Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yes to White-Crowned Sparrow

[John and Sue Gregoire]

Bill, Larry, et al,

Eastern White-crowned Sparrows (EWCS formerly WCSP) remain here although numbers
drop day by day to where we have only a half dozen in the feeder area.
White-throated Sparrows are now mostly gone although a few were here through 
Sunday.

In the 30 years we banded here EWCS have been an annual treat spring and fall. 
With
only one exception in the early 90s, they stopover here for about a month in 
both
migrations.

[cayugabirds-l] Yes to White-Crowned Sparrow

[W. Larry Hymes]

Bill Mcaneny reported a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW and asked if anyone else 
still has this species.  We had a small flock up until last Thursday.  I 
thought they had moved on.  But on Sunday a single White-Crowned showed 
up and is still making an appearance --- late straggler??  We also still 
have ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS.  Based on our records both species should 
have moved on by now.  But it's really nice to have them stick around 
longer.


Another surprise bird for our yard popped in today --- SWAINSON'S 
THRUSH!!  Was this a Hawthorn Woods bird that took a wrong turn???

[cayugabirds-l] yes Waterfowl hunting at Salt Pt

[Donna Lee Scott]

Sorry Marie and others,

But hunting is allowed for both waterfowl and deer (!) at Salt Point.
Salt Point is a NYS DEC "wildlife management area" therefore these activities, 
as well as all the other activities such as hiking, paddling, and birding there 
are legal - in season.
Town of Lansing manages the area for the DEC, but the town has to follow the 
guidelines of the DEC for usage.

It is important to be aware that the recent changes in vehicular access (or 
non-access) to Salt Pt. and all the work on plantings, trails and benches etc. 
could only come about by the blessing of our town board - and please remember 
that Lansing is NOT like Ithaca/Cornell/TBurg with its huge contingent of 
environmentally appreciative people and attitudes; Lansing is a very rural town 
that has been in transition from all agriculture to suburb for the last 40 
years. So the residents hold all sorts of different views on land use, etc.
 
Since there is still a lot of pressure from some Lansing residents to "put Salt 
Pt. back the way it used to be", in other words to allow cars & trucks to drive 
all over everywhere on the point and drunken/drugged parties & illegal activity 
to flourish, etc., the Lans. Parks and Rec Dept. and us Friends of Salt Point 
have to be very careful to compromise on our demands and wishes. Just like many 
other mixed-use land holdings (think the Adirondacks), Salt Point has to 
accommodate several uses and attempt to respect the former uses and practices 
there, where possible.
It is a big balancing act and it could be reversed if we are unlucky.

I did not know that it was duck season tho!!
One can still walk in the Point trails, but be aware that hunters may be by the 
water.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Waterfowl hunting at Salt Pt?

I headed over to MyersPark/ Salt Pt. intending to photograph Canada Geese 
taking off against the fall colors (as they did there yesterday). To my 
disappointment, I found instead someone setting out an array of mallard decoys 
and a hunting blind on the point just below the Osprey nest platform at Salt 
Pt. No real waterfowl anywhere. Assuming hunting was illegal in the "Salt Pt. 
Conservation Area", I went over to Salt Pt. intending to talk to the person, 
but again to my dismay, that none of the signage, including the DEC "rules" 
sign as you enter Salt Pt. says anything about whether waterfowl hunting there 
is prohibited or permitted. Does anyone know whether hunting is legal there?

[cayugabirds-l] YES Snow Geese off Lower Lake Road

[Dave Nutter]

The conditions Barbara Eden described were true for the south end of Lower Lake Rd, but it was different farther north.Late this morning and mid-afternoon Ann Mitchell  I saw a large flock (several thousand) SNOW GEESE considerably east of the boat ramp at Cayuga Lake State Park on Lower Lake Rd in Seneca Falls and considerably south from Harris Park in the Village of Cayuga, i.e. keeping their distance from the shore. They were on the north edge of a persistent shelf of ice north of Union Springs. From Cayuga L SP north is open water with lots of ducks. These SNOW GEESE were generally more audible than visible. The warm south winds crossing over the ice caused tremendous heat shimmer, but on several occasions when they got excited (a couple times for unknown reasons, and at least once because of bozos plowing past in a boat - start of fishing season) and took flight for a minute they became more clear when they rose into the air, but as they descended became blurry again. There were also thousands of SNOW GEESE today on the mucklands along the south (Town of Tyre, Seneca County) side of NYS-31. --Dave NutterOn Apr 01, 2014, at 06:30 PM, "Barbara B. Eden" b...@cornell.edu wrote:On this glorious day we took a drive hoping to see flocks of Snow Geese on the shallow waters at thisnorthern point of Cayuga Lake. Much to my surprise, the lake was still quite frozen and the only waterfowl were small groups of Red heads and Canvas Backs on the small areas of open water.I wonder if they have skipped the lake entirely this year.~Barbara Eden

[Suan Yong]

Closer view from Poplar Ridge just as it descends, not the greatest spot to 
pull over.
