[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club - February meeting 2/14/22 7:30 pm

[Colleen Richards]

 Next Monday, February 14, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird 
Club. Lilly Briggs, PhD,  will be giving her presentation, "What is Finca 
Cantaros Environmental Association?  -  And how is it supporting bird 
conservation in Coto Brus, Costa Rica?"Monday, February 14, 2022, 
7:30–9 pm
 Register in advance for the webinar/meeting: https://tinyurl.com/cbc2022-02 
Finca Cántaros Environmental Association (FCEA) is a nonprofit environmental 
organization founded and directed by Lilly Briggs, PhD, former Postdoctoral 
Associate with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Established in Canada, FCEA is 
physically based in a southern rural county of Costa Rica called Coto Brus, 
where Lilly and her team strive to achieve their mission of "creating community 
and inspiring action through environmental education." FCEA's many 
environmental education projects address a variety of themes—from gender 
to bats to nature connection through art—as well as bird conservation. 
This talk will focus on how FCEA supports bird conservation through the Cornell 
Lab's K-12 Education International curriculum, tree-growing initiatives, and 
research collaborations such as the Motus Wildlife Tracking System.
 
 Lilly Briggs did her PhD in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell 
University with a focus on environmental education and the human dimensions of 
conservation, followed by a Postdoctoral Associate position at the Cornell Lab 
of Ornithology. During her Masters of Environmental Studies (at York 
University, Toronto), PhD, and postdoctoral years, she collaborated with the 
Cornell Lab to adapt its K-12 environmental education curriculum for Latin 
American audiences, and expand the program's reach through educator workshops 
and research. Her involvement with the development of BirdSleuth International 
led her to Coto Brus, Costa Rica, where she became enamored with the birds, 
people and a special reforested property called Finca Cántaros. She bought 
Finca Cántaros and moved there permanently in 2019 and converted it into Finca 
Cántaros Environmental Association in 2020 (https://fincacantaros.org/).Cayuga 
Bird Club meetings start at 7:30 pm on the second Monday of each month, 
September through June, and are open to the public. Each virtual meeting will 
begin with the speaker's presentation, followed by club business. Colleen

[cayugabirds-l] Taughannock Peregrine

[bob mcguire]

Right after lunch I walked the Gorge Trail at Taughannock in hopes of locating 
the peregrine nest site - which I did thanks to the copious whitewash on the 
cliff face. As I headed back down the trail I noticed a pair of raptors high 
overhead - a Peregrine Falcon harassing an adult Red-tailed Hawk. The Peregrine 
called continuously, and I stood there with my mouth wide open (!), completely 
forgetting that I could have activated “Voice Memo” and gotten a decent 
recording.
