[cayugabirds-l] West side of the lake field trip
HI everyone! Please join me, Ken Haas, on Sunday, October 6th, for a half-day field trip on the west side of the lake. We'll meet at the Ithaca Children’s Garden at 8:00 am (near the big turtle) to car pool and will return around 12:30 pm. While there, we’ll walk up the Black Diamond trail for a short distance, then car pool to Allen H. Treman State Marine Park and the Hog Hole fields looking for field, water and forest edge birds. We will be walking in wet grass so be sure to wear proper footwear. From there it's a short distance to the upper end of the Black Diamond trail above Taughannock Falls for a quick walk on the trail. We may go other places, depending on available time and the inclination of the group. Dress for the weather. Bring a snack and something to drink if you want. I hope to see you there!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Seasonal changes in goldfinch feeding
I seem to see same as Tom V. with Goldfinches here. Niger feeder & scattered niger are full while sunflower seeds feeders empty out quickly. And of course they are finding a lot of other seeds in the bushes and Meadows this time of year.
