Peregrine Watch cancelled. The State Park called and said their biologists concluded it would be too stressful to have a viewing event before the birds fledge, and are rescinding the permit. They said we could have a viewing event after they fledge, but then we would just be showing an empty ledge, which I think defeats the point of the event.

Hi Friends, I will be leading a field trip for the Cayuga Bird Club to hotspots around Cayuta Lake on Thursday, May 16. All are welcome and encouraged to come, novices to experts of any demographic with even a passing interest in birds. Meet at the Cayuta Lake Boat Launch at 7:30AM (parking at the lake end of the boat launch access road off Cayutaville Rd. on the north end of the lake). Note this is Cayuta Lake in Schuyler County not Cayuga Lake. Here is a link to the eBird hotspot, through which you can access a map and directions Cayuta Lake Boat Launch, Schuyler, New York, United States - eBird Hotspot <https://ebird.org/hotspot/L265902> We will bird the boat launch road, and then travel to a few other local spots- probably Cayuta Gulf, possibly FLLT Martin Preserve, Carley x Hosenfeld Rd grasslands, or a portion of the Finger Lakes Trail time permitting. This will be a half day trip ending around noonish. If you can't make the 7:30 start, feel free to reach out via this email, and I will share better contact info to coordinate where you can meet us day of. Hope to see you there!

Meetings start with social time at 7:00pm, the reading of the bird list at 7:20pm, and club business at 7:30pm, followed by the speaker's presentation starting around 8:00pm and ending by 9:00pm. Marie Read will present, "Return to Puffin Paradise: Alaska’s Pribilof Islands". Ever since her first visit to Alaska’s Pribilof Islands in 2015, Marie dreamed of returning to this remote island group far out in the Bering Sea. The Pribilofs are often described as a bird photographer’s paradise, home to millions of nesting seabirds. Three species of auklet, murres, cormorants, and kittiwakes including the endemic Red-legged species, pose photogenically on lichen-covered rocks or precipitous cliff faces. The avian stars though are those adorable clowns of the sea: Horned and Tufted Puffins. Marie hoped to photograph them carrying fish for their young in early August, when the islands are at their most fog-shrouded. Getting to the Pribilofs can be an adventure, fraught with flight cancellations, as Marie would discover. After a failed attempt in 2022, in July 2023 she made it! She’ll share her experiences and lots of great photos. About the speaker: Local bird photographer Marie Read’s photos are published in magazines, books, and calendars worldwide. She’s won numerous awards, including Highly Commended for Birds in Flight in the 2023 Bird Photographer of the Year Contest. Her articles and photo essays about bird behavior and bird photography have appeared in Living Bird, Bird Watching, Nature’s Best, and Wild Planet, among others. She also has authored or co-authored six books, including the best-selling title Mastering Bird Photography: the Art, Craft and Technique of Photographing Birds and Their Behavior. Colleen Richards Corresponding Secretary Cayuga Bird Club Cayuga Bird Club meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are free and open to the public. We will attempt to make presentations available virtually as a recording posted a few days later, on our YouTube channel @cayugabirdclub.

Laura, I no longer have access to good research papers but recollect a study promoted by CLO that spoke to avian nutrition and honeysuckle.The bottom line was that birds derived nothing of nutritional value. I found that in direct conflict with the birds' denuding every honeysuckle in sight when the berries became ripe. Gray-stemmed dogwood is another example of knowledgeable research claims that were in conflict with observed bird feeding preferences. The upshot is better safe than story as we will never observe the health results of feeding either wild food, seed or jelly. I think we all know that the varieties of suet cake are no more than dales pitches targeting human desires/preferences. We ran a study with a then local suet cake manufacturer and found that a simple suet cake with no additives was preferred by all.

Hi all, I have been feeding grape jelly to birds for years and find the recent discussion about whether that is good or bad for birds very interesting, and at the same time distressing. Can anyone who has been suggesting that feeding jelly is bad point to any study that has shown this to be true (jelly which does not have preservatives nor food coloring) ? I have been looking at the scientific literature (using google scholar) for any credible studies that suggest feeding sucrose-laden jelly (white sugar is sucrose) is bad for the birds which we see coming to snack (orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, catbirds, downy woodpeckers, house finch) and have found nothing that supports this claim. While here are many studies looking at digestion in wild birds, nutrition of fruits and seeds, affects of supplemental feeding (seeds, not jelly) I have found nothing so far that suggests that feeding jelly is harmful. Generally, it seems birds select foods from which they derive nutrition and for which their digestive systems are able to process. I have also not found any study that looks specifically at the effects on birds of consuming jelly. So, I have decided to feed more oranges and to cut back on the jelly, but not to eliminate it entirely. Wild birds seem able to know what is good for them. Any thoughts?

For purely incidental (i.e. not experimental) reasons, one of the two identical hummingbird feeders that I’m running side-by-side is loaded with the usual colorless 1:4 solution of “pure cane sugar” (Domino), and the other is loaded with a 1:4 solution of “certified organic pure cane sugar”, which of course has not been stripped of all traces of cane molasses by the so-called “bleaching” process, and consequently has a very slight tawny color. The hummers are favoring the Domino. -Geo -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

Hi, Donna, On the run but how about powdered sugar? I've understood it is as much of a no-no as other sugars .. brown, Karo, etc.. You've provided the real scientific reasons for your argument. We're still finding Os. Candace & Dave did the complete trip around Seneca Lake last wk. to our astonishment but I just get too tired to go on the jaunts like Becky does. She was planning on retiring from the hunts but Candace said it has to go through this year ... aghhh. I'd rather look at flowers.

Thanks to Donna and Paul for the information provided. Fun observation:Toxay I bought an oriole feeder and some prepared bird jelly. I put it out and got some jelly on me as I hung the feeder. I walked inside, washed my fingers,walked back to the door. and in that amount of time there ws an oriole eating the jelly. Amazing. Woodpeckers and summer suit:I once spent several hours over each of two days watching a Red-bellied Woodpecker feeding young at a nest. The nest was near my suit feeders, that I know both male and female visited. The adults brought both large caterpillars and suet to their young. This was not exactly alternated, but sort of close to bringing the different food on alternate trips. I don't ascribe wisdom to the birds, but effectively they varied the diet of their young. Merlin: More Merlin discovered in Tomp. County this year than ever before, partially due to Geo's help. But lots of areas that have had nests in the past, don't have any reports (YET) for this year. I just found a nest near The Parkway x Klinewood Rds. x Comstock, so I don't need help about that pair. Just confirmed today a nest on Yellow Barn Rd. But, the pair near the Dryden Hotel and along Lake Rd. have eluded me, despite a lot of time looking. I have this love/hate relationship with Merlin. Today, I watched a female eat a small prey brought by her mate to the nest area, legs and feet and all. Love those birds.

Based on my experience feeding hummingbirds, I believe there is an additional difference that separates cane sugar from beet sugar. Years ago, hummers suddenly refused our sugar nectar. Realizing we had opened a new bag, we checked the bag. It listed beet sugar. Tasted identical to our taste buds. Borrowed cane sugar from neighbors and on providing it to the feeders, the hummer eagerly returned. I wondered if it is higher sugar content or closer to real nectar taste?

Some of the glucose in corn syrup is converted to fructose using enzymes, resulting in HFCS. - Table Sugar is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets. - Physical Form: - HFCS is liquid and contains about 24% water. - Sugar is dry and granulated. - Nutritional Value: - In terms of nutritional value and health properties, there are no significant differences between HFCS 55 and sugar (although some science writers debate this statement on the basis of how these substances are digested in humans). Both are broken down into fructose and glucose during digestion. The US Food and Drug Administration long ago declared HFCS to be safe for human consumption. HFCS is used in various foods because it is cheaper (or was at one time cheaper) than cane/beet sugar. However, in recent decades manyhumans have way-overconsumed “foods” like sodas and some not-too-nutritional edibles, and this has contributed to obesity, diabetes and other adverse health conditions. So, it is the high consumption of HFCS that is the problem, most likely, and not the small chemical differences between the two types of sugars.

