Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Shindagin Hollow field trip- Cayuga Bird Club |
Hi all,
I will be leading a Cayuga Bird Club trip tomorrow, Saturday 5/10, to Shindagin Hollow State Forest. All are welcome - whether you are a member or not. We will be hearing a lot more than we will be seeing, but that is the nature of spring birding.
Meet in front of the Collegetown Bagels parking lot in East Hill plaza (329 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca), at the corner of Ellis Hollow Road and Pine Tree Road in Ithaca. We will head to Shindagin Hollow State Forest for warblers and other birds during this peak period of migration and breeding. We will walk 1-2 miles while birding along Shindagin Hollow Road, ending around 11 or 11:30 am. Wear good walking shoes (may be muddy), bring a hat, bug spray, water, and a snack. Please contact Laura if you have any questions (<lms9...>).
Laura

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Herman Rd Shorebirds |
As the waters have receded along Herman Rd in Freeville, the rice paddies currently have some excellent shorebird habitat. There was a good size group of lesser and greater yellowlegs there this morning (25+) along with a couple of least sandpipers. Other peeps were flying around the rice paddies further from the road, but I couldn't stay to look at everything. There might be some additional species intermixed if anyone is out that way to look.
Over the last few weeks, this spot reliably has wood duck, Bald eagles, a pair of green winged teal, hooded mergansers, common yellowthroat, yellow warbler, tree swallows, Eastern kingbird, and a variety of sparrows. It is a good spot to pull off the road and see what you can find!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Native Plants for Birds |
Hi All,
As you know, the Conservation Action Committee of the Cayuga Bird Club has
been working for several years to improve bird habitat on land
owned/managed by the City of Ithaca and the Cornell Botanic Gardens down at
Lighthouse Point (just north of Newman Golf Course).
This year, our committee is facilitating two new ways for any of you to be
involved in this effort without having to pull invasive privet or erect
rabbit and deer fencing!
*Opportunity #1 Donate native plants*
Those of you who own your own home may have volunteer sprouts of
native plants coming up in your yards that you may want to donate to our
cause. We are looking for seedlings of native trees or shrubs that would
do well in areas with partial or full shade, or herbaceous (non-woody)
plants that would thrive in the same kind of area.
Examples (not a full list) of tree seedlings of interest -- Black
Cherry, Yellow Birch, River Birch, Bitternut Hickory, Shagbark Hickory,
Hackberry, Sycamore, Red Cedar, White Cedar, and Juniper.
Examples (not a full list) of shrub seedlings of interest --
Serviceberry, Nannyberry, Arrow wood Viburnum, American Winterberry,
Hophornbeam, Witch Hobble, Elderberry, Buttonbush, and Bladdernut.
Examples (not a full list) of herbaceous plants of interest -- Joepye
Weed, Marsh Marigold, Boneset, Lobelia syphilitica or cardinalis,
Bottlebrush, and perennial grasses such as Elymus hystrix, virginicus,
riparius, and canadensis.
*Opportunity #2 Foster native plants over the summer until we are ready to
plant them in early fall*.
Our committee will purchase biodegradable pots and will plant donated
plants in these pots and give a flat (up to a dozen pots, for example) or
more than one flat to volunteers who have a sunny spot outside (even an
apartment balcony) where they can place and care for the flat of plants
over the summer until early September.
Please contact Jody Enck (email is <jodyenck...>) if you want to
participate in either or both of these opportunities.
Our next opportunity to get your hands dirty pulling privet and putting up
fence will be Saturday May 17th from 9 to noon.
Thanks
Jody

I had a lovely surprise visitor yesterday morning and evening here in

conifers between our driveway and the neighbors' property. I even got
binoculars on him. My favorite bird song!!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] May 8 Thursday Birding Meetup Plans! |
Oof! Such soggy weather as we get closer to our Thursday Birding Meetup at
Hawthorn Orchard on May 8 at 7:00 am. Due to the very wet and muddy
conditions, we will stick to birding on the edges of the area. It will
likely still be quite wet so waterproof boots are recommended but we will
avoid the truly muddy and uneven areas.
Getting there: turn off Pine Tree Road into the Oxley Equestrian Center
dirt parking lot.
The weather looks promising for Thursday morning so fingers crossed for
coming out to bird with us. This is a drop in casual birding opportunity
designed to get into some birding before work, and to socialize over
breakfast afterward for those with more flexible schedules.
See you on Thursday morning,

