[cayugabirds-l] Seneca Army Depot Birding Tours
Dear Birders: The Montezuma Audubon Center and Seneca White Deer would like to invite you to a unique birding experience this spring at the former Seneca Army Depot. We will offer a rare glimpse into the breeding and migratory songbirds, birds of prey and their habitats of this Audubon Important Bird Area (IBA). For years, birders have wondered, “what lies beyond the fence?” Wonder no more. Now your birding community has the chance to find out. We will lead birding tours on our comfortable tour bus from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on May 6, 13, and 20, and June 3, 17, and 24. Come experience this IBA where over 120 species of birds either migrate through or live during the year. Furthermore, we proudly announce that our pair of Bald Eagles is back again for at least the 11th straight year! This site encompasses approximately 10,000 acres between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes in the Finger Lakes region. Having formerly been maintained as a military base, much of the area is successional habitat. According to the NY GAP data, approximately 80% of the site is shrub habitat, which includes old field/pastures, shrub swamps, successional hardwoods, and successional shrubs. The site also has extensive forest and some wetland habitat, and supports a population of white deer. This relatively large early successional habitat supports characteristic species, including the American Woodcock, Willow Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, Blue-winged Warbler, Eastern Towhee, and Field Sparrow. A Red-headed Woodpecker was reported in 2003. Besides the multitude of bird species, the tour will offer stops to look at a beaver dam, a personnel bomb shelter, an empty ammo bunker and a cemetery with the remains of colonial soldiers! In addition, you will have a chance to see some members of the world’s largest herd of white, whitetail deer! Chris Lajewski, Center Director of the Montezuma Audubon Center, will be your birding guide. Chris has nearly 20 years of experience guiding bird tours and will be a great compliment to our tour guide/driver who will talk about the wildlife and history of the former depot. There will be a 5-person minimum for each tour at a cost of $40 per person. Reservations can be made on line at www.senecawhitedeer.org or by calling 315-759-8220. Come experience the birds, the ghost deer, the military history and much more. There is only one place like it on our planet – the Seneca Army Depot! Sincerely, Dennis Money, President, Seneca White Deer Inc.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Muckrace Sept. 18-19 Register Now!
19th Annual Montezuma Muckrace — September 18-19th, 2015 Be sure to save the date for one of the favorite annual fundraising events in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex - the 19th annual Montezuma Muckrace. The Muckrace, organized by the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, is a 24-hour birding competition scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 18th and 19th. That’s one week later than usual to avoid the busy Labor Day and back-to-school week. Mid-September is a great time to be birding at the Complex. This globally-significant Important Bird Area supports a million or more waterfowl of at least 30 species, thousands of inland migrating shorebirds, a myriad of ‘confusing’ fall warblers and many rare and endangered species. The 242-square mile Montezuma Focus Area, which was highlighted under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan as critical migratory bird habitat, serves as the boundary for the Muckrace. Teams register under several categories (Competitive, Youth, Low-Carbon, Photo, Family/Mentor, or Recreational) and bird together from 7:00 PM Friday until 7:00 PM Saturday, trying to locate as many bird species as possible. Winning teams over the past several years have identified as many as 148 species, and collectively, as many as 192 species have been seen by the 15 to 28 teams, in a single day. This event, now in its 19th year, has grown in popularity and set records for participation in each of the past 3 years. Some say it is the cool custom-designed T-shirts that everyone is collecting. Others say it is the prizes, made possible by over 25 generous sponsors, including top sponsor: Wild Birds Unlimited at Sapsucker Woods. In addition to thefunds donated by sponsors, money is also raised through pledges sought by participants. Event organizers include the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation, Audubon NY and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and over 2 dozen volunteers. The Montezuma Audubon Center, 2295 Route 89, Savannah, NY will serve as the event headquarters, with participants returning to this site at the finish on Saturday to compile their checklists, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy recapping highlights of the day. Over the 19 years that the Muckrace has been in existence, funds have supported the restoration of wetlands, the regeneration of important wildlife habitat, and the expansion of environmental education and public use facilities. For more information, including 2015 Montezuma Muckrace registration and sponsorship details, visit the Friends website at www.friendsofmontezuma.org. Thank you!

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Muckrace, September 12-13
Be sure to save the date for one of the favorite annual fundraising events in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex - the 18th annual Montezuma Muckrace. The Muckrace, organized by the Friends group, is a 24-hour birding competition scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 12th and 13th. That’s one week later than usual to avoid the busy Labor Day and back-to-school week. Mid-September is a great time to be birding at the Complex. Thisglobally-significant Important Bird Area supports a million or more waterfowl of at least 30 species, thousands of inland migrating shorebirds, a myriad of ‘confusing’ fall warblers and many rare and endangered species. The 242-square mile Montezuma Focus Area, which was highlighted under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan as critical migratory bird habitat, serves as the boundary for the Muckrace. Teams register under several categories (Competitive, Youth, Low-Carbon, Photo, Family/Mentor, or Recreational) and bird together from 7:00 PM Friday until 7:00 PM Saturday, trying to locate as many bird species as possible. Winning teams over the past several years have identified as many as 148 species, and collectively, as many as 192 species have been seen by the 15 to 28 teams, in a single day. The winning competitive team in 2013 logged 139 species. But, being an expert is hardly a requirement for enjoying the Muckrace. Many other birders of all ages and experience joined in on the fun under the various recreational categories, including the newest ‘Photo Category’, where participants count only the birds they can identify and photograph. This event, now in its 18th year, has grown in popularity and set records for participation in each of the past 2 years. Some say it is the cool custom-designed T-shirts that everyone is collecting. Others say it is the prizes, made possible by over 25 generous sponsors, including top sponsor: Wild Birds Unlimited at Sapsucker Woods. In addition to the funds donated by sponsors, money is also raised through pledges sought by participants. Event organizers include the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation, Audubon NY and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and over 2 dozen volunteers. The Montezuma Audubon Center, 2295 Route 89, Savannah, NY will serve as the event headquarters, with participants returning to this site at the finish on Saturday to compile their checklists, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy recapping highlights of the day. Over the 18 years that the Muckrace has been in existence, funds have supported the restoration of wetlands, the regeneration of important wildlife habitat, and the expansion of environmental education and public use facilities. The 2013 competition accounted for over $10,600 in donations. To date, a portion of these funds were used last winter to continue a flyway-wide winter banding program for the American Black Duck.
