[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl still at Finger Lakes Airport

2021-01-03 Thread Michael O. Engle 
We saw the snowy owl this afternoon at the Finger Lakes Airport south of Seneca 
Falls. It was on the ground near the windsock. We also had a bald eagle fly by 
on our way up Route 89 north of the Interlaken turnoff.

[cayugabirds-l] Christmas Bird Count results

2021-01-03 Thread Paul Anderson 
All:

I've been tallying the numbers from the Christmas Bird Count that was held
on New Year's Day. We're going to unveil the numbers at the Zoom meeting on
Monday. Until then, here is a teaser.

   - *181 people participated*, breaking the previous record of 165 from
   2017
   - Participants walked *315 miles* in 305 hours, and spent another *94 *hours
   birding from the car, and *21 *owling
   - We had *88 species* on the day, and at this point have 4 count week
   species, one of which is new for the count
   - *15 species had record highs*, and two tied the previous record high.
   We've never broken so many records before!
   - *No record lows or big misses*, although a few species were much lower
   than we have been used to in recent years

Please join us for the Zoom call on Monday at 7:30 for a presentation of
the details. Register with this link: https://tinyurl.com/cbc-2021-01-cbc.
Please note that we already have 60 people signed up, and our maximum
capacity is 100, so sign up soon!

Thanks,

-Paul

not been reported since.