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Transformation Interpretive Walk Continues this Saturday at the Montezuma Refuge |
"Transformation"
As Earth orbits the Sun, its Northern Hemisphere leans in more deeply
toward its parent star, triggering a marvelous alchemy at the planet's
surface. Energy that has its source deep in the star's core now finds
expression as leaf and flower, bird and beast, invertebrate and fungi,
turtle and toad, fish and frog.
Join New York State Master Naturalist Volunteer, Pete Saracino, this
Saturday, May 10th, as we explore myriad examples of this wonderful alchemy
unfolding. Walks are free and begin at the Montezuma National Wildlife
Refuge Visitor Center at 10am. Length of walk depends on what we encounter
and where we linger, but you can leave as it fits your schedule.
Binoculars, appropriate dress and sunscreen are recommended. All ages
welcomed. No pets please. Hope to see you there!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Shorebird Habitat at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in 2025 |
Hi Everybody,
The following provides our plans for shorebird habitat in public viewing areas at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge this year. Please keep in mind that these plans are weather, staffing, and funding dependent so subject to change.
Regarding weather, large rainfall events can have short-term impacts on refuge habitats. Sometimes heavy rains flood all our mudflats too much for shorebirds. In that scenario, its likely the rain also flooded previously dry farm fields, potentially creating shorebird habitat in those locations. Try checking off-refuge in that situation and revisiting the refuge after the water levels have gone back down.
Regarding staffing and funding, we have less staff this year because of government efficiency. We are also spending more time assisting other refuges who have fewer employees than we do. Providing waterbird habitat is our highest biological priority at Montezuma so we spend a lot of time on it and providing shorebird habitat is particularly labor intensive.
Northbound Shorebird Migration
* Hope to have habitat available in the Main Pool through May
* May be some habitat in the Visitor Center Wetland, but it is quickly becoming too vegetated for most species.
Southbound Shorebird Migration
* Will monitor several units for nesting marsh birds to inform drawdown decisions
* Considerations will be taken for nesting and fledging black terns and other nesting species
* Will try to stagger units or parts of units with mudflats from late June to November to address fast-changing habitat conditions
Possible Units Early Part of Migration (i.e., late June/July)
* Mays Point Pool
* Puddler Marsh
* Visitor Center Wetland*
* Benning Marsh
* Laurues Lagoon
* Eaton Marsh
* Seneca Flats
*To provide shorebird habitat in the Visitor Center Wetland, we need to mow and disc, then pump in water. Locations in the unit where we disc are dependent on the distribution of the invasive plants flowering rush and Phragmites (which are spread by discing), the availability of staff time and equipment, and the weather we cant get equipment into the unit if there has been too much precipitation.
Knox-Marsellus Marsh
* Expect to begin drawing down for shorebirds in August
* Cannot draw down earlier due to water needs for invasive water chestnut control
* We could use your help in hand-pulling this invasive plant. Contact me if you'd like to help.
Guided Programs
* No guided shorebird walks this year due to operational constraints
* Will reconsider on a year-by-year basis moving forward
* Contact Andrea at <Andrea_VanBeusichem...><mailto:<Andrea_VanBeusichem...> with questions about public use programs
Bird Sightings Reporting
* Record bird sightings separately for each impoundment along the Wildlife Drive and separately for Knox-Marsellus vs Puddler Marshes
* If you dont want to enter it into ebird that way, please email me your separate lists for the separate units.
* We use these data to supplement weekly counts conducted by volunteers to inform management decisions.
Thank you for your support of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex!

Hi Bird Enthusiast!
A male eastern bluebird has taken up the cardinal's bad habits of fighting
with its reflection on our windows, and now he's also having a battle with
the stainless steel flu pipe from our wood burning stove. I have addressed
the window situation (for now) but 🤷 what to do about the stove pipe? It
is situated at the peak of the roof. Maybe cover it with plastic sheeting
and duct tape during the off season? I hate to see/hear them wasting their
precious time and energy fighting with themselves when they have far more
important things to do?! Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks, Chris,
I went birding at the Hawthorn Orchard yesterday, mid-afternoon, and it was still very active: https://ebird.org/checklist/S232669946.
Thanks for the trail clearing you did last year!
Waterproof boots are a must, and I recommend rain pants. Mine got a lot of mud on them from an hour on the wet trails.

