[cayugabirds-l] MNWR-Tschache & Mays Point water levels

2024-04-17 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
Hi all,

I was pleased to talk with Linda Ziemba yesterday, 16th, while watching the 
Swainson’s Hawk on Tyre Rd. One of the subjects was water levels and the 
drawdown of Tschache Pool currently underway. She has updates that I’m passing 
along to everyone in light of her recent talk at the CBC meeting. I missed it 
live, but watched online. It is very interesting and recommended viewing. 

-Mays point will not be drawn down this year. She believes it will be good for 
another year as is. 

-Tschache Pool is taking a very long time to recede because of the recent 
rains, but is still draining. Hopefully shorebird habitat will be available 
there. 

Happy birding,
Gary Kohlenberg

Montezuma Audubon Center to Join Cracker Box Palace For Guided Spring Birding 
Hikes



Welcome Back Migratory Songbirds with a Guided Hike



SAVANNAH, NY (April 16, 2024) – Want to see the bright blue of the Cerulean 
Warbler? Looking to add Scarlet Tanager to your life list? Or are you curious 
about exploring new birding spots along Lake Ontario and the greater Finger 
Lakes region?



The Montezuma Audubon Center is excited to expand our birding excursions to new 
communities! Join a Montezuma Audubon Center educator at Cracker Box Palace 
(6420 Shaker Road, North Rose, NY, 14516) for a series of 3 guided birding 
walks this spring season to see the bright colors of the migratory warblers 
that have made their way back up north.



This guided excursion will cover 2 miles of trail with one steep incline. 
Sturdy and comfortable shoes are strongly recommended. No prior birding 
experience needed. We will provide all binoculars and field guides. Cracker Box 
Palace at Historic Alasa Farms is an animal shelter that cares for horses, 
cows, sheep, goats, pigs, geese, chickens, rabbits, and more. Cracker Box 
Palace is also home to 10 miles of trails filled with great habitat for many 
birds, especially migratory warblers, and sits up against Sodus Bay, providing 
a great resource to waterfowl.



Here is a list of guided hike dates:

Wednesday, April 24 at 10am

Tuesday, May 7 at 5pm

Saturday, June 29 at 10am



We will meet at the parking lot across the street at Cracker Box Palace (6420 
Shaker Road, North Rose, NY, 14516). Children under the age of 16 must be 
accompanied by an adult. Space is limited and registration is required for 
every hike. Hikes are $10/participant.

[cayugabirds-l] Peregrine hatch begins

2024-04-17 Thread Geo Kloppel
When I arrived after 11 this morning the incubating Peregrine was casting her 
eyes down upon her own breast, with her head cocked to one side as if 
listening. Sure enough, when she stood up her first hatchling was revealed.
