RE:[cayugabirds-l] Fuertes Birds Sanctuary article

I have been reading the e-mails on Fuertes vs Renwick Sanctuary. I was wondering how did or could Cayuga Bird Club rename a place by something else. Did they have to go through town administrators to change the name? Secondly, if CBC can give names could some one in future change the name

Thanks Steve! What would I do without you?? Your reply reminded me that, in addition to all of the loons, scoters, grebes, and gulls at Aurora, I also had one DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT. Bob On Nov 15, 2011, at 8:06 PM, Susan Fast wrote: Re: loons On Oct. 23 of last year, just north of

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Aurora Birds

Doing some even more crude calculations I figure Bob had 4.54 Double-crested Cormorants. Bob I crossed paths at Myers at noon, and thanks to his brief note of what he'd found, I made the effort and also saw the RED-THROATED LOON far out in the lake, along with, coincidentally, 110 COMMON LOONS.

Hi Bob, I have lived with Mulberries (both red and white varieties) in my yard at several points in my life and never seen anything like this. I have often eaten them myself. I have seen birds eating Mulberries to no ill effect, and I have seen birds intoxicated from Mulberries, as well as