Hi Everyone,
Conditions are shaping up for this spring to potentially be one of the better spring migrations at the Hawthorn Orchard in East Ithaca in recent years. This past Friday morning and Saturday morning may be a tell of great things to come this week as spring migration advances ahead of schedule.
A few notes:
— Tortricid moth larvae are already chowing down on the hawthorn leaves and rolling themselves up into their namesake leaf-rolled daytime harbors. Flying insects abound, including already present mosquitoes. These food resources are why birds descend into this location for the day.
— The area is lush and wet, making some effort quite muddy and drenching, so wear appropriate mud boots and even rain pants to avoid any unfortunate soakings.
— There are NO deer ticks at this location—one hypothesis being that it’s too wet for their hosts (white-footed deer mice) or the ticks themselves, and there are few oaks in the main Hawthorn Orchard.
— This is the first year in well over a decade that this area has not experienced a pre-migration hard freeze, and that has afforded the plants and insects here to flourish this year—and in turn provide great cover and food for neotropical migrants passing through our area.
— The Hawthorn Orchard hawthorns are already in near full bloom, and the recent rains have been hugely beneficial.
Please submit any sightings to eBird and please share sightings here or, if you are on Discord, to the Cayuga-Lake-Basin-Chat channel. I will be unable to make regular visits this week, unfortunately, but look forward to reading about what people are seeing.
Here are two checklists to skim, one from Friday morning (5/2)<https://ebird.org/checklist/S231956365> and from Saturday morning (5/3)<https://ebird.org/checklist/S232469646>.
Enjoy and good birding!!

Thanks, Chris,
I went birding at the Hawthorn Orchard yesterday, mid-afternoon, and it was
still very active: https://ebird.org/checklist/S232669946.
Thanks for the trail clearing you did last year!
Waterproof boots are a must, and I recommend rain pants. Mine got a lot of
mud on them from an hour on the wet trails.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: 5/2 and 5/3 |
Hi Everyone,
Conditions are shaping up for this spring to potentially be one of the better spring migrations at the Hawthorn Orchard in East Ithaca in recent years. This past Friday morning and Saturday morning may be a tell of great things to come this week as spring migration advances ahead of schedule.
A few notes:
— Tortricid moth larvae are already chowing down on the hawthorn leaves and rolling themselves up into their namesake leaf-rolled daytime harbors. Flying insects abound, including already present mosquitoes. These food resources are why birds descend into this location for the day.
— The area is lush and wet, making some effort quite muddy and drenching, so wear appropriate mud boots and even rain pants to avoid any unfortunate soakings.
— There are NO deer ticks at this location—one hypothesis being that it’s too wet for their hosts (white-footed deer mice) or the ticks themselves, and there are few oaks in the main Hawthorn Orchard.
— This is the first year in well over a decade that this area has not experienced a pre-migration hard freeze, and that has afforded the plants and insects here to flourish this year—and in turn provide great cover and food for neotropical migrants passing through our area.
— The Hawthorn Orchard hawthorns are already in near full bloom, and the recent rains have been hugely beneficial.
Please submit any sightings to eBird and please share sightings here or, if you are on Discord, to the Cayuga-Lake-Basin-Chat channel. I will be unable to make regular visits this week, unfortunately, but look forward to reading about what people are seeing.
Here are two checklists to skim, one from Friday morning (5/2)<https://ebird.org/checklist/S231956365> and from Saturday morning (5/3)<https://ebird.org/checklist/S232469646>.
Enjoy and good birding!!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] [labird] Proposed change to definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act |
Since the following has the potential to considerably change birds and
birdwatching, I wanted to bring it to the attention of list serve
members. I am not advocating any action or position, simply offering it
for your consideration.
The federal government is proposing to significantly limit the
Endangered Species Act's power to preserve crucial habitats by changing
the definition of "harm." The proposed rule change would continue to ban
actions that directly hurt or kill wildlife, but explicitly removes
habitat modification from being considered "harm" for purposes of the
Act. If the change is adopted, it will make it easier to log, mine, and
build on lands that presently are protected as essential for endangered
species to thrive.
The official summary of the actual changes, along with the explanation
for why the government feels they are appropriate and links to the
various changes proposed, can be found at
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/17/2025-06746/rescinding-the-definition-of-harm-under-the-endangered-species-act
.
Comments in support of or opposition to the proposed changes can be made
online through May 19 at the same URL
<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/17/2025-06746/rescinding-the-definition-of-harm-under-the-endangered-species-act>.
You do not need to be a scholar or scientist or lawyer to comment, your
opinion matters just as a citizen. All comments are registered and must
be considered. (Of course, comments by scholars, scientists, and
lawyers are welcome, too.)

