[cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture, Cornell Compost
A BLACK VULTURE is currently sitting with many, many Turkey Vultures behind the piles at the Cornell compost facility off Stevenson Road. A few juvenile Turkeys around as well, so beware, but the Black stands out as smaller and differently shapes, with longer legs, all dark head, and white on visible primaries.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black Vulture, Cornell Compost
Now there are TWO Black Vultures here, sitting together on a board fence in the island of bushes between the two silver canopies on the slope above the piles. Conditions are a bit mucky in the piles, so looking from Stevenson might be the way to go, they should be visible from there at the moment.

[cayugabirds-l] Mud Lock red headed woodpecker, etc
Becky I got to see the RHWP hawking insects at 4 p.m. on our way to get lucious, ($35 for full bu.) just-picked peaches at Port Bay yesterday. Stopped at Morgan Rd. on the way home. Saw over 30 Woodies on the little pond, to Becky's delight. Also saw 2 kestrals there + many g. w. egrets gbhs. Mosquitoes were FIERCE! Just as we were about to leave an AM. Bittern landed on the line just beyond the kestral box!!

[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures on the move?
A few minutes ago Ben Barkley reported a BLACK VULTURE headed north over Beebe Lake on campus, so either we are having a Black Vulture invasion or at least one of my birds from this morning is moving around. I last saw them at 8:50 when they were still sitting on the fence above the piles, but Matt Medler reported they had moved onto the piles themselves a little later. Has anyone looked yet this afternoon? -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] OT-Request for Stewart Park photos
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. Linda Orkin President, Cayuga Bird Club -- Don't ask what your bird club can do for you, ask what you can do for your bird club!!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures on the move?
I saw them sitting on the compost pile at 5:00. They weren't together but were in a line of T.V.'s. Very cooperative and best seen from Stevenson Road.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] OT-Request for Stewart Park photos - CLARIFICATION
HI everyone, Just wanted to clarify: We are NOT requesting photos to be reproduced in the interpretive panels. We ARE ONLY requesting photos to be included in a celebratory slide show that we will present at the September CBC meeting, in a similar format to the one we hold in January. It's just so people can share their images and show how much Stewart Park means to us all as a birding community. If you'd like to submit images (3 per person please) , please email me jpegs sized at no more than 1000 px on the longest side, and I'll include them in the presentation. Deadline is midnight September 5th.

[cayugabirds-l] Ulysses Bald Eagle nest gone
Today I stopped by Maplewood Road off NYS-89 in Ulysses to confirm my impression on a recent drive-by: there were no Bald Eagles in the nest tree (which did not surprise me, since I thought the 2 young had likely fledged and moved on) but there was also NO NEST. It seems to have fallen down for some reason. The nest tree is stil there, but unless I am quite mistaken, the nest is not merely hidden but missing altogether. I wonder if the heavy rains a couple weeks ago did it in. At least the nest did not bring down the tree, as sometimes happens with Bald Eagles. I wonder if the pair will rebuild here based on 4 succesful seasons at this site.--Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
