I hope this will encourage more protection from state park officials at Taughannock. The encroachment on that gorge from neighboring business and the public needs to be kept in check. 🐦 Madonna On Tue, Sep 17, 2024, 11:35 AM Tim Gallagher wrote: > Here’s a link to an article I just wrote for Au

How wonderful to see a Peregrine so close! Yes, Peregrine Falcons returned to the Taughannock Falls area in the past couple of years. You may be interested in an upcoming presentation, *The Peregrines of Taughannock Gorge,* that Tim Gallagher, former editor-in-chief of Living Bird magazine, will b

Come to think of it, I saw an adult Bald Eagle later Sunday afternoon on the dead tree in the lake near the white lighthouse. That could explain the dead goose and perhaps the relative paucity of birds on the ice. —Dave Nutter > On Jan 12, 2016, at 9:37 AM, Dave Nutter wrote: > > For what it’s

For what it’s worth, there was a dead Canada Goose in the middle of the Stewart Park ice shelf on Sunday afternoon. I don’t know what killed it, but a Peregrine today on that or another goose carcass does not necessarily mean that the Peregrine killed it. Maybe the goose carcass is simply an eas

There was a brief flyover/circle overhead by a Peregrine of BR as she sat on the top SE corner of Bradfield yesterday after work. No dive bombing or talons. The PEFA then continued on toward the Vet School area. Ezra was sitting in the 2012 nest cup at the time and appeared unconcerned. Not