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club May meeting |
The Cayuga Bird Club May meeting will be Monday, May 12, 2025, at 7:30pm (book signing 6:45pm) at the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Our speaker, Tina Morris, will present her book "Return to the Sky: The Surprising Story of How One Woman and Seven Eaglets Helped Restore the Bald Eagle".
In talking to us about "Return to the Sky", Tina Morris will share her remarkable story that is as much about the human spirit as it is about birds of prey. She will also talk about the birds themselves!
In the fall of 1975, on the eve of the US bicentennial, The Peregrine Fund at Cornell, led by Tom Cade, was selected to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York State in the hope that the species could eventually repopulate eastern North America. Tina, supported by Peregrine biologists, was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT.
The challenges were prodigious--there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle's size, for one--but Tina soon found that her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was deeply connected with the survival of the species she was chosen to protect. Ultimately, Tina and the team spent two years playing "mother" to seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, east of Seneca Falls in New York.
At a time when the mass extinction of bird species is a critical global topic, Return to the Sky reminds us how, with a mix of common sense, resilience, and resolve, humans can be effective stewards of the natural world.
About the Speaker: Tina completed her graduate work in ornithology and wildlife biology at Cornell in 1978, writing her thesis on the adaptations of hacking techniques to reintroduce bald eagles. Following her studies at Cornell, she worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nature Conservancy for several years, focusing on endangered species and critical habitat conservation, before embarking on a 23-year career teaching English and biology. Since her retirement in 2020, she has devoted her time to her own writing, especially creative non-fiction with a science or nature focus. Thirty years ago, with four children in tow, Tina and her husband bought a farm in northern Massachusetts, which they manage as a wildlife sanctuary, promoting biodiversity and habitat protection for species in decline.
Book Signing: Tina will be signing copies of her book from 6:45-7:30pm. Books will be available for purchase from Wild Birds Unlimited, or you can purchase the book ahead of time from your favorite bookseller.
Evening Schedule:
6:45pm: book signing, cookies, and socializing
7:20 pm: reading of the basin bird list
7:30pm: Cayuga Bird Club meeting
~7:50pm: presentation by Tina Morris ************There will also be a speaker dinner at 5:30 pm at Sumo Restaurant with Tina and her husband. If interested in attending, please rsvp to <clr82...> by noon on Monday, May 12. Have a great week of birding! Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Bobolinks! And GCFlycatcher. |
Bobolinks have returned to the Mt Pleasant fields! I saw one male singing, and heard other flight calls overhead. Small sample size, I know, but the singing male was in the area on the south side of the road that was left unmowed for part of last summer during a study. In my experience, the first male to arrive go to the fields on the north side of the road.
And at my home on Ringwood Road, the loud calls of a Great Crested Flycatcher.

The following was posted on Facebook:
------------------------------
Taughannock Falls State Park Peregrine Falcon Nest Update
Several days ago, New York State Park staff from the Finger Lakes
observed that the Peregrine Falcon nesting site on the north wall of
the Taughannock Falls gorge was no longer occupied and that there were
no signs of the recently hatched chicks. Staff continued to
investigate, looking for signs of the chicks at the base of the gorge
wall without any success. Based on reports of a Great Horned Owl in
the vicinity of the park on eBird this past weekend, it is possible
that the nest may have been raided. This is a normal, unfortunate but
not uncommon, instance of predation.
Staff are hopeful that the parents will return and establish a second
clutch of eggs in the next few weeks.
Park staff also continue monitor two other nest sites in the Finger
Lakes with one nesting pair demonstrating behaviors that are
consistent with the three eggs being close to hatching. A third nest,
in the gorge at Stony Brook State Park, contains 3 or 4 eggs that, if
all goes well, would be scheduled to hatch in mid-May.

