[cayugabirds-l] Field trip NOT SATURDAY at 8...NOW SUNDAY at 9:00

2020-03-05 Thread Ken Haas
HI all,


Due to the current forecast of 4 to 8 inches of snow for Friday and Friday 
night for my Trumansburg area, I’ve decided to move the CBC West side of the 
lake field trip to ...Sunday March 8th, the very next day. But here’s the 
catch. Because we all turn our clocks AHEAD Saturday night, I’m CHANGING THE 
START TIME FOR SUNDAY TO 9 AM...NOT 8 AM. So our field trip will run from 9AM 
to about 12:30 PM, SUNDAY, March 8th. Sorry for any confusion.

Ken Haas

Ken and I were a bit farther north, doing the waterfowl count at Knox/Marsellus 
& Puddlers for the DEC/Refuge folks. Still a lot of ice, but the ducks were 
beginning to fill in. There was a report from one of the counters of some 
15,000 NOPI at West Loop Road!

I was a bit north of you enjoying the many Tundra / Trumpeter Swans along Lower 
Lake Road and north of Cayuga Lake State Park.. That WAS an impressive raft of 
Snows!

Took the afternoon off hoping to find the snow geese at Mucklands, but en route 
I found a/the massive snow goose island between Dean's Cove and Aurora, so I 
parked at Dean's Cove hoping to see and video a full eruption which never came 
to pass, just a couple of "minor tremors". Starting around 4pm skeins started 
departing towards the NW or WNW, which is to say, not towards the Mucklands. At 
this point, the island was stretched pretty long and thin, but still contained 
an impressive number of birds, echoing a distant cacophony.

Also had six Sandhill Cranes fly over, and a few Common Loons fishing and 
wailing in the beautiful gentle sun.

Hope for 72 days with the tour group Absolute Africa. She visited several 
important national parks such as Serengeti, Chobe and places of natural 
beauties like Victoria Falls, Ai Ais and the Orange river. In the course of her 
journey, she visited nine countries including Namibia. She saw more than 360 
species of birds and 50+ species of mammals. Many of these were photographed 
and sounds of their voices were recorded. She will present images of some of 
the birds seen and talk about the fun she had during the trip.
 
 Meena is a naturalist, photographer, videographer, sound recorder and 
scientist. She has travelled all over the world to seek nature. She has written 
books on butterflies and dragonflies. She intends to write a book on her Africa 
trip in the near future
 
The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open 
at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird 
club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.
