Re: [cayugabirds-l] Follow-up communication to Cornell re mowing of hay at peak nesting time

Wonderful, Jody and everyone else who worked on this letter. Thank you so much for putting together something so thoughtful and informative, with constructive ways to move forward. Cornell may ignore it, but they certainly shouldn't. Sandy Podulka At 02:42 PM 6/27/2021, you wrote: >Hello

Kudos to you Jody and to all who contributed to this discussion. Hopefully a relatively small group of informed people can make a multi billion dollar institution (my guess) change for the better for our environment. Jim Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 27, 2021, at 2:42 PM, Jody Enck wrote: >

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Follow-up communication to Cornell re mowing of hay at peak nesting time

This is an excellent letter, Jody. Let's hope it does some good. Cornell should strive to be an exemplar of how to manage agricultural fields in a way that's sustainable and has the least impact on birds. Instead, they've just been part of the problem, which is a great disappointment to me.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chimney Swifts

As Jody said would be hard to tell at this point. They were in smaller groups kind of merging and parting. Perhaps an opportune feeding moment. Definitely notable to me due to good numbers. Linda > On Jun 27, 2021, at 1:57 PM, Joshua Snodgrass wrote: > >  > I ran a USGS BBS route last week

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chimney Swifts

Thanks, Jody! I'll keep an eye out later this summer for non-molting birds mixed with molting ones. Great tip for breeding confirmation, since I can never seem to track them to a nest site. Yes, the BBS route is 61043 (Trumansburg) and begins at Savercool Rd X 89 and runs south past Taughannock

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chimney Swifts

Hi Josh, I had no idea there was a BBS route through downtown Ithaca! That is fascinating. You may not be able to tell apart immature and adult Chimney Swifts right now, but in another month or so, the adults will be going through active molt of their flight feathers. Any bird at that time with

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Chimney Swifts

I ran a USGS BBS route last week that goes through Ithaca on Green St. with the library as one of the stops. I only had 5 or so Chimney Swifts at that time. I wonder if several groups have merged (there were other small groups of swifts at nearby stops), or maybe there are some recently fledged

There are approximately 10 Swifts foraging and twittering over the Tompkins County library. They so gladden me. I hope they’re finding enough to eat. Linda Orkin Ithaca, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME
