[cayugabirds-l] Yard birds: winter wren, purple finch
Two new yard birds for me this morning in Commonland: a winter wren singing rather loudly (thus presumed close) outside my window which faces the woods, and a purple finch heard singing while a female sat feeding on sycamore seeds. A red-breasted nuthatch had been a feeder regular for a couple weeks, but hasn't been seen today.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mystery Mallard - Stewart Park today
Good guess, these often are confusing, but this bird looks more to me like birds we call intersex, apparently often older female birds that have increased testosterone production and end up developing male-like characteristics. Others might be able to shed more light on this phenomenon.

[cayugabirds-l] Tues. April 15 at Mann Library, 'Falconry: An Ancient Art Lives On' with Tim Gallagher
With ancient roots in Mesopotamia and Central Asia, falconry also finds impassioned practitioners in North America. Please join us for a talk with Tim Gallagher to learn more about the sport of falconry. Falconry: An Ancient Art Lives on in America Timothy Gallagher Tuesday, April 15, 4:00pm Mann Library, Room 160 [cid:image002.jpg@01CF540F.5ABDE230] At a talk presented in conjunction with Mann Library's current exhibit, writer, wildlife photographer, and falconer Timothy Gallagher will present a history of this art, reflecting on its deep history and touching in particular on its current practice in the U.S. Currently, editor-in-chief of Living Birdhttp://www.allaboutbirds.org/Page.aspx?pid=2580, the flagship publication of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Gallagher has had a lifelong interest in wilderness exploration and falcons. He has taken part in several research expeditions to Greenland, Iceland, northern Canada and Alaska to study falcons, raptors, and other endangered species. This talk is being presented in conjunction with Mann's exhibit An Extreme Stirrer-Up of Passions: Falconry at Cornell and Beyond. Exploring the ancient, yet still vibrant world of falconry with gorgeous photography, fascinating artifacts, and items from Cornell University Library's extensive falconry collection, the exhibit is on display in the Mann Lobby and first floor Top Shelf Gallery through mid-May. Refreshments available throughout the event. Exhibition and lecture funded by the Mary A. Morrison Public Education Fund and the Bondareff Family Fund for Mann Library.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Meeting and speaker dinner Mon., April 14
The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, April 14, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Saw-whet Owls: The Cute Factor Aids Science: 206,000 Birds Banded by Insomniac Banders Reveal Migration Patterns and Regional Reproductive Success Speakers: Dr. John L. Confer, Biology Department, Ithaca College; Dr. Leann Kanda, co-analyst, Biology Department, Ithaca College The Northern Saw-whet Owl is widely distributed, and an intensive banding effort provides a data trove for this tiny raptor. Banding records combined with GIS analyses reveal exceptional detail about migration patterns in eastern and central North America . This, with the ability to determine age classes by plumage, allows analysis of temporal/spatial patterns of reproductive success for breeding populations in different portions of North America. Dr. Confer will talk about his own banding effort and how his data, combined with that of other banders, has helped answer many questions about this little owl. Members are invited to dinner with John and his wife Karen before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express. Please RSVP by noon Monday to cl...@juno.com so reservations can be made.
