[cayugabirds-l] Wood Ducks
This morning at 6:15 a couple of Wood Ducks short-hopped over the ridge behind the West Danby Fire Station to visit my pond. They were about to hit the water, but aborted at the last moment when they spotted me. Turkeys are gobbling. We could see a foot of snow in the next 48 hours. -Geo Kloppel Tupper Road -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

West Danby is socked-in this morning, with a ceiling just a few hundred feet above the valley floor - a condition that sometimes produces a migrant fallout. Four Wood Ducks circled my pond just now. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Wood Ducks and Ticks
I took a short walk in the mown fields in the central part of the LP Biodiversity Preserve (West Danby). Ponds are just beginning to open down there, and Wood Ducks were concentrated in the small ice-free areas. I stopped counting at 16... Great Blue Herons were standing in a high nest out in the big swamp beyond the WD Fire Station. I may go back this evening for Woodcock, though the dogs will have to stay home: those fields are just silly with ticks already! -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Here is something I would bet has been seen by nobody on this list-serve. A neighbor of mine watched as a brood of baby WOOD DUCKS tumbled from a big maple tree on my street. The mother headed for a tiny pond nearby and my neighbor assisted by herding the ducklings in that direction. My neighbor is 8 years old. I am envious. How about you?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] wood ducks
Wow, that is a great story and something that young boy will never ever forget!! One of my goals this year is to get a young birders club goingunder the umbrella of the Cayuga Bird Club. I wonder if your neighbor would be interested in something like this. and I don't have anything actually worked out yet. But if anyone knows anyone, let me know. I think the first step would be to generate a list of interested youngsters. Thanks Bill, for sharing this with us all. It is a wonderful image to cling to. Linda Orkin Ithaca...

Re: [cayugabirds-l] wood ducks
Okay. Time for me to bow my head in shame. A dear friend pointed out to me that there was no mention of the gender of Bill's neighbor. Sometimes we are slapped in our own faces by biases that run so deep. As the mother of two women and the grandma of a little girl I find it so strange that I leaped to this conclusion about this eight year old child. Apologies to all the great birders and naturalists out there whether you started as a little girl or a little boy.
