I believe Wes is correct and I should add that this bacterium can be spread by
contact. The implication here is that we should be cleaning our feeders often
and
then treating them with a 10% bleach solution. Let that air dry and do not
rinse.
Over the last 25 years we saw a rise and then fall
Livia and I checked Stewart Park at lunch today. Although it was raining
steadily, the lake was very calm and ducks were easy to see around the weed
mats towards the east end of the park. We didn't find anything that hasn't
been around for a while, but did see the continuing male GREATER SCAUP, 2

Seen about 3pm on the east side of Cayuga View Rd about 100 yds from Rte 89
near Trumansburg. Flew up to a nearby tree branch as my car approached, so I
got a good look (no binox) at its dark back and tail and the striking white
slash across the base of the primaries. When it flew further
That's terrible. I can remember going with Jill to Stewart Park, which wasn't
far from where we lived at the time on Lake St., and counting the Cormorants in
that tree. Many times there were over 50 Cormorants in that tree.
The only things close to it I've ever seen were a tree on the Great
So maybe we need to consider constructing, w/DEC et al permission, an
artificial snag. We build Osprey platforms, why not a perching snag? Surely
a potential CLO/Citizen Science project.

I did not notice its absence last Saturday; I distinctly remember it
being still there two weekends ago, when a/the adult bald eagle was
hanging out in a neighboring tree -- which seemed odd to me since I

I ran into several large mixed flocks before and after work in
Sapsucker Woods today. This morning, the first flock was south of the
pond on Wilson Trail. Most of the 10+ warblers were two far and
obscured in the canopy, but I picked out one Blackburnian. Near the
intersection of Wilson and
Late this afternoon (29 Sept) I went just to the Knox Marsellus, Puddler, and May's Point Pools of Montezuma NWR. From the Knox Marsellus overlook on East Road I counted 220 SNOW GEESE, including 1 each juvenile and adult dark "Blue" Geese. There were lots of CANADA GEESE, and GREEN-WINGED TEAL,
