Re: [cayugabirds-l] Where are all my feeder birds

[Catherine Cooke]

I notice the same thing at my apartment at North Woods.
I filled my seed feeder up a few weeks ago and have had very few visitors.
Usually, it is empty in a few days.
But the Downy Woodpeckers are still coming to my suet feeders, but not as
frequently.
I have not seen a squirrel in a long time.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Renwick versus Fuertes

[Catherine Cooke]

Perhaps this is the answer to your question.

  Hi all,

 Now I am curious to know why was it named Renwick Woods? Who was Renwick?
 Must have done something good  to name after him and when was it named? If
 it was named before Fuertes' death Fuertes must have been in agreement with
 that naming,

 Curious about the Ithaca history.

   Yes, Fuertes made great contributions. There's a bronze plaque where a
 sanctuary was created in his honor shortly after his untimely death - the
 area now often called the swan pond. Cayuga Bird Club Historian Jane Graves
 has the documentation of this - contemporary newspaper accounts of the
 plans and fund-raising for that purpose. Websites are notorious for being
 inaccurate, and the City of Ithaca website referring to Renwick Wildwood
 (the name on the concrete arch) as Fuertes Sanctuary is unsubstantiated by
 any historical record that our historian has found so far. Please use the
 correct name, not perpetuate the misnomer. If someone sends you a reference
 to an official renaming of Renwick as Fuertes, please let us know.

   Hi everyone,

  I know this issue has been discussed many times before and I know that
 opinions are divided. For every email I get that says we should call the
 woods Renwick, I get three that say we should call it Fuertes. The official
 website of Ithaca calls the 55 acres south of Stewart Park the Fuertes
 Bird Sanctuary. It describes this both in text and on the map. Given the
 huge contributions that Fuertes made, we (eBird) are happy to follow the
 official City of Ithaca website and go with calling the 55 acres the
 Fuertes Sanctuary.

 Here is something I would bet has been seen by nobody on this list-serve.
 A neighbor of mine watched as a brood of baby WOOD DUCKS tumbled from a big
 maple tree on my street.  The mother headed for a tiny pond nearby and my

 is 8 years old.  I am envious.  How about you?

[cayugabirds-l] Fwd: Birds on Saturday?

[Catherine Cooke]

I got this e-mail from a friend.  Perhaps someone on the list knows what was
going on.

Thanks!

Hi Cathy,



If you’re on the bird-sighting email list, can you find out what was going
on in Dryden on Saturday.



My friend Cindy sent me this yesterday:



“I took 38 to Dryden and just before the high school there were several cars
off the road and a bunch of people with spotting scopes looking out toward
route 13 where the field is mostly under water.  I have not idea what they
saw, but it drew a crowd.”



So I figured that whatever people saw would have been posted on the bird
sighting email list. I’m not a member of that and thought you might be.



I saw a Phoebe this morning trying to catch bugs in the heavy rain. It
probably had just arrived recently and must have been hungry.



Thanks,

Rosanne

[cayugabirds-l] Thanks

[Catherine Cooke]

Hi, All,
   I want to thank all who replied to the e-mail that I had forwarded.
Though there were no rare birds, it sounds like the SFO group saw some good
birds!

I did want to say that, that I have been hearing a Woodcock in the field
opposite my North Wood apartment building.  This is the first time I had
heard one, since I moved here 2 years ago.

   Cathy
