Hello All, The Cayuga Bird Club is in the process of design planning for an interpretive panel at Renwick Wildwood. This panel will detail the history of these woods including the importance of several names familiar to all such as Fuertes, Allen and Needham and will highlight early Cayuga Bird Club involvement with the preservation of these woods. We will also provide pictures and natural history of many bird species there, and describe the habitat and it's relevance to bird abundance.
We will be discussing this project at our first club meeting of the year on Sept 9. We are hoping to have a slide show of images at this meeting, provided by local birders and photographers, of both birds and birders. These would be photos from anywhere in Stewart Park, to highlight the importance of this sight as a birding hotspot. We first approached our member list but have not had much luck with that. We would greatly appreciate it if any of you could provide some slides. The format is planned to be the same as it is for our January meeting with people presenting there slides and talking a little about the captured moment, but if you can provide some photos and are unable to come to the meeting, I would be glad to narrate your slides for you if you provide me with context. Please contact Marie Read, who is compiling this for us, at mpr5@cornell.eduas soon as possible. She can give you the parameters for the file size and other advice you may need. The deadline for this is Sept. 5. If you plan to send something it would be great if you could let Marie know. If you have any questions about this, feel free to get in touch with me. And all are welcome to attend the meeting, as usual. Thank you.
