CORNELL LAB PROJECT FEEDER WATCH CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

Join Us in Celebrating 40 Years of FeederWatch!

Watch the new documentary short

For 40 years, Project FeederWatch has brought people together to watch, count, and learn about the birds in their own backyards. What began as a pioneering participatory science project has grown into a remarkable long-term effort that helps researchers understand birds and how their populations are changing.

To commemorate this milestone, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology collaborated with Blank Space to produce a new documentary short to celebrate 40 years of Project FeederWatch. Celebrating Forty Years of Project FeederWatch

Response: Currently trying to locate her village lectures---if this is possible that is--Sanger was reportedly a frequent Harmon visitor in the 30's; here is an article which also mentions the Baroness Ishimoto.

ALPHABET MADNESS---LAST DITCH CLOSES ITS DOORS



The story came out of nowhere. The bar was not in a major metropolitan area, but it became the center of a lesbian civil war that showcased the woke left's more extreme tendencies. Last Ditch in Greenfield, Massachusetts, struggled after the summer, probably because it could never enforce revenue-boosting measures like cover fees. They opted to loosen their mask mandate, which set off a firestorm of gay rage that crashed into the establishment. People hoped the bar would be firebombed for putting vulnerable people at risk, and allegations of ableism and racism poured in. It was a circus.

GRANDFATHERED, BUT GROUNDED, CROTON'S PIGEON PROPOSAL WOULD BAN EXERCISE RELEASES PLUS PETITION TO OPPOSE NEW DRAFT


Your editor's note: As someone whose father raised and flew pigeons--Tiplers, Flights and Danishes---the proposal allegedly under consideration is simply not tenable. 

FROM THE CROTON NEWS SITE: 

Watch the explainer on YouTube

Croton’s latest compromise on pigeons comes with a catch: the birds could stay, if the Zoning Board agrees, but their daily exercise releases could not.

The October 22 draft would tell the board to weigh “relative harm, fairness, and hardships” when deciding whether an existing flock could remain. Yet it would give the board no discretion to permit releases for exercise or training. Fairness would be considered at the hearing; that restriction would already be decided. MORE AT Grandfathered, but grounded: Croton’s pigeon proposal would ban exercise releases — Croton-on-Hudson, NY


The offer, in other words, is to grandfather the flock while grounding its daily flying routine.

For the resident at the center of the dispute, that routine is the point. He told trustees on August 19 that he releases his birds once a day for one or two hours of training. He also described keeping pigeons since childhood and the connection they preserve to his late father. Permission to keep them under the new conditions would not preserve the way he has kept them.
