Perhaps I misunderstand the CayugaBirds posts of late but in the last couple of
years I have seen many references to birders using electronic calls to enhance
their
personal or group birding experience.
It used to be a condemned practice and very strictly limited to research, and

From the ABA code:
Limit the use of recordings and other methods of attracting birds, and never
use such methods in heavily birded areas, or for attracting any species that is
Threatened, Endangered, or of Special Concern, or is rare in your local area
So, the code implicitly recognizes these
Marie is right, as more birders also want to photograph birds it is
going to increase. I too am guilty of this behavior. I will not count a
bird on my life list unless I have a recognizable photo of it. It is
hard enough to find a bird when you can hear it, but in my case with
most of my high
I've heard this debated by many birders at many levels. Many pros and cons
have been argued. It is worthy of more research in to what if any negative or
positive impact playback has on individual birds, bird populations, bird
conservation funding. Ecotourism in general has pros and cons but

Had another spectacular SFO field trip. Was planning on
just a short day, 7-11 am, but no one showed up for just the
1/2 day trip. So, I more than willingly, volunteered to lead a group
for the whole day! I had a small group, just 4 of us, including
me so we had one car. What a day! 1 student got
Hi all,
There were a pair of Ring-necked ducks in the pond. It's nice to have some
water in it.

We took a ride up Cayuga Lake today and along the road at Sheldrake saw a single

waterfowl and

Our Common Gallinule may have been an American Coot.
It is still a bit early for gallinule (formerly moorhen) and
we only heard it. There has been a report of american coot(s)
in Marten's Tract that sound very much like a gallinule.
We did see a few coots up there, so it probably was just that.
I walked Leonard Rd. and Bald Hill School Rd.(state forest part, town of

And using playbacks is now used by bird photographers everywhere to entice in
birds, especially the small hard-to-see ones such as warblers. I am somewhat
hypocritical here, because I do use this technique myself on occasion, but what
has happened in bird photography is that

Hi Cayugabirders,
I'm embarking on a major multi-media project with Lang Elliott this spring, and
would like to enlist the help of local birders to locate nests of a variety of
common species. Admittedly it's very early for most of these, so please keep us
in mind as the season progresses. We
Hi everyone,
A brief hawkwatch (1:30 PM-2:20PM) from the Ecology House on Cornell's North
Campus by Eric Gulson, Ben Barkley, and myself produced an adult Broad-winged
Hawk along with some American Kestrels and Sharp-shinned Hawks along with the
usual Red-tailed Hawks and vultures. Apart from
Fellow birders.
Of course, the earth was created for our pleasure and
everything in and on it is here to entertain us.
We are superior and able to devise clever things that affect these
creatures; if something enhances our enjoyment, what else matters?
It is of little concern to us that
