[cayugabirds-l] Check it out

2010-02-16 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
The article was sort of lost because of where it was. Who expects to read about 
birds in a "crappie" fishing article???

WeLoveBirds.org launched on 11 Feb. 2010 (mentioned today in the Ithaca Journal 
article "Anglers cash in crappie derby") is "an interactive online community 
for bird enthusiasts,  launched through the combined effort of the Natural 
Resources Defense Council & the Cornell Lab of Ornithology." 

The site is to have info on more than 500 bird species, other bird news, notes 
on scientific discoveries & be an open area for birders to contribute their 
thoughts.
Miyoko Chu says, "It is an area where birders can connect with one another 
around the issue that they care about ... where they can also easily tap into a 
wealth of resources to enhance their enjoyment of birds ..."

Google the site to get more info.

[cayugabirds-l] waterfowl raft

2010-02-16 Thread Elaina McCartney
A huge raft of waterfowl dominated by Redheads has persisted through 
the GBBC in the 800 block of Taughannock Blvd.  About 60 gulls just 
joined a bit further out.  Viewing conditions vary, but there are a 
LOT of birds.  A cat was skulking along the icy shore looking 
wistfully at the gathering.

[cayugabirds-l] OOB: Golden Eagle attacks White-tailed Deer (Illinois; photos)

2010-02-16 Thread Ryan Douglas
While thinking about our impending move back to the Midwest I stumbled upon
this link from the Illinois bird listserve. A lucky fellow watched (and
photographed) a Golden Eagle presumably attacking a White-tailed Deer:

Has anyone seen anything like this around here?

Good birding,
Ryan
