds

[Deb Grantham]

I, too, had that creepy but entertaining image, very briefly!

I saw a male scarlet tanager flying overhead from one group of trees to another 
this morning. Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line.

What worried me about this subject line was the dangling participle:  image of 
a gigantic tick, dripping cardinals from its maw.   Glad to see the hyphen.
Anybody got good news today?

tick-carrying birds. Herewith, the entry in its entirety:

"Several recent studies demonstrate that wild birds transport ticks and their 
associated diseases during migration. In addition, a number of bird species are 
able to contract Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium causing Lyme disease, and 
transport it to uninfected ticks that parasitize the birds for a blood meal. 
Ground feeding species (cardinals, catbirds, song sparrows, robins) spend a 
significant amount of time foraging for food at optimal height for ticks, and 
are excellent hosts and have all demonstrated the ability to infect ticks with 
the Lyme-disease causing bacteria.
