[cayugabirds-l] Preliminary Merlin - help still needed

2023-06-29 Thread Karen
In short, thanks to the effort of many, the 2023 found more pairs than ever 
before, rising from 1 in 2005 to 2 in 2014 to 16 in 2023. Many pairs showed 
courtship and mating, but their nests were never found. Any further information 
would be helpful. 
 2023. 16 pair in Tompkins County. 
Seven pair unknown fate. One pair failed.  Eight pair with oldernestlings or 
fledged young.

[cayugabirds-l] TODAY and TOMORROW Bins Testing @ the Lab of Ornithology

2023-06-29 Thread Marc Devokaitis
Hi All,

I'll be in the Visitor Center *today and tomorrow between Noon and 2:00*
(maybe 2:30 depending on the flow)* testing compact binoculars (8x32) for
our upcoming review*. Different models out today than were out during the
last session. Input from the community so far has been extremely helpful
and greatly appreciated!

Sadly, the smoke will keep us inside for the testing today, but maybe we'll
be able to go outside for it on Friday.

Swing by if you can!

Marc