I had just returned from a week in Idaho the night before last and was eager to check on the nest. There had been three tiny chicks and one unhatched egg last week, before I left Ithaca. I suspect that a Great Horned Owl raided the nest, but it’s hard to say for sure. I feel very sad about this. I have a long history with this nest site, reaching back long before they started nesting here again. Here’s a link to an article I wrote for Audubon a few years ago. https://www.audubon.org/news/peregrine-falcons-finally-return-nest-their-most-famous-us-eyrie

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Taughannock Peregrines |
I stopped by the Taughannock Gorge Peregrine eyrie yesterday afternoon. Sadly, the nest ledge was empty. I had just returned from a week in Idaho the night before last and was eager to check on the nest. There had been three tiny chicks and one unhatched egg last week, before I left Ithaca. I suspect that a Great Horned Owl raided the nest, but it’s hard to say for sure. I feel very sad about this. I have a long history with this nest site, reaching back long before they started nesting here again. Here’s a link to an article I wrote for Audubon a few years ago. https://www.audubon.org/news/peregrine-falcons-finally-return-nest-their-most-famous-us-eyrie

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Hawthorn Orchard: East Ithaca — May 1, 2025 |
This morning, I made my first brief visit to the Hawthorn Orchard of the year. Trails that I cleared last year with help from Scott Anthony and some hand pruning by others, seem to be in pretty good shape.
Currently the most open section of trail is accessible at the northeast edge of this Cornell Botanic Gardens Natural Area, just northwest of the Niemand-Robinson Softball Field outfield, behind the Reis Tennis Center. This trail meanders along the northernmost ravine edge trail and parallels opposite the ravine south of Mitchell Street. Optimal trail entrance is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NajEeaX22fP3Qb9x7 and there is another access point from the East Ithaca Recreation Way, approximately here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TajjtreW4zT8qJSm7
Parking access is through the dirt trailer parking lot for the Oxley Equestrian Center. I usually drive down the dirt driveway from the northwest corner of the trailer parking lot and then park in the grass along the side of the road just southwest of the outdoor tennis courts. Here’s a parking spot map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zCSG2TWVfe6CTpax6
I have removed the “Area Closed” signage at all major entrances, with permission from Todd Bittner (Director of Cornell Natural Areas), because the Cornell Deer Management season has ended at this location.
Bird-wise, most of the activity was in the northwest region of hawthorns, which still has a residual pile of cracked corn at the deer baiting area, where dozens of White-throated Sparrows, at least one Eastern Towhee, and other birds were feeding. In this area was a single Baltimore Oriole, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Northern Parula. An early Veery and a Hermit Thrush were found part-way along the easternmost trail near the southeast corner of the main Hawthorn Orchard.
I checked the south floodwater impoundment—which has a cattail and phragmites marsh—for possible Virginia Rail and Sora (seen here in past years), but the entire area had been mowed over in mid-October of last year and is currently not suitable habitat. Hopefully there will be more new reed growth in the coming weeks. It would be nice if Cornell would not mow this marsh in the future. Here is an access point for this marsh (if you view the satellite layer, you can see the extensive mower tracks): https://maps.app.goo.gl/YhXX1RrsfLdcpimu9
Here is my checklist from this morning: https://ebird.org/checklist/S231564741
Here’s a link to this eBird hotspot: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L122418
And the full species list is here: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L122418/bird-list?hs_sortBy=taxon_order&hs_o=asc
Good birding!
Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Refuge Pelicans |
I am being asked why the white pelicans (5 at last count) are showing up at
the Refuge (given their breeding range and migration routes).
I obviously don't know, but some possibilities are it's migration time so:
Blown off course?
Birn with faulty orientation software?
Young birds not ready for pair bonding so are checking out their new, big
world?
Any other ideas?
If I had to guess I would say young "teenagers" checking out their
world.....I've read where they reach sexual maturity at age 3.
Any thoughts and ideas are welcomed.
At any rate beautiful birds.

Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] White Pelicans |
This isn't the first time white pelicans have stopped at MNWR as they migrate north. I don't have time to check my records. They won't stay long. Having seen my first pelicans in FL 75 yrs. ago, I always believed pelicans were strictly a southern bird so I was amazed to see them in Yellowstone in Aug.1983.Pelicans do migrate to Canada for the summer as far north as British Columbia & Saskatchewan. You can check their migratory routes.Interesting fact ... pelicans have 3 stomachs.

We have a carolina wren nesting on the back of our house (a first for my yard), above our stone patio. We usually have plenty of chipmunk traffic but not this year. That feisty wren has been dive bombing them, scolding them, chasing them off, and yesterday actually had a face to face standoff. The wren stood its ground and each time the chippy poked his head out, the wren stood tall and lunged forward at it. In fact it actually waited there for it to reappear. I'm certain this drama will continue.Barbara CliseKing FerrySent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

