According to a hiker's account that I've come across, the inscription on the 
arch reads:

Renwick Wildwood 
   Sanctuary
Cayuga Bird Club

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Fuertes Birds Sanctuary article

2012-05-08 Thread Meena Haribal
I have been reading the e-mails on Fuertes vs Renwick Sanctuary.



I was wondering how did or could Cayuga Bird Club rename a place by something 
else. Did they have to go through town administrators to change the name?



Secondly, if CBC can give names could some one in future change the name to 
some other local well known Ornithologist or somebody else?



This happens routinely in India. All the politicians end up getting something 
named after them and after their death next one come in line, when many places 
were named after something of local importance, either presence of nice tree, 
or a museum, temple or locations etc.



 I would have called it (Fuertes vs Renwick Sanctuary) Great Horned Owl Woods!



Just some more fuel to the discussion :-)

Thanks to Bill Hecht, I have placed his scan of said article here: 
http://www.northeastbirding.com/FuertesSanctuary.jpg

After reading this article, it would appear that the "Swan Pen" is actually the 
Fuertes Memorial Bird Sanctuary, (a.k.a. "Fuertes Sanctuary"?), following the 
untimely death of Fuertes. The top listed name on the planning committee was 
none other than Arthur A. Allen (founder of the Lab of Ornithology and close 
friend of Fuertes's). This may suggest that the original "Fuertes Sanctuary" 
was indeed originally located at the "Swan Pen" area at Stewart Park...but, 
what about Renwick Sanctuary? What is the label on the cement archway at the 
old SE entrance to Renwick? I'm wondering when that was created and, if labeled 
Fuertes Sanctuary, why so? What happened to the Fuertes Memorial Bird Sanctuary 
and the "seasonal museum" in the "old Cascadilla boat house" as described in 
the article? Did that ever come to fruition? What about the "stone masonry 
piers (sic) with Fuertes Memorial bronze tablets on East" that were to be 
positioned immediately SE of the "Swan Pen" at Stewart Park (are they still 
there?)?

Sincerely,

That ought to cement the proper name of the sanctuary into the minds of

Well that would certainly give us good excuse for having retained "Renwick 
Sanctuary" as the proper name for the woods!
