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

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.).

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club March meeting
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.
