So the plan is to eradicate the Mute Swan in NY? I know it is invasive, but that seems a bit harsh. I just got this petition against this plan, in case anyone is interested:

[cayugabirds-l] possible Snowy Owl at Kendall

I am at the Front Desk of the Visitor's Center of the Lab today, and got a call from a Kendall resident, saying she saw a Snowy Owl yesterday while eating lunch at Kendall (so in the field-like area visible from the cafeteria area). Not confirmed, but thought I should share. -holly --

I have failed to ferret out the intricate details of the David Cup and the McLroy Award. Searching for answers has become more difficult that learning the secret handshake of the Masons or learning the membership of the Illuminati. Will someone break the oath and tell me the answers to the

[cayugabirds-l] Possible shrike at Cayuga Vista

I had a distant view of what is likely a Northern Shrike at Cayuga Vista Dr Lansing about 1130am today. When I pulled up, the candidate was on one of the low trees near the road, but flew down and into the hedge just as I brought my binocs up so I got nothing that time. I waited a while, got

Hi Richard and all, Here are some of the answers. The Cup was started by group of birders, I think main members were Jeff and Allison Wells, Steve Kelling, and Tom Nix and of course Karl David was also there. I remember Steve Kelling was the one who asked me to join the Cuppers Who was

Re: [cayugabirds-l] David Cup

No, the details of the David Cup are not supposed to be secret. Sorry to be so long to reply. The David Cup is named after Karl David, who I believe was a math professor at Wells College, as well as a birding fanatic. The McIlroy Cup is named after Dorothy McIlroy, a great local birder who was a

[cayugabirds-l] Correction re 2012 David Cup

One correction is that Chris Wood won the 2012 cup so he likely has The Cup until it is awarded to the 2013 winner. I believe some of the registration rules have been relaxed a bit in recent to encourage more participation but I could be wrong. People haven't been updating monthly totals as

[cayugabirds-l] David Cup corrections

1. It has been pointed out to me that Chris Wood should currently possess the cup since he won it in 2012 and Jay McGowan has yet to be awarded it for 2013. They have been the top rivals for awhile.2. I am not the administrator of the wiki site, but I have done a lot of editing when it looked like

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

In addition, there was an adult Iceland Gull quite close the Glaucous Gull. The wingtips appeared entirely white, although it was observed from a considerable distance. Nearly seven thousand diving ducks were off of Hog's Hole, and were not amused by the presence of a young Bald Eagle.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

From north of Treman Marina the immature Glaucous Gull was still visible on the ice east of the white lighthouse until 5:27pm when it flew north along with other gulls. It's on my Luddite List, along with the adult Iceland Gull which I saw fly past East Shore Park this morning. My legs are tired

Martha Fischer and I participated in the DEC waterfowl survey this morning on the west side of Cayuga Lake from Taughannock Point up almost to Deans Cove. We didn't find anything particularly noteworthy, but diversity wasn't bad, and there were definitely more birds around (in that section anyway)