More details below:
On Friday May 2 (2025) in Ford Hall at 7 pm, Ithaca College presents an evening of music inspired by birds, myth and nature. The shared program features Contemporary Chamber Ensemble (CCE) and Treble Chorus.
Conducted by Christopher Coletti and Ho-Yin Kwok, CCE selections include John Luther Adams' delicate Wood Thrush and Leo Brouwer's powerful Los Negros Brujos Se Divierten.
In the second half of the program, Treble Chorus, conducted by Sean Linfors, is joined by soprano Rachel Schutz, tenor Omar Najmi and string faculty (Faran, Kwok, Armbrust, Hesselink and Jarvis) to present the world premiere of Sally McCune's dramatic Stella Maris, Stella Caeli, Sterna Paradisaea.
A semi-staged work with text by Orkney poet Yvonne Gray, the 30-minute cantata celebrates the Arctic Tern, an adept but now threatened survivor in a rapidly changing world. The production features choreography by Amy O'Brien and projections by Ben Robinson.
A pre-concert talk on Arctic Terns will be offered by world-renowned ornithologist Stephen W. Kress at 6 pm in Hockett Recital Hall.
Not to be missed!
Friday, 5/2/2025

I had a calling Pine Siskin in my backyard, not feeders - yet, this morning. Confirmed by Merlin. Just West of Mecklenberg.
BTW - thanks to everyone who joined me on the CBC field trip Saturday morning. I had a great time.

Delights from my walk around the Cornell Botanic Gardens Arboretum this morning were:
Two Green Herons - one seen perched in tree next to pond, flushed into flight by a Great Blue Heron landing, then two Green Herons seen flying together over and around the pond area.
Singing Baltimore Oriole.
Small flock of Blue Jays flying tightly and noisily together, then landing and doing their bobbing displays, per Birds of the World "Elaborate Social Display".
Later, on Mt Pleasant Road, a flock of around 20 uncharacteristically silent Blue Jays flying north.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] "Transformation" Interpretive Walk at Montezuma Refuge 05/03/2025 |
Transformation As Earth orbits the Sun, its Northern Hemisphere leans in
more deeply toward its parent star, triggering a marvelous alchemy at the
planet's surface. Energy that has its source deep in the star's core now
finds expression as leaf and flower, bird and beast, invertebrate and
fungi, turtle and toad, fish and frog. Join New York State Master
Naturalist Volunteer, Pete Saracino, as we explore myriad examples of this
wonderful alchemy unfolding. Walks are free and begin at the Montezuma
National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center at 10am. Length of walk depends on
what we encounter and where we linger, but you can leave as it fits your
schedule. Binoculars, appropriate dress and sunscreen are recommended. All
ages welcomed. No pets please. Hope to see you there!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese in Ringwood Rd. (Rt 13 side) area? |
Hello friends,
Are snow geese still in the area? (I haven't made it up to Montezuma NWR yet). I ask because my husband, my neighbor, and now I have seen a couple of what we believe are snow geese visiting on the field across our house (just off of Ringwood Rd in Freeville, NY), in our pond (same location) and the farm pond that is just down the road from us. In fact, one is still sitting on the edge of our small pond, having spent some time dabbling, then after hopping onto the bank, grooming itself, and now seemingly resting/asleep in the cool but sunny spring air as I type.
It's a dark adult; I'll venture to call it a Lesser Snow Goose, due to its rather loudly pink (veering towards bright sockeye salmon colored) bill base.
Might anyone else in living in this area have seen these visitors as well? I've lived out here for decades now, and this would be the first.
Eveline (Ferretti)

