[cayugabirds-l] Petroglyphs & Florida tame birds
A little off topic for birding but I have several photos of petroglyphs taken along the Boise River, Idaho (includes a large crane-like bird). If anyone is interested in seeing them, contact me by email. There are also some good sites in central Wyoming if you're passing through. As for the "tame" birds in Florida, I lived there in the mid 80's and with so many people there, the birds have little choice but to accept (or ignore) our presence. Unless you look like an alligator, they don't see you as a threat and they have learned that people will often feed them, a practice that's discouraged but is hard to prevent. I use to fish some on the inland areas, with birds like herons, egrets, storks, ibises all walking right pass you. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
RE: [cayugabirds-l] OOB bird behavior
There are fishing places in FL where the wood storks line up to beg from the fishermen! Sanibel Island fishing pier used to have snowy egrets lined up along the boardwalk and people fed them leftover bait. Same with the brown pelicans. Lots of birds that we never see in upstate NY are "junk" birds in other places in the USA! And very OOB, laughing kookaburras in Australia steal food from tourists at campgrounds. These are the same places that all the bird photographers hang out...being parasites in their own way ;-) Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA Phone 607-539-6608 e-mail m...@cornell.edu http://www.marieread.com Now on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marie-Read-Wildlife-Photography/104356136271727 From: bounce-39139901-5851...@list.cornell.edu [bounce-39139901-5851...@list.cornell.edu] on behalf of cl...@juno.com [cl...@juno.com] Sent: Friday, January 13, 2012 8:35 PM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject: [cayugabirds-l] OOB bird behavior Florida (OOB!)

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Petraglyph bird quiz: Are there any Finger lakes Native art preserved somewhere that I can visit?
Hi Meena, Those people simply had other ideas than realistic depictions. They were absolute masters of design, and they created some stunningly great art- have you ever seen the animals, birds, and fishes on Mimbres pottery? --some of the most wonderful creatures ever drawn anywhere. Their images and designs had symbolic and religious meaning, they were not intended to be likenesses. The "hominid" drawings were of spirits, not people. You can still see some related forms today in Hopi, Zuni and Pueblo kachina masks. Thanks very much for sharing these with us. --John Greenly On Jan 13, 2012, at 8:09 PM, Meena Haribal wrote: > Hi All, > > I visited Three River Petraglyphs in New Mexico near Tularosa.

[cayugabirds-l] Petraglyph bird quiz: Are there any Finger lakes Native art preserved somewhere that I can visit?
Hi All, I visited Three River Petraglyphs in New Mexico near Tularosa. I was impressed by number of birds and animals they have drawn. I took lots of pictures, but have uploaded a few on to my Picasa website. i invite you to try identify the birds by their GISS. I have tried my luck and would love to know what others think. You can comment on the Picasa page itself so others can see. Great way to sharpen your skills and think of what could have been found between 900 to 1400 AD. But I also thought this, during the same period, people in Eurasia had mastered the art and had drawn and sculpted real life like likeness of drawings. Some of the miniature painting from Rajasthan in Western India drew minute birds with such details that with upside down binoculars when I looked at them I could identify many of them to species level. So my question is why these people had difficulty in drawing pictures of real likeness. Why was their evolution so slow compared to people of the other parts of the world. But nevertheless, they were interested in their surroundings and nature. https://picasaweb.google.com/mharibal/ThreeRiverPetraglyphsOfNewMexico# Are there any Finger lakes art preserved somewhere that I can visit? Some of the hominid pictures in Three Rivers looked like that they were drawing aliens! Very few drawings look like real human beings.

[cayugabirds-l] horned larks
A half dozen Horned Larks followed the snow to Cayuga View Rd in TBurg this afternoon. Previously, with zero snow, there had been zero HLarks.
