[cayugabirds-l] House wren serenade this morning

2017-04-26 Thread AB Clark
At about 630 am,  “the” house wren  sang near our house for the first time in 
2017. He was answered and it appears that there are now at least 2, possibly 3 
territories encircling the yard.  

“The” wren has resumed his singing position atop a spruce near the outdoor lamp 
(a street lamp style thing—25 ft high or so) in which the pair somehow managed 
to nest last year.  No electrical events occured and the wrens ignored my much 
lower boxes.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Invasivo plant at swan pen - lesser celandine

2017-04-26 Thread Nancy Tonachel Gabriel
In some places where little else grows it is an erosion guard; I am thinking of 
the steep hillside between Incodema and the children's garden south of Cass 
Park.

Dear friends,

I helped pick up trash on Saturday morning around the swan pen, and noticed 
quite a bit of this invasive around the lake side of the path.  There's not so 
much there not that it could not be dug up and stopped or at least slowed down 
as of yet.

I'm not sure if that is something this group would take on?
Or maybe I should let the parks dept know as well.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
