Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures
Paul Rodewald said a pair of Black Vultures seemed to be prospecting a barn recently between Freeville & Cortland. Last year the number of sightings over downtown Ithaca & lower S Hill, & near Titus Flats/ Wegmans/ the Elmira Rd strip seemed like some affinity - maybe nesting nearby? Or is it just that there are lots of potential observers, and they are conspicuous so they get reported more here even though they travel widely? Anyway it seems to be continuing. Is there a food source for them in the neighborhood? Or did they nest here? I wonder how many pairs we are dealing with, how many birds are local, and how many of the birds seen recently have been migrating through. - - Dave Nutter > On Mar 4, 2024, at 5:07 PM, anneb.cl...@gmail.com wrote: > > Let’s try to figure out where they nest this year!! > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Mar 4, 2024, at 12:04 PM, Laura Stenzler wrote: >> >> A new yard bird this morning over Hunt Hill Road.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club March meeting and speaker dinner
Next Monday, March 11, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Linda Ziemba, MNWR Wildlife Biologist, will give her presentation, "Wetland Management for Migratory Birds at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge" on Monday, March 11, 2024, 7:30pm at Foundation of Light at 391 Turkey Hill Rd.; social time starts at 7 pm, the reading of the bird list at 7:20, and club business at 7:30 followed by the presentation. The 10,000-acre Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in the Finger Lakes Region of New York is located in what was historically called the Montezuma Marshes. The marshes were drained as a result of dam and canal construction in the early 1900s, and area wildlife virtually went the way of the watergone. Establishing the Montezuma NWR in 1938 was the first step of many to restore the area back to its historic expanse of marshesan area thriving with wildlife. Linda Ziemba will discuss how staff at Montezuma continue to restore historic marshes and manage wetlands for migratory birds. About the Speaker: Linda Ziemba has been the wildlife biologist at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge since 2006. She is passionate about providing habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife and providing opportunities for people to connect with nature as land stewards. She began her career in wildlife biology as a volunteer at E.B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey in 1994 and has also worked at Izembek, Cape May, and Supawna Meadows National Wildlife Refuges.Members are invited to join Linda for dinner at Sumo Restaurant in the Cayuga Mall at 5:30 p.m. before the meeting.