To my knowledge, nobody has studied the effect of this “diet” for a few months of the year. (By the way, there are no added artificial colors or flavors in grape jellies for humans; just pectin (from apples) which makes it gel, and 1 or 2 fruit acids (citric, malic, etc.) which make it the right pH (acidity) and may give a tart “note.” And whatever sugar source the manufacturer chose to use). A few years back, bird researchers found that Hummingbirds drinking sugar-water with too high a concentration of sugar might develop fatty liver disease, so now we are advised to make a “nectar” of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water, which if you taste it is pretty dilute. Let’s be frank, we like putting out this attractive jelly because it brings beautiful birds in where we can see them. As some have suggested here, maybe just provide fruit? That would need frequent changing to avoid molds, etc. during warm weather.

(By the way, there are no added artificial colors or flavors in grape jellies for humans; just pectin (from apples) which makes it gel, and 1 or 2 fruit acids (citric, malic, etc.) which make it the right pH (acidity) and may give a tart “note.” And whatever sugar source the manufacturer chose to use). A few years back, bird researchers found that Hummingbirds drinking sugar-water with too high a concentration of sugar might develop fatty liver disease, so now we are advised to make a “nectar” of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water, which if you taste it is pretty dilute. Let’s be frank, we like putting out this attractive jelly because it brings beautiful birds in where we can see them. As some have suggested here, maybe just provide fruit? That would need frequent changing to avoid molds, etc. during warm weather.

As often happens, birding from our Jeep at this time was sparse but we were in for a real treat when we negotiated the minefield on Van Dyne Spoor Rd to its end. Along the way we had several nifty sightings but the incredible awaited us at the end. When glassing the area we saw very many Black Terns nearby and further out there were literally hundreds! Impossible to count and just as difficult to guess at the actual number. In over 50 years of birding, I have never seen so many. Sue and I were completely enthralled despite the very gusty winds. Pete, you said they were present but little did we expect such a treat. We also had a quick look of a very large grackle in the Visitors Center marsh. Reminded of a Boat-tailed but it disappeared too quickly. John and Sue -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

The next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club will be next Monday, May 13 at 7:30 at Foundation of Light, 391 Turkey Hill Rd., Ithaca, NY.Meetings start with social time at 7:00pm, the reading of the bird list at 7:20pm, and club business at 7:30pm, followed by the speaker's presentation starting around 8:00pm and ending by 9:00pm.Marie Read will present, "Return to Puffin Paradise: Alaska�s Pribilof Islands". Ever since her first visit to Alaska�s Pribilof Islands in 2015, Marie dreamed of returning to this remote island group far out in the Bering Sea. The Pribilofs are often described as a bird photographer�s paradise, home to millions of nesting seabirds. Three species of auklet, murres, cormorants, and kittiwakes including the endemic Red-legged species, pose photogenically on lichen-covered rocks or precipitous cliff faces. The avian stars though are those adorable clowns of the sea: Horned and Tufted Puffins. Marie hoped to photograph them carrying fish for their young in early August, when the islands are at their most fog-shrouded. Getting to the Pribilofs can be an adventure, fraught with flight cancellations, as Marie would discover. After a failed attempt in 2022, in July 2023 she made it! She�ll share her experiences and lots of great photos.About the speaker: Local bird photographer Marie Read�s photos are published in magazines, books, and calendars worldwide. She�s won numerous awards, including Highly Commended for Birds in Flight in the 2023 Bird Photographer of the Year Contest. Her articles and photo essays about bird behavior and bird photography have appeared in Living Bird, Bird Watching, Nature�s Best, and Wild Planet, among others. She also has authored or co-authored six books, including the best-selling title Mastering Bird Photography: the Art, Craft and Technique of Photographing Birds and Their Behavior.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird ClubCayuga Bird Club meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are free and open to the public.

