[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club March meeting and speaker dinner

2024-03-04 Thread Colleen Richards
Next Monday, March 11, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird 
Club. Linda Ziemba, MNWR Wildlife Biologist,  will give her presentation, 
"Wetland Management for Migratory Birds at the Montezuma National Wildlife 
Refuge" on Monday, March 11, 2024, 7:30pm at Foundation of Light at 391 Turkey 
Hill Rd.; social time starts at 7 pm, the reading of the bird list at 7:20, and 
club business at 7:30 followed by the presentation.
The 10,000-acre Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in the Finger Lakes Region 
of New York is located in what was historically called the Montezuma Marshes. 
The marshes were drained as a result of dam and canal construction in the early 
1900s, and area wildlife virtually went the way of the water—gone. 
Establishing the Montezuma NWR in 1938 was the first step of many to restore 
the area back to its historic expanse of marshes—an area thriving with 
wildlife. Linda Ziemba will discuss how staff at Montezuma continue to restore 
historic marshes and manage wetlands for migratory birds. About the Speaker: 
Linda Ziemba has been the wildlife biologist at the Montezuma National Wildlife 
Refuge since 2006. She is passionate about providing habitat for migratory 
birds and other wildlife and providing opportunities for people to connect with 
nature as land stewards. She began her career in wildlife biology as a 
volunteer at E.B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey in 1994 and 
has also worked at Izembek, Cape May, and Supawna Meadows National Wildlife 
Refuges.Members are invited to join Linda for dinner at Sumo Restaurant in the 
Cayuga Mall at 5:30 p.m. before the meeting. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at 
cl...@juno.com  by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club March meeting and speaker dinner

2023-03-06 Thread Colleen Richards
The March meeting  of the Cayuga Bird Club will be Monday, March 13, 2023, at 
7:30 pm at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,Our speaker, Alli Smith, will be 
presenting "Behind the Scenes of Merlin Sound ID". The Merlin Bird ID app, 
created by the Cornell lab of Ornithology, is a global field guide and a 
powerful tool to help identify the birds around you. Sound ID, the newest 
feature added to Merlin in Spring 2021, helps you identify 1,000+ bird species 
by sound even when you can’t see them - but how does it work? We’ll 
take a deep dive behind the scenes of Merlin to learn how Sound ID was 
developed, and how you can help us expand Merlin to cover more species 
worldwide. About the Speaker: Alli Smith is the Merlin Project Coordinator at 
the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where her work focuses on outreach and 
supporting birders. She graduated from SUNY-ESF with a BS in Wildlife Science 
in 2016 and has been bouncing around the bird conservation world since then, 
including working with seabirds and managing citizen science monitoring 
projects. Alli believes in the power of community to make a positive impact on 
bird conservation, and is thrilled to be able to support birders worldwide with 
the Merlin Bird ID app. There will be a speaker dinner before the meeting at 
5:30 at Sumo Restaurant (Cayuga Mall on Triphammer Rd.). Please rsvp to Colleen 
Richards, cl...@juno.com, by noon Mon., March 13.
 In-person meetings at the Lab of Ornithology start with cookies at 7 pm, the 
reading of the bird list* at 7:25 pm, and club business at 7:30 pm, followed by 
the speaker's presentation starting around 7:45 and ending by 9 pm. Colleen 
Richards
Cayuga Bird Club 
Corresponding Secretary
 * NOTE: For March, 2023, one of our standing agenda items -- the Reading of 
the List -- will take place at 7:25, prior to the regular business meeting, to 
safeguard the speakers' time while retaining a long standing tradition during 
the more "social" and interactive time ahead of the business meeting. Cayuga 
Bird Club meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, September 
through June, and are free and open to the public. 

  We will attempt to make presentations available virtually as a recording 
posted a few days later.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club March meeting

2019-03-07 Thread Colleen Richards
The Cayuga Bird Club's March meeting is Monday, March 11. 
 Our speakers, Susan Danskin, Diane Morton, and Ken Kemphues will present: 
"Borneo: A Birding Tour of Sabah, Malaysia"
 
 Susan Danskin, Ken Kemphues, and Diane Morton traveled to the island of Borneo 
last summer for a birding tour in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. Borneo's unique 
geography makes it home to a high number of bird species found nowhere else in 
the world, plus an amazing diversity of plants, insects, and mammals. Our 
speakers traveled to the highlands of Mount Kinabalu, lowland rainforest 
jungles, and coastal wetlands, seeing hundreds of birds, including all eight 
species of Borneo's hornbills, edible-nest swifts in a large cave, trogons, 
sunbirds, spiderhunters, blue flycatchers, and the world's largest flower.  
Bornean Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Pygmy Elephants, and Red Giant Flying 
Squirrels were among the many mammals encountered along the way. The diversity 
of life in the protected forests they visited was truly remarkable; however, 
much of Borneo's forested area is threatened by rapid expansion of palm oil 
plantations.
 
 Diane Morton is president, Ken Kemphues the current treasurer, and Susan 
Danskin past-treasurer of the Cayuga Bird Club. All three are avid birders; 
this trip to Borneo was the first time birding in Asia for each of them. The 
meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 
7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club 
business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are 
welcome.Members are invited to join Susan, Diane and Ken for dinner at the 
Taste of Thai Express (Rt. 13N downtown) before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please 
RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com  by noon Monday so reservations can 
be made.Have a great weekend.

Apologies to the list.

Colleen,

bounced twice.

The March Cayuga Bird Club meeting will be this coming Monday, March 14,  at 
7:30 pm at the Cornell  Lab of Ornithology. Cookies & conversation begins at 
7:15.

  Our speaker, Anastasia Dalziell, from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will be 
presenting "Strange Tales of a Curious Bird: Recent Research on the Superb 
Lyrebird".

The male Superb Lyrebird is world famous for its remarkable ability to mimic 
natural and human-made sounds. Postdoc Anastasia Dalziell traveled to the 
forests of southeastern Australia to study lyrebird mimicry and found that, 
contrary to early suggestions, male lyrebirds are highly selective about when 
and what sounds they mimic. She will also discuss the association between vocal 
mimicry and dance, along with other findings that challenge our understanding 
about the evolution of complex communication in animals.

Members are invited to dinner with Anastasia before the meeting at Aladdin's in 
Collegtown at 5:30. Please RSVP by noon Monday to 
cl...@juno.com<mailto:cl...@juno.com> so reservations can be made.

There will also be an opportunity at the meeting to sign up for tickets to the 
documentary, The Messenger, which will be shown at Cornell Cinema on Sunday, 
April 10th, at 4:30. Stay tuned for additional information.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our Club meeting on Monday, March 14
