Re: [cayugabirds-l] Un Sprgs Mill Pond, Scout Project

[william hecht]

GREAT IDEA to do plantings !!!
I would be glad to contribute a few disease resistant elm trees and years
ago my father and I dug up lily of the valley and daffodils that were on
that site.  These could be replanted.

 I really like idea #2. Planting bird-friendly native plants would be the
 perfect way to upgrade the birding opportunities to be found there.

 This is great news, Fritzie.



 Now it is up to us to come up with a do-able plan to help the Boy Scout
 with a different project. Those interested could meet in one of the
 eateries in U. Springs and work on this.



 2 thoughts:

 1-  Is there another area in the Village, not by the pond, that
 could use some kind of project that we could help the young man plan and
 implement?

 2-  Besides a modest sign and kiosk about birds  history  the
 nature of the springs themselves at the Mill Pond area, what about having
 the Boy Scout help put in MORE plants, native plants appropriate for the
 habitat there, around the edges of the pond to extend the bushes that now
 exist on the north and south sides?

 Instead of cutting things down, plant more bushes! Dan Segal of Plantsmen
 and perhaps Sharon Anderson at Tompkins CCE could advise on the appropriate
 plants.

 Birding friends,

 Below is an e-mail from the mother of the Scout about whom I wrote that
 wanted to make a path along the south side of Mill Pond.  I have sent her
 copies of e-mails I've received. Today I sent her the last of the many I've
 received over the last few weeks  this is her reply. Now you must step in
  try to help him. At 81, with an 84 yr.old husband not in the best of
 health, I can't do more to lead this project but I'll try to be the
 go-between, if necessary. I have deliberately not revealed *ANY*
 e-addresses so as to protect everyone.

 I am proud of all of you who took time  effort to write to me, the mayor
  village trustees. Kathy has said she  her son are open to suggestions*
 OR* to abandoning the proposal all together. Dave Nutter has offered to
 help, busy as he is. I will try to talk to Kathy soon but perhaps not 'til
 after after Christmas. In the meantime, put on your thinking caps  if you
 are visiting Union Springs, look at the pond surroundings near the street 
 try to picture what might be a project the lad could do. He also will need
 to be looking at things in a different light with time to plan  present
 findings to the village board.

 Thanks to you all for your input. May you all have a very merry, birdy
 Christmas.

 Fritzie Blizzard ( no, I didn't order snow for Christmas!)   ;)

 Hi Fritzie,


  I have been receiving your emails and reading all the notes written by
 your fellow bird enthusiasts. I appreciate their graciousness in
 acknowledging my son's good intentions. I totally understand their worries
 about a path around the pond and how it might negatively affect the bird
 life on the Mill Pond.

 I was hoping maybe we could meet the next time you have a meeting and we
 could talk.

 Several letters had suggestions of some projects that would support bird
 watching on the Mill pond (blinds, kiosk...) We are VERY open to
 suggestions to adjust our original proposal (or even abandon it
 altogether).

 It seems like maybe we could combine my son's enthusiasm to do a service
 project for his hometown with the birding community's knowledge to produce
 something that would enhance the bird life on the pond and the community as
 well. With the Village Board's blessing, maybe we could design something
 new that accomplished both goals.  :)

 Kathy

[cayugabirds-l] Utilities and osprey nest

[william hecht]

Near Union Springs there are numerous osprey nest platforms built on
utility poles owned by NYSEG.  how does one get the utility to put one up
on a specific pole.?
Why did the utility do it in the first place?