Dr. Tran Triet/International Crane Foundation
Stand up for the Endangered Species Act
Submit Public Comments Opposing Rule by May 19
Dear Supporters:
Last week, the Trump Administration proposed a rule change that would
profoundly weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the most important law
for protecting and conserving threatened plants and animals in our country. We
believe this change would be catastrophic for Endangered Whooping Cranes,
as well as countless other species, and their habitats.
Signed into law in 1973—the same year as the International Crane Foundation
was established—the ESA is a keystone of conservation success. It is
credited with saving 99 percent of the species it protects, like the
Endangered Whooping Crane, which was part of the first cohort of species
protected by the law.
Despite its overwhelming success and public support, the ESA has been
sharply criticized by those who want to increase mining, drilling, and
other land and water resources development that could negatively impact the
habitat requirements for endangered species.
In a rule proposed last week by the U.S. Departments of the Interior and
Commerce, the administration seeks to redefine a single word in the ESA—
“harm”—to mean direct mortality only and not include loss of habitat. This
would rescind the regulatory definition of harm and completely alter what
it means to harm imperiled plants and animals.
The proposed new definition of “harm” states that species are protected
only from intentional killing or injury, such as through hunting or
trapping, and not from the degradation or loss of habitat that plants and
animals need to survive. By emphasizing that harm must be intentional, the
change also allows for killing or injury to endangered plants and animals
by those who did not purposely seek to cause harm. Further, this change
could result in the loss of our ability to effectively site energy
resources, such as large transmission lines, to accommodate endangered
species' migratory pathways.
In the 1940s, only 21 Whooping Cranes remained in the wild due to
unregulated hunting and massive habitat loss. Today, there are more than
690 wild Whooping Cranes, largely due to these vital legal protections and
reintroduction efforts, such as those we lead today. However, the species
remains endangered and still needs our help and legal protections.
With this proposed order, freshwater diversions, wetland drainage, land
development, powerline collisions, and other disturbances at key nesting,
feeding, and roosting sites are expected to increase with this proposed
order. Additionally, we are concerned about proposals that may create
infinite loopholes and legal escapes for anyone who shoots a crane, by
allowing them to claim they didn’t mean to do it and requiring proof beyond
a reasonable doubt that the shooting was intentional, which can be
challenging to establish.
The International Crane Foundation is dedicated to protecting Whooping
Cranes and the wetlands they depend on. Now, we need your help to secure
their future and the future of many other species.
Here’s How You Can Help

Just before 4pm today, I was driving on South Meadow Street headed north.
Just past Agway on the left there's a Chinese Restaurant called Jade Garden
and I saw an Osprey land inside a tall brown box-like structure on top of a
long pole. It isn't a regular Osprey platform, it is deeper and you cannot
see inside the box-like structure from the street, but the Osprey
definitely landed inside it. Unfortunately I was driving and couldn't take
a photo of the structure, but it was brownish-tan structure on top of a
pole with a blue(?) stripe.
I never noticed an Osprey on this part of S. Meadow Street before so I just
thought I would mention it.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] FOY Towhee, Owego |
The Towhee was yesterday actually, way down south here in Owego. Also had
about 4 or 6 flickers at a time here recently, stabbing away at our lawn.
Not sure that it qualifies as a 'guttering' (apparently the collective noun
for them!), but we've never had so many at once.

Subject: ADMIN :Re: [cayugabirds-l] Trump Seeks Increased Logging of Finger Lakes National Forest - New York Almanack |
Hi John, and Everyone,
As the Executive Order on the Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production (here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-expansion-of-american-timber-production/) may likely impact wide swaths of bird habitat in the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests in the coming 2-4 years, it seems acceptable to share here—especially with likely sunsetting of various environmental regulations following the Executive Order on Zero-based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy (here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/zero-based-regulatory-budgeting-to-unleash-american-energy/).
As far as I could infer, this article is not misinformative and is far from fear-mongering (outside of one interpretation of the term “regime”)—unless these Executive Orders are in fact considered fear-mongering, in and of themselves.
In general, let’s keep discussions specific to bird sightings, with only limited further informational discussions about actual potential negative impacts to bird habitat in the immediate Finger Lakes area.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Hi John,
I hope all is well at Kestrel Haven.
The article seemed pretty straightforward, quoting an executive order and talking about the national forest. A 25% increase in logging seems substantial. Changing all regulations toward that single goal also seems off from the multi-purpose function of national forests. What was the misinformation?
Thanks

Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-rumped Warbler eating suet! |
Marie, for the past three winters, I have been on Ochlockonee Bay, FL (flows into Gulf of Mexico) mid-January through March. The Yellow-rumped Warblers are abundant. They are often at the suet feeder, but they also visit the hummingbird feeder! At first, I thought they were drinking the rain water that collects in the cavities intended for jelly, but no. They are at the small holes where they can access the syrup. I have never had a hummingbird at that feeder, but the Yellow-rumps do compete with the Red-bellied Woodpeckers who also enjoy the syrup. I keep the syrup level high so the Yellow-rumps can reach it. (I am assuming their tongues are shorter.)

Description
"Transformation" As Earth orbits the Sun, its Northern Hemisphere leans in
more deeply toward its parent star, triggering a marvelous alchemy at the
planet's surface. Energy that has its source deep in the star's core now
finds expression as leaf and flower, bird and beast, invertebrate and
fungi, turtle and toad, fish and frog. Join New York State Master
Naturalist Volunteer, Pete Saracino, as we explore myriad examples of this
wonderful alchemy unfolding. Walks are free and begin at the Montezuma
National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center at 10am. Length of walk depends on
what we encounter and where we linger, but you can leave as it fits your
schedule. Binoculars, appropriate dress and sunscreen are recommended. All
ages welcomed. No pets please. Hope to see you there!

