Hello to All of You,

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Cayuga Bird Club is once 
again organizing the Christmas Bird Count to be held, as always, on 
January 1, 2013.


As co-coordinators, Bob McGuire and I are always interested in getting 
as many people involved as we can.  It is a very prodigious endeavor 
and has been going on for 113 years.  An amazing data collection and 
these statistics become ever more important as we strive to document 
and minimize our negative impacts and birds and equally, labor to help 
all bird species. And this will be the 60th consecutive year that the 
Cayuga Bird Club has organized this.


There are several ways you can participate, you can choose one or do 
all.  We have area leaders for all nine areas of a 15 diameter count 
circle centered in Ithaca, each of them will greatly welcome your 
inclusion in their area. They will tell you where to go within their 
"slice"   You can do a feeder count at your own feeder and submit 
those numbers by phone as described on our website. Or you can choose 
to count birds on your own property as your count site and then submit 
these numbers to the appropriate area leader.  You should let me know 
in advance if you plan to do this so I can advise the area leaders.


Instead of putting all the details in this email, I invite you to go 
to this  link on the Cayuga Bird Club website.


https://sites.google.com/site/cbc14850/Resources/christmas-bird-count?pli=1

There you will see a map and descriptions of the  nine areas.

You will note when you read this that we will find ways for all to get 
involved.  If you would like to practice the counting protocol, I am 
willing to meet people at Sapsucker Woods on Saturday Dec 15 and/or 
Saturday, Dec. 22 in the morning at 8:30. We can go on a bird walk and 
tally birds as we would for the count.  Please respond to this email 
off list if you are interested in doing this.


I hope all will join in, there are several area leaders pleading for 
more help.


Feel free to email me with any questions.

Thanks very much.

[cayugabirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire

2012-12-10 Thread Jay Powell

I drove up after work thinking I wouldn't see the bird. After 10 minutes of 
phishing 2 Carolina Wrens came out and so did this gray beauty. Rain coming 
down heavy and I'm looking at a lifer. The bird was on the lake side before the 
gate where the road goes to rocks. Great find Tim!

Thanks Marie.  I had loved the picture of the Townsend's Solitaire on your

RE: [cayugabirds-l] TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE

2012-12-10 Thread Marie P Read

Sounds like typical Townsend's Solitaire winter behavior - I was in eastern CA 
a few weeks back photographing them. They set up winter feeding territories, 
defending fruiting trees (Western Juniper where I was) from waxwings, robins 
etc. As part of that territoriality they sing/call through the winter.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga lake basin map

2012-12-10 Thread Karen Edelstein

I'm not sure who authored the Cayuga Basin link on Google Maps, but anyone
who would like a kml or shapefile version of the boundary that I used to
create the maps in the revised Birding the Cayuga Basin guide released last
year...please just ask. That boundary was based on Wiegand and Eames' very
rough sketch, and then translated to a GIS using HUC 12 watersheds as a
basis. Those are drawn from digital elevation models, and while probably
not zoom-able to a parcel level, certainly would have more detail accuracy
than one that was based on a region-wide map. Geo, I'll cc you off-list
with a detail of Tupper Rd.

[cayugabirds-l] eagles

2012-12-10 Thread Susan Fast

After our morning walk yesterday, I mentioned to the wife that the day
looked great for migrating eagles.  I predicted that Franklin Mtn. would
have 15 goldens.  So after a long coffee break, I set up in the field across
the road from our house.   Shortly thereafter, about 1130, a BALD EAGLE
soared over.  It had an all-white tail with the head still brown.  Then a
group of 4 RED-TAILED HAWKS floated by.  I took half an hour off for lunch,
returning to the field at 1300 and immediately a juvenile GOLDEN EAGLE
flapped and sailed by, quite low.  I had to quit at 1400 to attend a
birthday party.  So I was very surprised this morning to see that Franklin
Mtn. recorded no birds at all yesterday.  So much for my Oneonta
predictions.
