[cayugabirds-l] Birding Knox-Marcellus Marsh

[david nicosia]

Lately, and soon with fall migration, Knox-Marcellus Marsh continues andwill 
continue to show why it is such an amazingly diverse place for 
shorebirds, waterfowl, gulls etc. I was looking on Google Earth and 
measuring distances from Towpath Road to the NE corner of K-M Marsh(where the 
shorebirds often congregate) and also from East Rd to this spot. 
I also measured from East Rd to where the Garganey was present. The 
distances are basically around .4 to .6 miles. This makes it hard for the 
majority of 
birders who don't have high end scopes or can't get there without heat 
shimmer and with proper lighting. This will shut down long distance 
visibilityno matter what kind of optics you have. 

So, I hope we can begin the weekend shorebird walks again after nestingseason 
on the dikes. I volunteer to "lead" at least one if not two. I put "lead"in 
quotes because many top-end birders well beyond my skill level will show upand 
it becomes a very good learning experience for all of us. I hopeothers will 
lead too as many have done in the past. This is a great chanceto open this up 
to more birders and introduce them to the remarkableplace this really is.
Thanks, 

Dave Nicosia

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Father's Day birds

[Donna Lee Scott]

Father Downy Woodpecker is feeding his begging baby at my eye level in the tree 
outside my big screen porch.
I have at least 3, if not 4 Brown Thrashers cavorting in the front yard, dust 
bathing and maybe "anting" on the road shoulder - probably the father is there 
with some young and their mother.
Tufted Titmouse is feeding baby in the tree too, just can't tell if it is 
father or mother.

I makes me think of my own dear departed father who took good care of us.
Happy Day all you fathers out there!

The bird activity in my yard has been most entertaining of late. The Redwings 
were most disturbed by what turned out to be a weasel patrolling around the 
pond yesterday. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, I heard chattering 
from what turned out to be an Oriole nest. Needless to say I was thrilled. 
Yesterday, I watched her do most of the feeding while Dad chased off the Blue 
Jay. This morning, I watched the nest with my scope and could see four little 
heads/necks reaching for their next meal and it was Dad bringing breakfast.

Cheers to all the dads on this day.
