[cayugabirds-l] June club newsletter correction

The June 2015 Cayuga Bird Club Newsletter, which was just distributed yesterday, contains an error which I would like to correct. A blurb listing new species which arrived in the Cayuga Lake Basin in May, which I have copied below my signature, is incomplete, misleadingly worded, and lacks a

[cayugabirds-l] Hendershot Gulf (and a plea)

This morning I visited Hendershot Gulf, one of Schuyler County's Unique Natural Areas. I entered the top from Swan Hill Road and walked down through the lost gorge nearly a mile and a half to the end of state land, before retracing my steps. The typical hemlock ravine birds are in there: Winter

No, I wasn't at the Brewgarden. There was a brown pelican off Poplar Beach cruising and doing the classic drop to the water. I have a passable photo and three witnesses. At one point it was being harassed by gulls after which it took off toward the south. Mike Duttweiler -- Cayugabirds-L

[cayugabirds-l] Update on 6 Merlin nests

There are four Merlin nests in Ithaca. The N. Titus St nest, which I thought might have been abandoned, has had lots of recent activity. Perhaps this change in parental activity reflects a change in the nest status; maybe the eggs hatched. Please do not go off the sidewalk along N. Tutus and

[cayugabirds-l] Brown Pelican - no

No luck so far refinding the pelican along the west side of Cayuga Lake. It was apparently sitting on the spit along Elm Beach Road for a while, but was not there when we arrived. We searched up to Varick and down to Interlaken Beach to no avail. Hopefully it will turn up before long. Some kind of

[cayugabirds-l] Avicaching Spring 2015 results, and another chance at binoculars!

Hello Cayugabirders, Hope that all is well, and that you’ve been getting out in the field some recently despite the drizzly past week we’ve been having. As I posted about last week, the Spring 2015 Avicaching period ended on 4 June, yesterday. During the 10-week period that concluded on the
