We also enjoy the posts, don't use ebird so depend on our daily digest of
goodies
from you all. Thank you!
One request and then a waxwing story. When we receive the digest, it becomes
very
unwieldy and hard to read when posters forget to delete the long tail of
previous
posts. Please help.

John & Sue . THANKS!!!
WHAT AN AMAZING & WONDERFUL REPORT ABOUT THE WAXWINGS THIS SUNDAY MORNING!
And I agree about the long tails. Only a few seconds is required to delete
the previous post or part of it as well as the Cayugabirds info at the
bottom.

Cayugabirds-
A decidedly fall-like feel this morning, with the chilly temperature...and the
yard is full of autumnal sounds: young Blue Jays trying out their new squeaky
voices, lots of calling robins and waxwings around (including obvious young of
each), and finally a female Black-throated Green Warbler per
I was told about possible Summer Tanagers (2) in Lansing. It was supposed
to have been posted on ebird but I don't know how to find it there. Can
anyone tell me how to get more information about them on ebird?

Below are my eBird reports for Myers Point and Hog Hole - nothing too
surprising in either location.
However, at Myers in a tree by the creek a Kingfisher had gotten trapped in
fishing line with predictable and tragic results.
Don't look if you are easily upset...

Hi,
We had a Rose-breasted Nuthatch at the feeder this afternoon.

At Fair Haven, at the end of one of the piers and just off the beach, there
is, or was, a 6" dia. piece of PVC pipe secured to a tree with a small
sign. It was mostly full of used line when we were there last fall.
Everybody used it. Steve

As far as contacting the people in charge (and with the hope that they
will initiate some solutions to the problem of left-behind fish line),
I suggest the following:
Steve Colt, director of parks and recreation, Town of Lansing. The
Town manages the park at Myers AND the area of Sal
Thanks for the contact info Bob. Yes, I was wondering how one would deal with
the snagged line, since that's usually inaccessible (one of the reasons it is
cut and left!). One way would be to remove the offending branch(es) to which
it's caught...I have a long tree trimmer that could be used. Bu
Carl makes some good points here
Certainly we could clean up as we go. But, unless I'm mistaken, the most
egregious line is that which is inaccessibly high and snagged on branches,
which is why it is cut and abandoned in the first place. To remove that would
probably require more effort and mo
In my experience (having been raised among anglers), snags in trees are "should
have known better" events, i.e. the result of careless or inept casting.
Experienced anglers can avoid this problem. More difficult to avoid are the
underwater snags, and I suspect the latter exact a greater cost on
In response to Geo's note - I caught a fishing line in a tree on my first
cast once, so I know how easily it happens. Luckily for me and any
unsuspecting wildlife, the line was retrievable!

I spent a couple hours birding along Towpath Rd from 6-9:30am. Early on there
was fog moving in and out, but I found a Red-necked Phalarope and 1 (and
possibly a second) Wilson's Phalarope among the more numerous shorebird
species. I was unable to refind the previously reported Buff-breasted San
This is a good topic for the CBC to tackle. Educating the fishing and
non-fishing public is key. I think signs w/ or w/o the photo would help as
well as sponsoring a publicized clean-up day.
I looked briefly at the DEC’s website to see how they treat the issue. Their

Let's just say I got excited about the bird. I always have to remember whether
it is red or rose. I googled rose-breasted nuthatch and only looked at the
first one that came up. I was baby wrangling a three year old , so made a hasty
post. Apologies again.