A point I seem to continually ponder in this season of new beginnings as I amazingly consider the various and sundry birds available to the discerning eye: herons, humming birds, cranes, warblers, raptors, vultures, marsh birds, etc., etc. It brings to my mind the last paraphrase of the 1st edition of Origin of Species: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

With respect to touch ups and blending and AI, I think anything is fine as long as you're honest about what you've done and where you got it (in the wild, at a zoo or aviary, etc). Contests and publications can, of course, set rules on what is acceptable. The real ethically problematic part is disturbing a wild subject just for the shot, e.g., by approaching too close or baiting. Those should be strongly discouraged, but sadly as far as photo contests go it's usually impossible to know whether a given photo was taken in an unethical manner.

I am going to really stick my neck out here, please don't chop it off. I was recently asked by a new birder and photographer about "when is a wildlife photo not a wildlife photo?" She asked if a photo taken at a zoo of a bird was really a wildlife photo? She also asked about post production. How much editing was too much This reminded me of a photo that I submitted to the CBC annual photo night. I was a photo of three woodpeckers a Downy, Hairy and Red-bellied at a log feeder that I had set up. I tried for hours to get a photo of all three together. I finally gave up and created a photo of all three in Photoshop. I did confess to this the evening of the program so I wasn't trying to fool anybody, just show a photo of all three. Now all three woodpeckers were wild birds and I did take the photos, but would this be considered "wildlife photography?

Hi Bird Lovers, First some good news. It only took a week for the Purple Martins to find and start occupying the second apartment complex we put up in Stewart Park. The first box along Fall Creek is essentially fully occupied. Yesterday, I saw 6 Martins checking out various compartments in our box next to the lagoon (across the street from the playground).

Lots of welcome arrivals, including Great Crested Flycatcher today, but I’m still feeding nyjer seed to a couple of Pine Siskins. The Ravens at Taughannock Falls have four nestlings. They are quite late compared to the big and noisy youngsters in my spruce plantation, seeming to support the presumption that their parents are the same pair that attempted to construct a nest farther up the gorge in late February but couldn’t make the sticks stay put upon the tiny, outward sloping ledge they had chosen. I wonder if they made actual use of the stolen eggs they had cached up that-a-way, or if that business in which they cooperated was a kind of invented courtship activity? -Geo -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

Just back from a great hike to the top of the waterfalls at Lick Brook (can't recall the new name of the Preserve). Lots of wildflowers and native plants. And we had a red-tailed hawk chase an adult Bald Eagle from its catch of a large fish just feet ahead of us on the trail. Later saw and heard Scarlet Tanager, Northern Waterthrush, Raven and bluebirds along with many other pre-migration regulars. A glorious, sweaty trek!

[cid:40634fed-d61b-4da5-9174-42b85d71727c] Montezuma Audubon Center to Hold Warbler Migration Presentation and Walk Looking for an outdoor educational adventure for this sunny week ahead? What better way to start a new month than to learn about the tiny migratory birds that have made their long-awaited journey back to the Montezuma Wetlands Complex? Join a Montezuma Audubon Center educator on Wednesday, May 1 at 3pm for a presentation on warbler migration this time of year and all the different kinds of warblers that call the Complex home for summer. Common Yellowthroat Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Cerulean Warblers are just a few we will highlight and hope to see! We may even hear the buzz from our small but mighty pollinators in our wildflower meadow. With our new warbler knowledge, we will head out for a 1-mile leisure birding walk in our forest and grassland trail. There is one incline during this walk on our stone dust path. No prior birding experience necessary! We will provide binoculars and field guides for the duration of the program. We will meet at the Montezuma Audubon Center (2295 State Route 89, Savannah, NY 13146). * Fee: $10/individual * Registration is required * Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult Call (315) 365-3588 or email <montezuma...><mailto:<montezuma...> <mailto:<montezuma...> with any questions.

