Hello Cayuga Birders, Now that we are probably just passed the peak of fall migration (at least in terms of breeding birds leaving our area, even if the ducks and winter field birds haven't really showed up yet), I thought it would be a good idea to share a cool resource with you. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service program called Southern Wings analyzes migratory connections between NY and places where 57 species of migratory birds spend the non-breeding season. You can see their maps here: https://southern-wings.fishwildlife.org/online-guide/new-york
Last night at our October club meeting, we heard about a recent trip facilitated by the club to visit birds, birders, and conservationists in Cuba this past spring. These international birding trips inform us better about the birds we share, and help deepen our understanding of the conservation challenges and successes birds face. They give us a first-hand opportunity to help "our" breeding birds by magnifying ecotourism benefits in the birds' wintering areas.
Check out these trips, and share the information with your birding buddies, and you'll be helping out the birds, too.
Good birding Jody Enck
