Re: [cayugabirds-l] Butler Creek drainage
On the basis of Geo's interpretation of the maps, and lacking further information, either ground-truthed or attested, I am willing to call this location "on the line" and therefore, by Kevin's tennis analogy, in the basin. However, another snag has arisen. Further information from the observer is that the bird was in nearby trees, not at a feeder, and was not described with much detail or unambiguously. My inclination now is to await further ID evidence, either written or photographic. It could be a Pine Warbler and I'd be happy to count it if this or another observer described or showed it. --Dave Nutter On Feb 18, 2015, at 09:19 AM, Geo Kloppel wrote: > > > That's right.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Butler Creek drainage
That's right. Trouble is, the eBird coordinates translate in Apple Maps to an address (4167 Route 89, Savannah New York 13146) that sits right on a saddle between Butler Creek drainage (IN the basin) and Wolcott Creek drainage (OUT). On the USGS topo it looks like the back yard at that address may drain both ways. -Geo Kloppel On Feb 18, 2015, at 3:23 AM, M Miller wrote: > I did a brief review of the waynecountynysoilandwater.org site and found out > a couple things.

[cayugabirds-l] Butler Creek drainage
I did a brief review of the waynecountynysoilandwater.org site and found out a couple things. The town of Butler is listed as partly in the Lake Ontario watershed (basin drainage) and partly in the Seneca River Drainage. However, according to a watershed map, the entire Butler Creek lies within the Seneca River drainage basin.
