[cayugabirds-l] anyone surveying Ceruleans locally?
Is anyone surveying Ceruleans locally? In Connecticut, "the data showed that several species thought to be rare, such as the Cerulean Warbler, had populations larger and more widespread than previously believed."

[cayugabirds-l] Help fix Lindsay-P Yellow trail Saturday
Laurie R. gave me info about creating a detour around the beaver flooded section of Yellow Trail at Lindsay-Parsons that I referred to in my last post. Since this is one of our Cayuga Basin birding hotspots maybe some if you will want to help or appreciate the update. thanks to Laurie. Work day with good company at Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Reserve 06/23/2012, 9am-1pm: NYS Rt. 34/96, Town of Danby Help! The beavers have flooded the Yellow Trail, along the north side of the preserve! Through the generosity of the neighboring landowner, the Land Trust has permission to temporarily re-route part of the Yellow trail onto neighboring private land to avoid the flooded area. Volunteers are needed to help move a wooden foot bridge. Tools and work gloves will be provided, or bring your own. Meet at John Smith’s house at 2373 West Danby Road (a.k.a. NYS Rt. 34/96, in the hamlet of West Danby). Please bring your own lunch and water. Contact Chris Olney (607-275-9487, chrisolney(at)fllt.org) at the Land Trust office if you'd like to sign up for this work day.
