Birding the Cayuga Lake Basin
Under Bob McGuire’s terrific leadership, a team of club volunteers put in many hours to bring this resource to the community. The book includes descriptions, maps, directions, GPS coordinates, and photos of 76 birding hot spots in the Cayuga Lake Basin. We are very excited to have this great resource in our hands. The book is now available at several venues:
Native Plants for Native Birds is a collection of articles
written over five years by Joel Baines for a column in the Cayuga Bird
Club newsletter. The book includes stunning photos by David Ruppert and
features articles full of practical information about plants native to
the Ithaca area that attract birds, including preferred growing
conditions, deer resistance, and more. It is a valuable resource to
local gardeners who enjoy birds and want to convert their property to
bird friendly, native plants.
This book is now out of print. All proceeds from the sale of the book went toward Cayuga Bird Club projects, such as planting a native garden in Ithaca or building a kiosk similar to the one the club installed at Myers Point in Lansing. Note that some of the chapters first appeared in our newsletters. See here for a section on the Chestnut Oak. |
