My understanding is that all NYS park rangers have degrees in forestry. So
I think they should know better about protecting wildlife. (Although I did
watch a park ranger carry a mushroom-laden log out of a wildlife preserve
and haul it away in his truck.)

Early in the darkening before the eclipse proper, I saw a changing of

How does this drop in population compare with N America & other parts of
the world?
Thanks.

A MD has found an old hanging plant pot on my back porch & is protected
from the rain. BTW I've read that the males incubate during the day,
switching with the females who take over the night shift. Between broods,
the 2 young huddled by themselves in the nest during one heavy rainstorm
last week.
Have there been any trials of solar farms located over parking lots? Double
benefit: shade for the cars and use of space that otherwise is driving up
global warming.

Well, there are so many sides to this issue. But no one wants to address
the elephant in the room. The most effective thing we can do is limit our
reproduction. Period.

I think that an Avian flu vaccine would be effective to help Condors,
unlike any other species. Maybe also some of the raptors' nests where
chicks are banded, too.

For a few years there have been 2 or 3 geese who like to roost high on the
cliffs near the dam at Treman Lake in upper Buttermilk Park. I never saw
any indication that they intended or tried to nest there. Perhaps they
enjoyed the view.

My understanding is that this is the main time when there will be daytime
sightings of both genders of both of our fox species. Now that the kits
have been born, nocturnal hunting alone is insufficient for feeding them.

Today at about 1:30, I had wonderful views of a singing N Waterthrush in
its usual place, near the boardwalk near the small pkg lot across the
street from the main woods. Also present were a Phoebe & a pair of Cowbirds

This looks to me like the bird has some Oriole genes. Same family.

Do the birds migrate at the altitudes in which the western fire smoke is
