[cayugabirds-l] OT: FREE! Ameristep Doghouse photo blind, used once

Hi all you bird photographers out there! I have an Ameristep Doghouse blind that I am offering to give away. I purchased it last year but it has only been erected once. It is too big for my needs. You can see what it looks like here:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes

And one can get a large, oval solid rash that is not like a bull's eye one with separate rings, and still be free of Lyme Disease! Last year I had a tick embedded in my neck/collarbone area and it made such a rash (solid red, no rings); later blood testing and lack of symptoms showed no Lyme

[cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard - 15 May 2012 - Very Quiet

This morning, from about 7:30 to 8:00am, there was very little activity, except from local birds. Possible migrant arrival Common Yellowthroats. I'm fairly certain that the Wood Thrush has departed from the site. Female and male American Redstarts were in the North ravine. At least five Common

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes

My friend who has battled Lyme for years said that his tests came back negative. There are different strains of Lyme in different parts of the country and each Lab only tests for their local strains. Nobody runs a test for all the flavors of Lyme. So you have to keep getting tested and send

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes

My doctor looked at my rash, prescribed the antibiotic, and said there was no point in doing a Lyme test, as it would come back negative, being un-useful for the just-bitten. Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ticks rashes

Here is what the New York State Health Department says about deer tick bites: Although not routinely recommended, taking antibiotics within three days after a tick bite may be beneficial for some persons. This would apply to deer tick bites that occurred in areas where Lyme disease is common

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

Enough about ticks and rashes! Does anyone know the locality of any easily accessible Mourning Warbler territories in the Hammond Hill/Yellow Barn SF areas? There used to be an easy one at the power line cut at the top of Tehan Rd. and another along the south stretch of Yellow Barn Rd. I know

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

One was singing at the top of the Yellow Trail on Hammond Hill on Saturday morning (trail to the left of the parking area, follow it all the way to a few meters before it ends at a T intersection). The bird was in the clearing area right there, the same place one was last year. I also had one

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

And likewise! I've been looking to photograph one for years now and haven't had much luck, so I would love any tips on where to find one. I'm also looking for Hooded Warblers if anyone has a lead. Thanks! Raghu On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 6:26 PM, Kenneth Victor Rosenberg k...@cornell.eduwrote:

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Warbler territories?

Hi Ken and everyone, If the sporting/listing aspect of birding is the goal, rather than witnessing actual breeding behavior, then I might suggest trying the Wilson Trail North in Sapsucker Woods between 7 and 8 AM on May 17. Three of the past four years, I've found one right there at that very

Thanks Mark - but since it will only be May 16, I think we should try the high country. Sent from my iPhone On May 15, 2012, at 10:19 PM, Mark Chao markc...@imt.org wrote: Hi Ken and everyone, If the sporting/listing aspect of birding is the goal, rather than witnessing actual breeding

[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler song question

This afternoon (15 May) I went to Pier Road beside Newman Golf Course and also across Fall Creek in Renwick Wildwood. Among other things, I hoped to refind the YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER. I believe I eventually heard it, but I was not able to see it, in or near a large Sycamore in Renwick between the
