[cayugabirds-l] Migration Video and question

Folks...I have a spring migration question and wonder if anyone out there can help. I understand that the lengthening days ignites hormonal responses in birds and, among other things, encourages "migratory restlessness" - an "itch" to begin their respective journeys north. But how does

There is urgent need for lovers of birds and wildlife along Dodge Rd. to be aware of imminent developments along Dodge Rd. The massive industrial scale solar farm proposed in all the Cornell owned fields along Dodge Rd and Stevenson Rd (as well as Turkey Hill Rd.) is planning to start

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Migration Video and question

Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas, and northernmost parts of Brazil and Ecuador actually lie in the northern hemisphere, where days have been lengthening ever since our winter solstice. Right now (at equinox) the rate of photoperiod change has reached its maximum, noticeable even in equatorial

As someone who believes we MUST reduce fossil fuel usage as quickly as possible and as someone who frequently goes birding along Dodge Rd., this is an issue which I personally grapple with. These woods are utilized by Red-breasted Nuthatch, Golden-crowned Kinglet, migrating Cape May Warblers and
