[cayugabirds-l] Purple Martin house at Swan Pond, Stewart Park?
Anyone know the history of the purple martin house at Swan Pond? Who built it? Was it ever successful? would it be a good idea for the Cayuga Bird Club to build a new one? I just read that purple martins eat 2000 mosquitoes per day, http://www.purplemartin.org/update/MosCont.html Maybe there is not enough mosquito habitat at Swan Pond??? definitely more mosquitoes in the Fuertes Bird Sanctuary, but not the right habitat. Was the golf course once a marshland that the purple martins would have thrived then? If not feasible at Swan Pond, where else in Ithaca can one see them (easily?) in spring? I love seeing the ones at Montezuma. * * * * * * * * * *Don't ask what the world needs.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Martin house at Swan Pond, Stewart Park?
Hi Sandy, I think you mean the Renwick Wildwood. The Fuertes Bird Sanctuary is _just_ the so-called swan pond. Confusion about the names has found it's way onto some maps, but those are incorrect. For a full explanation, see historian Jane Grave's articles on the Cayuga Bird Club website: http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/history/louis-agassiz-fuertes-memorial-bird-sanctuary-a-chronology-part-1 -Geo On Aug 10, 2015, at 8:47 AM, Sandy Wold sandra.w...@gmail.com wrote: Maybe there is not enough mosquito habitat at Swan Pond??? definitely more mosquitoes in the Fuertes Bird Sanctuary, but not the right habitat. -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Purple Martin at MNWR Thursday
As another sign of spring Susan, Ann and I had a, first of the year, PURPLE MARTIN sitting on one of the Martin house poles at the Montezuma Visitor's Center yesterday. The Martin houses haven't been raised to the top of the poles yet, but it looks like time. There were half a dozen NORTHERN SHOVELERs in the visitor's center pond along with A.WIGEON, ABDU, GADWALL, MALLARD and a GREEN-WINGED TEAL. We didn't see any Blue-winged Teal. The main pool is still partially frozen and it was interesting to see Great Blue Herons walking on the ice. Many gulls covered the ice including an ICELAND GULL that Tim Lenz alerted us to. Four OSPREYS cavorted over the maintenance buildings. We could only drive as far as Benning Marsh as the road is blocked by equipment. The mucklands held many tens of thousands of Snow Geese, Mallards, Pintails and American Black Ducks. We were able with great difficulty pick up two ROSS'S GEESE, one sitting and one flying. It would have been easier, but most of the Snows were feeding or resting with their heads tucked in.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] PUrple Martin over Ithaca
This last Sunday Ann and I saw a Purple Martin at Myers spit also maybe the same two Dunlin. Gary On May 24, 2011, at 10:08 PM, Meena Haribal wrote: Day before yesterday, there were two Dunlins feeding at close range from people at Myers spit. I also saw a Purple Martin over water along with Barn and Tree swallows. Later in the evening, a female Merganser with brood of 16 spotted balls came in from the creek, all the chicks were riding on her. I think she thought it was easier to get them all together on the lake rather than making them come on their own. When she dove to look for fish all but two were under the water. The remaining two lazily swam around till she surfaced again. She was rather fast. That made the day for me. On Saturday or may be it was Friday, I got chance to video and photograph a Wood Thrush on Wilson Trail. At one point he was looking at me and swinging. When he did churrr sound, his mouth was so wide open, I almost thought he can gulp me up without any problems. He is dashed cute. Unfortunately my camera mic clipped the sound as he was very close and loud. He was 10 to 15 feet most of the time. I barely managed to keep him full in the frame. I will post the video and photographs when my computer is cured of viruses.
