[cayugabirds-l] Posting and Cedar Waxwings

We also enjoy the posts, don't use ebird so depend on our daily digest of goodies from you all. Thank you! One request and then a waxwing story. When we receive the digest, it becomes very unwieldy and hard to read when posters forget to delete the long tail of previous posts. Please help.

[cayugabirds-l] Posting and Cedar Waxwings

John Sue . THANKS!!! WHAT AN AMAZING WONDERFUL REPORT ABOUT THE WAXWINGS THIS SUNDAY MORNING! And I agree about the long tails. Only a few seconds is required to delete the previous post or part of it as well as the Cayugabirds info at the bottom. Fritzie -- Cayugabirds-L

[cayugabirds-l] Feels...and sounds...like fall

A decidedly fall-like feel this morning, with the chilly temperature...and the yard is full of autumnal sounds: young Blue Jays trying out their new squeaky voices, lots of calling robins and waxwings around (including obvious young of each), and finally a female Black-throated Green Warbler

[cayugabirds-l] possible Summer Tanagers

I was told about possible Summer Tanagers (2) in Lansing. It was supposed to have been posted on ebird but I don't know how to find it there. Can anyone tell me how to get more information about them on ebird? -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

RE: Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Knox-Marsellus. I would like to offer Dave full half-credit for the Buff-breasted. Not only was it his suggestion that we try east road one more time at the end of a long day, but it was also he who kept whispering in my ear No Bob, that's not a Mourning Dove.

[cayugabirds-l] Myers and Hog Hole this morning, plus the hazards of discarded fishing line

Below are my eBird reports for Myers Point and Hog Hole - nothing too surprising in either location. However, at Myers in a tree by the creek a Kingfisher had gotten trapped in fishing line with predictable and tragic results. Don't look if you are easily upset...

RE: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

I wonder whether the Bird CLub should take up a new project: a sign, using a photo such as Paul's (I couldn't actually bring myself to look at it), the sign to include something like Dispose of your used line wisely, to be placed near fishing areas, would make people pay more attention to this

RE: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

I think that's a good idea Marie has. I also think it would be good if some kind of project could clean up the accumulated fishing debris that's already out there, not just at Myers but also Stewart Park. I'd be happy to do what I can from my kayak when I go out but not sure it would be safe

[cayugabirds-l] FISH LINE

At Fair Haven, at the end of one of the piers and just off the beach, there is, or was, a 6 dia. piece of PVC pipe secured to a tree with a small sign. It was mostly full of used line when we were there last fall. Everybody used it. Steve -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

As far as contacting the people in charge (and with the hope that they will initiate some solutions to the problem of left-behind fish line), I suggest the following: Steve Colt, director of parks and recreation, Town of Lansing. The Town manages the park at Myers AND the area of

RE: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

Thanks for the contact info Bob. Yes, I was wondering how one would deal with the snagged line, since that's usually inaccessible (one of the reasons it is cut and left!). One way would be to remove the offending branch(es) to which it's caught...I have a long tree trimmer that could be used.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

Carl makes some good points here Personally I think it would be a lot more effective for us to just go around to all of the fishing sites we can and remove any line we find. Even making it a point that we make the extra effort when we are birding to watch for things like this and take action on

Re: [cayugabirds-l] plus the hazards of discarded fishing line - a new club project?

In response to Geo's note - I caught a fishing line in a tree on my first cast once, so I know how easily it happens. Luckily for me and any unsuspecting wildlife, the line was retrievable! Ann Mitchell On Sun, Aug 19, 2012 at 3:28 PM, geoklop...@gmail.com wrote: In my experience (having been

[cayugabirds-l] Marcellus-Knox Marsh migrants

I spent a couple hours birding along Towpath Rd from 6-9:30am. Early on there was fog moving in and out, but I found a Red-necked Phalarope and 1 (and possibly a second) Wilson's Phalarope among the more numerous shorebird species. I was unable to refind the previously reported Buff-breasted

[cayugabirds-l] Re

Let's just say I got excited about the bird. I always have to remember whether it is red or rose. I googled rose-breasted nuthatch and only looked at the first one that came up. I was baby wrangling a three year old , so made a hasty post. Apologies again. Diana Whiting

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Marcellus-Knox Marsh migrants

I spent time on East Road today, but later than Drew's report. Around noon I had 2 Black-bellied Plovers and 2 Wilson's Phalaropes but no Buff-breasted or A. Golden-Plovers. The second trip back in the late afternoon had me scanning with Dominic Sherony. We eventually found 6 A. Golden-Plover
