[cayugabirds-l] MNWR stop, Fri 7/26 (and reminder about Rte 90 50-garage sale)

2013-07-27 Thread Mark Chao 
Tilden and I made a quick stop at MNWR yesterday on the way to the NYS
Thruway.  At Tschache Pool, looking more carefully than we did the other
day, we found several BLACK TERNS (life bird for T) with many CASPIAN TERNS
far out at the back end of the pool.  The Black Terns were flying mostly
rather low.  We also heard a WILLOW FLYCATCHER at North Spring Pool, also a
year bird for Tilden.  We looked casually from the parking lot for the
Little Blue Heron here, but did not find it.  We skipped other parts of the
refuge and wetland complex.

 

The annual 50-mile garage sale is being held this weekend along Route 90
from Homer through Cayuga.  People heading to MNWR from Ithaca should either
plan on a very slow drive or seek an alternate route.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma shorebirds

2013-07-27 Thread Jay McGowan 
So far this afternoon shorebird diversity at Knox-Marsellus Marsh is much
as it was on Thursday, with the addition of two adult basic plumage
SANDERLINGS and four RUDDY TURNSTONES that just flew over Towpath Road
calling but did not land. Also at least one decent candidate for a
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER amongst the majority of Short-billed.
