Yeah! Fun to dream, anyway. A few weeks ago I dropped some friends off at the dock for an Ithaca Boat Tour on the HAENDEL. I hadn't previously been up close to that steel-hulled vessel. It reminded me of the old LAKE DIVER IV over on Seneca Lake, which used to take research parties out weekly in all kinds of winter conditions. Pretty frigid sometimes (though there was a good-sized heated cabin)! Seeing the HAENDEL made we wonder if anyone has ever approached Ithaca Boat Tours about a winter birding charter? -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
