[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club November meeting

[Colleen Richards]

 The November meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club will be next Monday, November 13, 
2023, 7:30pm at Foundation of Light, 391 Turkey Hill Rd, Ithaca, NY 14850. 
Our speaker will be Meena Haribal, naturalist, photographer, and long time 
Cayuga Bird Club member. Come join us as she presents "Desert Hopping for Birds 
and Wildlife". 

 This past year Meena was able to visit various kinds of deserts to observe 
their fauna and flora.Traveling from the hot, tropical Thar desert of 
Rajasthan, India, to the temperate sand dunes of Nebraska and to the cold high 
altitude of the Tibetan desert of Ladakh. On her travels, she observed iconic 
birds such as the endangered Great Indian Bustard (only about 250 of them 
left), various vultures, Hoopoe Lark, Greater Prairie Chickens, Sage Grouse and 
the endangered Black-necked Cranes that migrate from Ladakh, east to Bhutan. 
There were also several mammals like Tibetan Gazelle, Kiang and the extremely 
rare and elusive apex predator, Snow Leopard.  Meena will share the experiences 
and challenges of observing this unique fauna with photos and videos.  About 
the Speaker: Meena is an ardent naturalist and traveler around the world in 
search of nature. She has been a member of the Cayuga Bird Club for almost 30 
years and has shared many fascinating presentations about her travels. Meena 
has filled the club roles of President and field trip chair in the past, and 
has led many field trips herself. She fondly remembers her first trip with the 
Cayuga Bird Club in March of 1993, an afternoon trip in search of Short-eared 
Owls. To attend the trip, she hiked from Schuyler House in downtown Ithaca to 
the Lab of O, a distance of about 5 miles, only to find that the trip went to 
the West side of the lake via downtown! Here she met Linda Clougherty and 
Ngampit Jagacinski for the first time, who later offered rides to many of the 
club trips. Stay tuned for information concerning a speaker dinner before the 
meeting.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club November meeting

[Colleen Richards]

Monday, November 11, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. 
Our speaker Christina Hoh, NYSDEC Biologist in Avon, NY, will give the 
presentation "Monitoring New York's Winter Raptors".
 Upstate New York is known for its harsh winters, but some raptor species 
specialize in cold and snowy weather and spend their winters right here in our 
communities. These charismatic raptors, including Northern Harriers and 
Short-eared Owls, are under a wide range of threats, and NYSDEC, its partners, 
and volunteers work together to monitor these nomadic birds across their winter 
range in New York. 
 
 About the Speaker: Christina first came upstate to attend RIT, where she 
earned a B.S. in Biology and was introduced to avian research through bird 
banding on campus and at the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory. She then attended 
SUNY Brockport, where she monitored Great Lakes coastal wetland birds and 
amphibians and studied migration physiology of White-throated Sparrows for her 
M.S. degree. She spent four years as a Wildlife Technician at NYSDEC, where she 
monitored rare bird species and their habitat, and now works as a DEC Habitat 
Biologist here in the Finger Lakes/Western New York region.
 Come as we discuss these birds' natural history, current trends, our surveys 
and discoveries, and how you can take part in monitoring efforts..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 Christina for dinner at the Sumo Japanese Steak Restaurant 
(Cayuga Mall on Triphammer Rd.) 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.See you all on Monday.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club November meeting

[cl...@juno.com]

 Monday, Nov. 13 will be the Cayuga Bird Club's monthly meeting.
 Our speaker this month is Dr. Emma Greig (Ph.D., University of Chicago). She 
joined the Citizen Science program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 2013 as 
the project leader of Feederwatch. Prior to joining the Citizen Science team, 
Emma was a postdoc in the Macaulay Library at the Lab of Ornithology, working 
with Mike Webster (2010-2013), and now continues to collaborate with the 
"Weblab" on questions related to behavioral ecology and evolution in birds. 
Emma's dissertation looked at the function of Splendid Fairy-wren 
vocalizations, including the enigmatic Type II� song that is given in 
association with predator vocalizations. 
 Dr. Greig's presentation is entitled: Stories from Project FeederWatch: What 
We Have Learned from 30 Years of Counting BirdsProject FeederWatch is a 
continent-wide bird counting effort in which people keep track of the birds 
that visit their feeders in winter. We will learn about how the program works, 
and perhaps more importantly, what we have learned from 30 years of data 
collection. Why are Anna's Hummingbirds expanding their range? Is feeding birds 
harmful or helpful? Project FeederWatch data provides insights into both of 
these questions, and many more. The meeting will be held at the Cornell 
Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm with cookies and conversation 
starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the 
presentation. All are welcome. Members are also invited to join Emma Grieg for 
dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30. Please rsvp 
to Colleen Richards @ cl...@juno.com by noon on Mon., Nov.13, so reservations 
can be made.
 
Have a great week everyone.Colleen Richards

Fwd: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club November meeting

[Laura Stenzler]

Just a reminder


The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, November 9, at 7:30 at the 
Cornell Lab of Ornithology with cookies and conversation at 7:15.

Our speaker will be Marie Read, wildlife photographer and Cayuga Bird Club 
member. In her presentation, "Alaska's Pribilof Islands: Bucket List Trip!", 
she will share photos and experiences from a recent trip.

Alaska's Pribilof Islands, in the middle of the Bering Sea, have long been 
known as a wildlife photographers' paradise. Colonies of photogenic seabirds at 
close range -- Tufted and Horned Puffins, Crested and Parakeet Auklets, 
Northern Fulmars and Red-faced Cormorants among others -- as well as Northern 
Fur Seals and adorable Arctic Foxes beckon photographers in summer, while the 
promise of rarities from Asia draws birders during spring and fall migration.

There is no speaker dinner this month, so plan to be at the Lab at 7:15 for 
cookie dessert before the meeting begins.

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

[Colleen Richards]

The Cayuga Bird Club is pleased to welcome Scott Taylor, Postdoctoral
Associate, Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Evolutionary Biology program,  as
guest speaker at our monthly meeting on Monday, November 12 at 7:30 pm at
the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (with refreshments at 7:15).

In his presentation, "Boobies, Upwellings, the Pacific Ocean and Mangoes -
Thoughts from Adventures in Peru and Chile", Scott will speak about the
Humboldt Current off the western coast of South America - the richest
marine upwelling system in the world. This current supports millions of
seabirds, has a huge impact on regional climate along the coasts of Peru
and Chile, and was the site of his Ph.D. field work. His talk will explore
the ecology of the guano islands and the seabirds that live on them as well
as his numerous experiences as a field biologist in these two South
American countries.

The Club will also be hosting Scott for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown
at 5:30 pm prior to the meeting.  This is a great opportunity for members
to meet Scott and socialize with other members while enjoying some great
food.  If you would like to join us for dinner, please rsvp to
clr73.richa...@gmail.com by Sunday evening so that reservations can be made.

Have a great weekend of birding and hope to see you Monday night,
