[cayugabirds-l] Red Tail Hawk appears to be wounded or poisoned
There is a RT Hawk at Ithaca College that appears to be injured. The bird swooped past me on Textor Circle and then perched low on the Center for Natural Sciences Building. The bird had no visible injury but appeared to have some difficulty flying. Thanks!

[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins
I've got two male Pine Siskins foraging under my feeders here in Brooktondale on Valley Rd. Anyone else seen them today?

[cayugabirds-l] OT: looking for birdcarver(s)
Hope this is considered an acceptable use of this list -- my wife's grandfather was an accomplished birdcarver, and her mother has many pewter feet and glass eyes that he never used. She'd like to pass them along to a local birdcarver who can use them. If interested, please email mimlosny...@gmail.com. She can send a list of the particulars if needed. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] stranded common loon to be rescued Sun.
Yes, on second thought I probably should not have posted the time. 'Twas not meant as an invitation -- hopefully if anyone gets in the way Victoria will let them know! I'll ask my sister to update me and will let the list know how it turned out. -Kristie - Original Message - From: John and Fritzie Blizzard To: Linda Orkin Cc: Glen ; cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 9:14 PM Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] stranded common loon to be rescued Sun. I don't doubt her capabilities one bit. Such people are well trained & compassionate. I meant the activity of people who might "flock" to see the capture would traumatize the bird. I am relieved to know the name of a re-habber in the area. We apparently no longer have one here in our area. She was harrassed by certain people who apparently had the mentality ( good intentions) of many of PETA members. Things done to her were destructive, mean, cruel & thoughtless. Our daughter was a re-habber in Florida for a number of yrs.. It's often a dangerous & thankless job. At one time she had more & larger snakes in her home than did the local zoo. Fritzie For people who don't know. Victoria Campbell is a thoroughly knowledgeable and infinitely compassionate Wildlife Rehabber that we are very lucky to have in our area. She runs Wild Things Sanctuary off Snyder Hill Road. You can bet the loon is in the most gentle, capable and ethical of hands with her involvement Linda Orkin Sent from my iPhone On Apr 16, 2011, at 8:23 PM, John and Fritzie Blizzard wrote: Hope a lot of people don't converge on the site & traumatize the bird more than it probably will be, if it isn't already.

[cayugabirds-l] stranded common loon to be rescued Sun.
My sister just called to say that Victoria Campbell called and said the loon stranded on the east side of Flat Iron Rd. will be rescued at 10 am tomorrow (Sunday). Thanks to everyone for their efforts on this beautiful bird's behalf; here's hoping the efforts are successful to get it back on its way. -Kristie (Glen's wife) -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Stranded Common Loon
My sister-in-law lives on Flat Iron Road across from the Goetchius Preserve. She noticed that a Common Loon must have gotten sucked through a culvert from the large pond on the other side of the road and is now stuck in a small stream with only around 100 ft running upsteam in which to take off. I know Loons need a large body of water for take off. Is there anyone who would know what to do in this situation?
