[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Gulls
I made a brief stop at Stewart Park around 4:30. With all the Ring-billed, Herring and Great Blacked-backed Gulls there was one adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and one juvenile Iceland Gull at a nice not-to-far distance. Happy "getting close to spring" birding, Gary -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to create a new citizen science project called The *YardMap Network*.

[cayugabirds-l] 3 bird related events in March at Sciencenter in Ithaca
I happened upon info on three upcoming bird related events at the Sciencenter in Ithaca: http://www.sciencenter.org/whatsnew/eventscalendar.asp 1)Showtime! Pollution and Bird Songs Saturday, March 6, 2 p.m. Can pollution change the way birds sing? Sara DeLeon of Cornell University will present how common song birds such as Black Capped Chickadees and Song Sparrows change their songs in response to pollution, specifically PCBs. 2)This one sounds like a bird related storytime story: Curiosity Corner Program for Our Youngest Visitors Early Childhood Programs in the Curiosity Corner are especially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Storytime and Tactile Time are included with admission. Kids under three receive free admission. Storytime: Feathers for Lunch Tuesday, March 9, 10:30 a.m. Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to hear the story "Feathers for Lunch" by Lois Ehlert and make a feather collage to take home. -- 3)Showtime! Whoo Do You Eat? Saturday, March 20, 2 p.m. Learn what owls eat with Sciencenter educator John Alvarez del Castillo. Families will dissect real "owl pellets"--the regurgitated fur, bones, and other inedible parts of an owl's diet!

[cayugabirds-l] Worms Again
I am re-sending this posting; apparently it did not go through 2/28/10 Several of our birds enjoy meal worms. Apparently there are differing forms of worms available, e.g. freeze dried, live, etc. I'm wondering how many choices there are and which are best choices and why. My main interest is to feed bluebirds and Carolina wrens.
