Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: [The Washington Post] Dozens of bird names honoring enslavers and racists will be changed
I agree with you. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Saturday, November 4, 2023, 4:43 PM, Carl Steckler wrote: I agree Dave, but I feel it is the right decision for the wrong reasons. Changing the names to better describe the bird, good. Changing the name because of what someone did in the past is wrong. you really have to look at the person in the context of their time, their morals and their laws. If the bird was named for someone other than the discoverer, then by all means change it. But if it is named after the person who discovered the bird you really have to consider the contributions made by this person and ask do they outweigh the faults? And what about the Latin names. A lot of them are named for people. Are we going to change those also? Again while I am in favor of changing the names to better describe the birds, let that be the reason for the change and not for any agenda which may or may not have anything to do with ornithology. It is a slippery slope we climb my friends. Ornamythelogy. The belief that you will actully see the bird every one else is reporting. Carl On 11/3/2023 23:56, Dave Nutter wrote: Bird names for birds. Cool concept. The article includes many good reasons. We will have to learn some new names for old birds. I look forward to this. In many cases, the person who first described a species for science decided to name it after someone who had nothing to do with the bird, making the people-name even more irrelevant to the bird. I hope one of the benefits of the new names will be that they relate better to the birds’ appearance, behavior, or habitat. This will make the species and their field marks easier to learn and remember, which I think will be more welcoming to all new birders as well as to any birders traveling to unfamiliar areas. I struggle with many western North American species named for people. Also, Kenn Kaufmann’s story is classic. - - Dave Nutter Begin forwarded message: Subject: [The Washington Post] Dozens of bird names honoring enslavers and racists will be changed The American Ornithological Society says it will alter all human names of North American birds, starting with up to 80 species. https://wapo.st/3Mr8fDw -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds ABA Please submit your observations to eBird! -- --Cayugabirds-L List Info:Welcome and BasicsRules and InformationSubscribe, Configuration and LeaveArchives:The Mail ArchiveSurfbirdsABAPlease submit your observations to eBird!-- -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pileated eating suet
Pileated are currently feeding several times a day at suet feeders on nails on side of tree. It seems they must be nesting nearby and come for reliable food supply. (There have been periods in past years where I haven't seen them at feeder for months at a time.) Also Bluebirds balance on metal holders as best they can to get suet, but prefer to find scraps on the ground as do the Catbirds.

{}#yiv8604610318 Good Morning, I also have the same issue. I thought I had
seen where someone had suggested putting fishing line on the boxes a certain
distance (don’t know specifics) wide and from the entrance and perch that
detracted the sparrows because they did not fold their wings as much as a
bluebird thus limiting the box to be used by bluebirds. I am hoping the
collective wisdom of the group may have some specifics on this that could be
shared. THANKS Marc Rustici From:

[cayugabirds-l] Dead Osprey Carcass in my house now
This morning on a deck on the Seneca River near John Glenn Blvd in Liverpool, not far from where Osprey's nest, I found a dead Osprey. It was wet with dew and I have it in a cooler on ice, but it appears to have a broken neck. Any interest anyone? Can't tell how long deceased...slight odor.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron breakfast
While checking Bluebird boxes on a golf course that runs next to a small stream, I saw a Great Blue standing with something dark hanging from its mouth that caught my eye. The Heron was shaking a rodent. It would put it on the ground and pick it up to shake it again. He repeated this about 10 times before swallowing the critter. Quite a large mouse or vole I would guess. I was at quite a distance. Sadly in one box, I had one dead bluebird young with two others alive and hopefully well. I was glad for them to be able to remove their sibling, as the odor -- although I guess they don't have much sense of smell -- was memorable. It's nearly time for Cardinal Flower blooms, and I hope to see some along the banks of the golf course stream as in past years, but the stream was dredged up last year with the soil piled high along the banks and the plants may not have fared so well with the massive upheaval.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Monk Parakeets nesting in Hector
I visited the Monk Parakeet pair in Hector late this afternoon after first stopping at May's Point Rd South to view the Red-headed Woodpeckers. At both stops the birds put on a quite a show.What beautiful colors the Parakeets have...especially their incredible greens! On the way home stopped at Knox-Marcellus where I saw Black Tern, Caspian Terns, Sandhill Crane, Yellowlegs, GW Teal. Many swallows lining the wires on 89. Stopped traffic for duckling crossing and turtle crossing on 89 within a 1/4 mile of the wildlife trail exit point. Busy road! And the Red-headed Woodpeckers fly so low the traffic on May's Pt Rd is a concern. Beautiful, beautiful drive on 414. Did support the Hector Winery as suggested. They have a super big, white dog, but hadn't heard about the Parakeets.

Hi Meena, Yesterday at Derby Hill, Snow Geese were flying south! ...no large flocks. There is a great deal of ice on Lake Ontario. You might want to check Steve Kolbe's report from Derby for today.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mergansers
Talk about confused Mergs...I found one in N. Syracuse walking down the middle of South Bay Rd near Taft Rd. in the snow Sunday afternoon. John Moore lived on the side street the Merganser ran to trying to escape my rescue effort, and we were able to get him to rehabilitator Jean Soprano for check up and fish, and then return to open water. How wonderful to hold a Red-breasted Merganser in arm!!! Apparently there is a lot of this happening with Grebes and Mergs. In their pursuit of open water, they are seeing roads as open water and not being able to take off from land once they are down on the ground! Two local rehab sites have had several brought in with so much frozen water this year. Judy Thurber Liverpool Sent from my iPad > On Mar 5, 2014, at 10:22 AM, "Pete M.
