Re: [cayugabirds-l] OT? FYO bear nr West Danby

[Geo Kloppel]

That's my neighborhood, too. (Tupper Road). Yesterday I found a scat filled 
with coarsely chopped acorn shells, which made me think of bear. 

What a weird winter!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe, Arts Quad

[Suan Hsi Yong]

Yesterday morning at Sapsucker Woods, the starlings were doing kingbird and
wood duck and meadowlark (among others, no doubt).
Meanwhile, there was legitimate singing from chickadee, titmouse, cardinal:
sounded and felt like spring!

[cayugabirds-l] OT? FYO bear nr West Danby

[Nigel Dyson-Hudson]

This morning we got up and noticed that our bird feeders were on the ground.
Upon closer inspection I found that the 4 hook rod was bent almost
flat to the ground - I should have gotten a picture before
straightening it.
The stand-alone wooden box feeder had the plastic hinge for the lid
torn and the suet block on that feeder had fallen out and had chew
marks all around.
So we are taking the bird feeders down tonight.

We are just north of VanBuskirk Gulf Rd and west of NY Rt 34/96.

Our home designed deer fence doesn't seem to be damaged - it must be
strong enough for the bear to climb. (4 ft field fence wire 2 runs
high - cable tied together; heavy duty road sign U posts from Seneca
Supply - 10 ft so 8 ft exposed, but next time I would use 12 ft; rebar
woven through the wire at 16  ft intervals between the U posts; As
grape vines grow on the fence scraps of wood or tree branches are
added for bracing the wire.)  Nigel

[cayugabirds-l] Eastern Phoebe, Arts Quad

[cedar Mathers-Winn]

At 8:30 this morning in the Arts Quad at Cornell, heard an EASTERN PHOEBE sing 
one phrase of song. A few minutes later heard KILLDEER calls, but possible that 
these were from a nearby starling that was calling intermittently.
As much as I keep telling myself we may see some winter yet...

Subject: [saltpoint] Presentation @ Kendal on Wednesday

in Lansing, NY

Kendal at Ithaca, Auditorium
2230 N. Triphammer Road, Ithaca
Wednesday, February 3

Once the home of a large table salt producer, Salt Point has changed over the 
years. Today, this 34 acre natural area, located across Salmon Creek just north 
of Myers Park, provides a wonderful venue for families, hikers, bird watchers, 
and paddlers. But it wasn’t always this way. This presentation by members of 
the Friends of Salt Point tells the story of the area’s transformation with 
photos, anecdotes and historical documents.
