Date: 8/12/25 4:10 am From: Jane Bain <jane.bain...> Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Thursday Morning Birding Meetup
Join us on Thursday mornings to meet up with other birders for a casual morning of birding. Meetups are open to everyone, from beginners to seasoned birders to anyone just interested in enjoying a morning with nature and company. There are no designated leaders for the walks, which we expect to run from 7am until around 8:30am. Participants can peel off early to get to work as needed, or go for coffee and/or breakfast afterwards.
August 14 Thursday Birding Meetup: Alder Pond at Ken Haas’s home at 5915 State Route 79. If you missed the earlier field trip to Alder Pond, this is your chance to visit this lovely place and see some great birds with Ken. He says that the trails are easy walking, meandering through 10 acres of mixed deciduous and coniferous young forest with some dense undergrowth, a swampy area and some shrubby areas, as well as a pond, with potential to see all kinds of birds. Directions from Ithaca: take 79 west to Mecklenburg. Continue 0.8 miles out of the village up the hill and around to a straight stretch. Shortly before the road curves again, Turnpike Road comes in from the left. The driveway to Alder Pond is to the right directly opposite Turnpike Road. There is space for five cars to park on the property; if that is full, park along Turnpike Road (i.e., if you see cars parked on Turnpike Road, the lot is probably full at the property).