I've seen a Yellow-rumped Warbler eating suet in the middle of winter once, so what you saw doesn't surprise me. Mind you, it was -40 when I saw my suet-eating warbler, so it would have been overjoyed to find any High-Energy source of food.

A Yellow-rumped Warbler in my yard just now, eating a few scraps of suet from the suet feeder before moving on. First I've ever seen that happen. Anyone else?

Subject: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Size of Acreage needed to host ground nesting birds? |
Just to add to what others have said, it’s important to keep in mind that there are plenty of common ground-nesting birds that might be in a meadow that are not as elusive as Bobolinks and Eastern Meadowlarks, etc. Consider the Killdeer, Wild Turkey, and Song Sparrow as examples of a few such species that would be affected by the mowing of smaller parcels. So I wouldn’t say you don’t need to be concerned about disturbing ground-nesting birds at all on smaller parcels, even in your backyard.
Take care,

Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Size of Acreage needed to host ground nesting birds?
Tom Gavin (Professor Emeritus, Cornell University) & Noah Perlot (Professor, Univ of New England) are recognized experts on grassland nesting birds. Their work was the basis for worksheets developed for landowners by the Ag Allies<https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b4e0a6912b13ffa1db85e3f/t/6229fd492451f0640b2da354/1646918986348/AAFactSheet-Landowners.pdf> program in Maine. Their advice<https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b4e0a6912b13ffa1db85e3f/t/6229fd492451f0640b2da354/1646918986348/AAFactSheet-Landowners.pdf> to landowners was that an 8 acre parcel is large enough to support bobolinks, other grassland nesting birds might require 15 acres or more.
Also, a few years ago Donna Scott kindly referred me to a pamphlet distributed by NYS Cornell Coop Extension on managing hayfields for grassland nesting birds<https://nyfoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/HayfieldsGrassland_Birds_3MB.pdf>. This pamphlet uses 10-12 acres as the threshold.

Hello Bird Brains! 😁
I recently finished a class about meadow restoration. The instructor made a statement about ground nesting birds that I had not heard before. It goes like this: "If you don't have acreage of 18 or more acres, you don't need to be concerned about disturbing ground nesting birds while conducting restoration activities (ie. mowing)." I was unable to ask for a study reference before the class ended. Is there anyone out there who can verify the instructor's statement? OR Do you know where I might find information that will verify the amount of undisturbed meadow acreage that ground nesting birds require to establish a nesting site?

Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Size of Acreage needed to host ground nesting birds? |
Hi Madonna,
Thanks for asking this question because I think a lot of folks who want to
help conserve steeply declining grassland birds would be interested in an
answer.
I do not know what the presenter was referring to specifically, but I would
guess that it might have to do with how big or how small of a field
grassland nesting birds need to nest.
Eighteen acres, converted to a square comes out to be about 885 feet by 885
feet (almost a football field long by a football field wide). Having
conducted grassland breeding bird surveys for work since 2018, I can say
with some authority that a field of that size would definitely be used by
grassland nesting birds like Bobolinks, Eastern Meadowlarks, and even
Upland Sandpipers.
If you do a search of available literature online, one rule of thumb that
pops up again and again is that grassland nesting birds most frequently
nest in fields larger than about 10ac in size. Perhaps even more important
than total size is field shape. Bobolinks and Meadowlarks typically like
to nest more than 50 yards from a hedgerow or woods. So a 10ac fieldthat
is real long and narrow may not have any nesting grassland birds using it,
while a square field of 10ac might have several pairs nesting there.
I would encourage you to ask the instructor (if you can) for a specific
answer about the 18ac field. I would be curious to know the response.d
Thanks for starting the discussion.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Size of Acreage needed to host ground nesting birds? |
Hello Bird Brains! 😁
I recently finished a class about meadow restoration. The instructor made a
statement about ground nesting birds that I had not heard before. It goes
like this: "If you don't have acreage of 18 or more acres, you don't need
to be concerned about disturbing ground nesting birds while conducting
restoration activities (ie. mowing)." I was unable to ask for a study
reference before the class ended. Is there anyone out there who can verify
the instructor's statement? OR Do you know where I might find information
that will verify the amount of undisturbed meadow acreage that ground
nesting birds require to establish a nesting site?
