[nysbirds-l] Roosting Blackbirds

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi all,

I thought I would love to share these observations I had recently in Montezuma 
Wildlife Refuge. You should be able to watch this from the visitor center watch 
tower or from Route 89 parking area near South spring pool. I would love to 
hear from you if you have been seeing lots of blackbirds in your area 
especially if you are in Wayne, Ontario, Seneca and Cayuga county.


Here is my blog with links to photos and videos

If you are not interested in reading a long write up you can view pictures here.

Cheers

[nysbirds-l] Addendum to my post of 3/11/18

[robert adamo]

While describing the huge number of Long-tailed Ducks seen in Shinnicock
Bay, I used both its current name, as well as the species' former
name...adding that I "missed" the latter.

This prompted Molly Adams to respond to me privately, stating "The name was
changed for a reason. What's fun to say and nostalgic for you is offensive,
racist and sexist to others". After being shocked, confused and indignant,
I then realized I had much to learn and understand about Molly's comments !
When the name was changed I had not heard nor read anything that suggested
it was due to being politically correct.

My response to her consisted of trying to explain the meaning I gave
(without any malice whatsoever) to the words I used, and asked for any
information she could send to help educate me !

The four links she sent were conclusive - she was right - I stood corrected
! The old name of the Long-tailed Duck was disparaging to a proud portion
of our American Heritage ! I know I will refrain from using it while
writing in the future, but can only hope I don't blurt it out during the
heat of battle (birding) ie, "Marsh  Hawk", "Myrtle Warbler" or "Upland
Plover" !

Cheers,
Bob