Ann Mitchell & I went to Montezuma today seeking various marsh birds. We were among several people who looked carefully in the S part of the Carncross impoundment where it was seen yesterday evening but did not see the Marbled Godwit this morning. However it was in a couple of eBird reports in the mid-afternoon with frustratingly few details for a rare bird report as to where it was observed, what it was doing, and how it was distinguished from other shorebirds with long a upturned bill such as Greater Yellowlegs or Hudsonian Godwit. We found a Pectoral Sandpiper, but it was very difficult to see in the very SW corner of the Carncross impoundment, viewed from the W end of the S dike. Sora was whinnying from several locations, including Carncross and Deep Muck. American Bittern was singing “unk-a-lunk” from Van Dyne Spoor Rd. A treat that I feared we had missed for the year was the breeding plumage male Eurasian Wigeon scoped south from the turnaround at the end of Van Dyne Spoor Rd in open water between muskrat mounds near a group of resting Double-crested Cormorants. High over Tschache Pool we scoped several Black Terns pretty far away. Pied-billed Grebes and American Coots and Common Gallinules and Marsh Wrens and Swamp Sparrows are all singing. Lots of Caspian Terns are flying about. Enjoy Spring! - - Dave Nutter -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

Hi local birders, The Cayuga Bird Club is looking to host a Peregrine watching event at Taughannock Falls on Memorial Day Weekend. The idea is to have volunteers with scopes pointing at the peregrines to share with passers by, with some explanation of the history of Peregrines at Taughannock. We're looking at a 10am-3pm window from Saturday May 25 through Monday, May 27, though the exact days and times are not yet finalized. We could do just one day, two days, or all three days, and may shorten the viewing window, depending on availability of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer for this, please fill this form: https://forms.gle/nRvqxp4yJX7By5JFA or email me your availability, whichever is more convenient (e.g., if the answer is simply "I can be there the whole time" :-).

A FOY house wren was singing at lighthouse point this morning, along with Carolina Wren and a Winter Wren with a very interesting intro to its song, while working with the Cayuga Bird Club conservation action committee and some Cornell women's soccer players clearing privet. Also heard Rusty Blackbirds, briefly seeing at least two. Ospreys were circling noisily usually when a juvie Bald Eagle was in the area, though later seemingly in some kind of display, one bird clutching a small fish in one talon and flapping around awkwardly.

Hi All, Just a reminder that we have two events happening on Sunday and Monday down at Lighthouse Point Woods from about 10 am to noon both days. (park at Newman Golf Course at west end of Willow Ave., Ithaca). On Sunday we will be engaged with volunteers from Trees Up Tompkins (TUT) and Cornell University. On Monday we will be engaged again with some folks from TUT and students from New Roots Charter School. Wear boots, bring your curiosity, enthusiasm, questions, binoculars, work gloves, notebooks, cameras, and your friends! There will be opportunities to engage in habitat restoration, but most importantly, we will provide a chance for you to learn more about our project and you can help us better understand what kind of stories and posts you want to see about our work down there. Thanks to those who already let me know if you will be coming (and which day). If you want to know more or want to let me know to expect you, just drop me a line at <jodyenck...> Thanks!!

Hi all, I was pleased to talk with Linda Ziemba yesterday, 16th, while watching the Swainson’s Hawk on Tyre Rd. One of the subjects was water levels and the drawdown of Tschache Pool currently underway. She has updates that I’m passing along to everyone in light of her recent talk at the CBC meeting. I missed it live, but watched online. It is very interesting and recommended viewing. -Mays point will not be drawn down this year. She believes it will be good for another year as is. -Tschache Pool is taking a very long time to recede because of the recent rains, but is still draining. Hopefully shorebird habitat will be available there. Happy birding, Gary Kohlenberg -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
