[cayugabirds-l] Big brown bats .. Union Springs

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

At 7:30 this evening I saw a big brown bat flying around the spruce tree 
in front of the house. I probably missed seeing the 2nd one because I 
was checking on the orange halves that have drawn unwanted ants. I 
daubed Vaseline on the branch on which the feeder hangs.


This is the 3rd time I've seen the big bats flying in daytime. Insects 
are truly rare here altho' I did see a large moth & some kind of beetle 
flew into my hair. Thus far I've had no bug splats on my windshield.


Wishing everyone a safe Memorial weekend.

Fritzie

[cayugabirds-l] Barred owls at Lake Treman

[Kevin C Packard]

Hi everyone,

 A barred owl nest with nestling peering out was observed in a basswood tree 
cavity on the Treman Lake trail loop on the east side of the lake. Posted to 
ebird with photos (a little blurry as the distance was a little too much for my 
camera lens) and audio recording of adult parent.

Cheers,

Kevin

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Howland Island question

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Hi everyone! I’ve heard some rumors going around, and we got a question at the 
MAC, that Carncross Rd leading to Howland’s Island has been washed out at some 
point. I haven’t been in the area recently so I checked with the DEC on Morgan 
Rd. The road is not washed out. There was water over the road a few weeks ago 
but there isn’t now. If anyone ever has questions about access to or use of 
lands in the NYSDEC Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area (including 
Howland’s Island, Guys Marsh, the Montezuma Audubon Center land, among others) 
you are welcome to contact the DEC directly at (315) 365-2134, this is the 
Morgan Rd office and they can provide the most accurate and up to date 
information.

Have a great weekend.

I’ve only been there once, but I recall Killdeer nesting on the open dirt 
tracks. Watch where you step!



Best,

Robyn

I’m contemplating a trip to Howland Island tomorrow, but have never been before 
and am wondering if anyone has any tips.  Are there specific routes that are 
better for birders?  Do you recommend a driving loop or walking?



Thanks for any insights you can offer.



Best,
