[cayugabirds-l] Information on the Myers Point Red Knot in July

2013-08-19 Thread Jay McGowan
Hi all,
I know a lot of us were curious where the Red Knot that Kevin and Lee Ann
found at Myers Point on 28 July 2013 was banded. I entered it into the
shorebird banding database and was able to view where this bird was seen
before.

It was apparently banded on 2 Sep 2009 at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge
in extreme eastern Massachusetts. It was seen through 22 Oct 2009 in the
same area, then not seen again until the next year. On 15 Aug 2010 it was
seen at North Beach Island, Massachusetts, then on 1 Sep 2010 back at
Monomoy, where it continued until at least 29 Oct 2010. The next year it
was seen in the spring as well, on 19 May 2011 at Kimbles Beach near Cape
May, New Jersey. It continued along the bayshore here for at least a week,
then was resighted at Little Sipson Island, Massachusetts (a bit north of
Monomoy) on 2 Aug 2011, then on 24 Aug 2011 it was back at Monomoy, where
it was once again seen through October. Last year it was seen on 21-30 Mar
2012 at Kiawah Island in South Carolina but was not reported all fall. This
year it was seen in the Kimbles Beach area in New Jersey from 27-30 May
2013 and not reported again until we saw it here on Cayuga Lake on 28 Jul
2013.

Here is a photo of the bird, for those of you who didn't see it or want to
be reminded:

Pretty cool! I wish we could find out that much information on ALL the
vagrants we see here.

Cheers,
-Jay

Fantastic. Thanks Jay!  According to that history our bird should have turned 
due east to show up again at Monomoy as planned.

Will be interesting to see if it is resighted there again this fall, to
support such a navigational strategy!

[cayugabirds-l] Link to Mushrooms of Park preseve and surroundings

2013-08-19 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi all,

 Here is a link to mushrooms I photographed yesterday at Park Preserve and it 
adjacent locations. Light was too low so had to use the flash and my camera is 
doing something strange or I don't know how to use the camera with TTL flash.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/69522173716942833/albums/5913967755667860609

But still you can see the verities and colors etc. I have not had the time to 
identify them.  I hope to go when the light is better or after I learn how to 
use my camera with flash!



Cheers

Meena

[cayugabirds-l] Bats

2013-08-19 Thread Susan Fast
I started my occasional nighthawk survey from my house this evening.  None
of those yet, but a scan with the scope revealed 11 BATS!  This is far more
than I usually see here, and is an encouraging sign.

[cayugabirds-l] OT: fab mushroom photos

2013-08-19 Thread Karen Edelstein
Hi Meena,

Great finds! Two of your mushrooms (pages 2 and 13) are actually not fungi,
but are saprophytic, nonphotosynthetic flowering plants. Probably Indian
pipe,  Monotropa uniflora.
