RE: [cayugabirds-l] Migratory Bird Teaty Act

I must admit I’ve always wondered about the “bird parts” bit. It’s one thing to pluck a living bird or kill it for its feathers, but if I pick up a feather from the ground, apparently it’s still illegal to keep it. The rest makes good sense. Sandra From:

[cayugabirds-l] binocular "recommendations"

I'm not exactly looking for recommendations, but input (on very little information, I'm afraid) on whether a few pairs of binoculars are any good. It's service recognition time, and amongst the gifts available are several pairs of binoculars. One is only described as "compact sport

Is that what they think a red-winged blackbird looks like? Or is it just a poor choice of illustration? Sandra From: bounce-121484551-3493...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-121484551-3493...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Chris R. Pelkie Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 11:24 AM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Birding in Europe

If you haven’t found anything by then, the Friends of the Library booksale starts October 11, and always has a lot of interesting birding stuff. You can page through what’s there and see if it looks good to you. Sandra From: bounce-118071672-3493...@list.cornell.edu
