Re: [cayugabirds-l] [cayugabirds-l bird on water

[JENNIFER MARSHALL]

Thanks everyone….so sorry about posting the image- We saw it yesterday floating 
on Cayuga Lake - almost to the yacht club but in the middle of the lake.  It 
would float and bob along and then fly a short distance  with a distinct high 
pitch call.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma

[Jennifer Marshall]

I don't know if this is against list serve protocol - but I rent my home which 
is on the Northern end of Cayuga Lake near Montezuma.  It is a fabulous spot 
for birding and fall migration.  If interested check out:

Weekend rentals in fall or full weeks.

 I agree with Diana.  My experiences have been much the same as hers.  When 
 people get out of their cars the birds either fly away or move out farther 
 which makes it more difficult for most photographers and those without 
 scopes. The Refuge needs to enforce and clarify their rules.  Why did the 
 Refuge, long ago, change it to no one out of their cars?  If they allow 
 walking there again, it will take a long time for the birds to become used to 
 people out of their cars.  I've always believed that using the car as a blind 
 allows one to see more.  But I guess if I could get out of the car I could 
 sit down by the water in a bag blind to photograph and bird.  Again, the 
 refuge would need to post rules on how far off the road one could go.  Just 
 more complications.

 Hi All,
 I thought I might way in on this discussion about whether birds are 
 disturbed by people out of their cars. As a photographer, I can say it most 
 certainly does. Anytime that people are out of their vehicles, the birds are 
 gone or moved a considerable distance away when I have been in the wake of 
 this behavior.  I find it is both photographer and birders with scopes that 
 are guilty of this. Personally, things viewed with a scope are not of 
 interest to me, so yes, it does make a difference if people out of cars push 
 the birds further away.  I find that no one seems to be enforcing the rule 
 as it stands because people have told me that the refuge vehicles drove by 
 them and did not say anything. It has been very frustrating to photograph 
 anything especially this year with this turn of events, so I too would like 
 clarification of what is allowed.  If people did stay in their car, it would 
 allow for others to see more in my opinion. I know in other areas, birds are 
 less shy, but it does not seem to be the case here. I realize that most 
 people are unaware that they change things by not staying in their car, but 
 I think I get my best opportunities and views if I practice patience and 
 keeping a low profile using my vehicle as a blind.
