[cayugabirds-l] Monday Night Seminar: Imperial Dreams--In Search of the Long-Lost Imperial Woodpecker
Please join us for the next Monday Night Seminar on April 29, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Visitor Center auditorium. Free and open to the public. Doors open at 7:00 and will close when the auditorium reaches capacity. Imperial Dreams—In Search of the Long-Lost Imperial Woodpecker Tim Gallagher, Author and Living Bird magazine Editor-in-Chief Tim Gallagher will share adventures and photographs from his journeys in search of the spectacular Imperial Woodpecker in the vast mountain forests of Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental. Large as a raven, with the deepest black plumage and brilliant, snow-white flight feathers that showed as a white shield on its lower back while perched, the Imperial Woodpecker is the closest relative of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. But is there any chance that this spectacular bird still exists? Join Tim for a fascinating evening detailing his recent work in Mexico. Tim's new book, Imperial Dreams—Tracking the Imperial Woodpecker Through the Wild Sierra Madre, was ranked #1 in bird watching on Amazon.comhttp://Amazon.com today. The book will be available for purchase and signing.

[cayugabirds-l] Mud Lock platform is occupied
About 6:30 p.m. today, 4.26.13, Becky I stopped to check on the eagles at Mud Lock saw both. One appeared to be feeding chicks but couldn't see clearly in the glare. Atop the former eagle platform at the lock sat an osprey. Another was perched in a nearby tree. Will they or won't they use the nest? We saw ospreys on 5 of the nests along 5 20 as well as on the refuge platform nest along the river north of the 5 20 bridge. Also saw several cormorants flying above the river (:((( ... Boo. Two prs. of buffles continue on the Mill pond here in Union Springs. Didn't have time to see if the male redhead was there. A Cooper's hawk tried for breakfast out back this a.m. but left hungry. A small flock of juncos continues to come to the feeders. On Wed. I paid $3.39.9 for gas here in the Springs.
