Page 2 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Bloom answers Maria Hudson, KLA Water Quality and DEC CSLAP

Many concerns have been raised about the blue green algae bloom experienced throughout the Finger Lakes in September. Below is a summary of what we know so far and how we are trying to monitor and pre- vent issues which inhibit the quality and safety of our lake. The Keuka Lake Association (KLA), Keuka Col- lege, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) , the Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Keuka Watershed Improvement Co- operative (KWIC) have been working together for many years sampling the lake water and monitoring the blooms as well as Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) outbreaks

Although we have no definitive reasons for the bloom out break it was probably a combination of factors. Storms early in the season brought nutrients thru runoff into the lake, then, the week between Labor Day and September 10th was windy and cold enough at night to begin lake turnover, bringing nutrients into the water column from sediments, finally starting on the12th or 13th the weather became mirror calm, hot and sunny for two weeks straight. Cyanobacteria (aka blue green algae) that created the bloom, are not true algae but they do use the sun as an energy source thru photosynthesis like green plants. Cyanobacteria also have the ability to regulate their buoyancy which allows them to float to the surface of a lake for maximum utilization of sunlight which can shade and outcompete other algae along the shore. So the sunny conditions and calm waters, after the stirring up nutrients, created an ideal opportunity for these organisms to multiply exponentially and accumulate on shorelines throughout the lake and even suspended in deeper water. These bacteria algae are normally present in small populations. Green algae (phytoplankton) is also normally present and makes up the bottom of the food chain supporting the fishery. There have always been blooms of cyanobacteria and algae on Keuka and other Finger Lakes. Unfortunate- ly, a bacterial bloom such as we experienced produces a toxin which can cause skin irritation, stomach is- sues if ingested and/or allergy like reactions.

The KLA and our partners are working hard to identify and mitigate problems that affect use of our lakes for recreation, drinking water, fishing and enjoying the water in general.

WATER QUALITY: A team of KLA volunteers along with Yates County Soil and Water, CCE samples water from 4 shoreline sites, and 4 open water sites including the water column, open water shallow and deep wa- ter once a month April- October. The samples are analyzed for nutrients, zooplankton, chlorophyll and other indicators of water quality and ecological stability. Results of these analyses are presented at our Annual Meeting by Dr. Tim Sellers from Keuka College. The DEC Citizen Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP) also performs sampling and analysis including sampling for HAB indicators and cyanobacterial tox- ins at the surface and deeper in the water column (18m or ~ 60 ft) twice a month at 2-3 sites. CSLAP sam- pling results will be available later this year. See the KLA website under Educational Resources /Water Qual- ity/Lake Monitoring for additional background on our monitoring efforts.

AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES: These efforts include grants to clear Starry Stonewort and prevent infesta- tions of this invasive weed, water chestnut pulls as well as establishing a highly successful Watercraft Stew- ardship program to inspect boats and remove invasive plants before they are spread. CCE provides the lead with many KLA volunteers as well as help from KWIC.

FISHERY MANAGEMENT: The DEC fishery biologists are embarking on a study to improve the cold water fishery (trout and other species) See the power point of the State of the Lake DEC presentation this summer on The KLA website under Recreation and Navigation.

AGRICULTURAL AND RUNOFF MANAGEMENT: The Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District works with farmers and land owners to prevent soil erosion, storm water runoff, store manure safely and pre- vent erosion at construction sites. They also assist KLA with AIS control and Water Quality monitoring. See ycsoilwater.com

SEWER AND SEPTIC TANK LEAKAGE: KWIC (Keuka Watershed Improvement Cooperative) works to pre- vent pollution from leaky septic, sanitary sewer and dumping into the lake. They also assist with granting for AIS work. See keukawatershed.com Cont. on page 3

Page 3 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Cont. from page 2

HAZARDOUS ALGAL BLOOMS: In addition to Water Quality monitoring DEC CSLAP also monitors shorelines and open wa- ter, reporting and sampling for Hazardous Algal Blooms (HABs) Samples were collected near shore and in the open water (if an open water bloom existed) and were also sampled for total and dissolved nutrients. After the latest bloom, the DEC enlisted the KLA and other volunteers throughout the Finger Lakes to take large volumes of samples of the bloom for genetic testing and other advanced analyses on the types of bacteria present, toxins produced, and nutrients present. See dec.ny.gov/ chemical/290.html, and [email protected] for more infor- mation on toxic blooms. The Dept. of Public Health has info on health effects as well. https:// www.health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/bluegreenalgae/

Keuka Lake is considered one of the most pristine "oligotrophic" of the Finger Lakes This means we have very low rates of dissolved nutrients and algal growth and efforts to keep it clean and clear as well as support the fishery are of utmost importance to the KLA and our partners.

Currently, I am looking for additional volunteers to help in shoreline monitoring efforts to identify and report potential problems. Let me know additional questions, concerns or if you would to volunteer! Contact the KLA Office and they will forward to me.

As you probably know, blue green algae & harmful algae blooms (HABs) have become an increased issue for all the Finger Lakes, including Keuka Lake.

One of our new board members, Maria Hudson, Pulteney, is a professional environmental scientist. She has totally engaged into the water sampling program and is helping to fill the loss of Al Wahlig. She has taken a lead on helping us deal with the increased HAB occurrences. We decided to make Maria Co-Chair of this committee to provide more will focus on this issue.

There are many areas that impact water quality directly or indirectly, including but not limited to: septic system management (by KWIC), water testing, aquatic (and terrestrial) invasive species, land management -(e.g. steep slopes) , and many others. This committee monitors the lake and recommends appropriate ac- tions to the board. You will regularly find articles in our newsletters by our scientific experts on many of these topics. In this issue, you’ll read articles from Emily Staychock on our boat steward program and starry stonewort removal at Sugar Creek, and an algae bloom update from Co-Chair Maria Hudson.

A few other highlights: The boat steward program, operating in it 2nd year with DEC funding had a very good year. The water test sampling crew completed their work in October. Dr. Tim Sellers will analyze and report early next year. The KWIC septic inspections, led by YC Soil and Water representative, Colby Petersen, are going well. The water chestnut pull has been completed. Starry stonewart was harvested in the Keuka outlet in late August. A follow-up inspection in October showed it did not to be harvested again in 2017. We contin- ue to strive to preserve and protect Keuka Lake.

Page 5 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Navigation & recreation Committee - Ira Goldman LIFE JACKET REMINDER – Keep in mind the NYS law requiring wearing of a Life Jacket: While not required by law, keep in mind that if you are fishing, skating or ice boating on the ice this winter, consider wearing a life jacket (an inflatable is ideal for this purpose) and carry “ice spikes” to pull yourself out should you fall through the ice. Remember that the ice thickness should be at least 3” thick but 4” is better and be alert for the thin spots over the methane vents that exist in several places around Keu- ka Lake.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT REMINDER: Now that you have winterized your boat and put it away, you might want to review your inventory of safety equipment to see if anything should be replaced for the upcoming 2018 season (get those items onto your holiday gift lists now while they are fresh in your mind). Keep in mind that if you use flares to meet the requirement for emergency distress signals, they expire after 3 years and if yours have, it is a good opportunity to consider the Sirius SOS light which is Coast Guard approved and has no expiration date. Also think about any other new safety equipment that you might have seen this summer that you should have for next summer - marine radio, depth finder, new spot lights, etc. If you would like help inspecting your required safety and navigation equipment, you can request a free Vessel Safety Check from the United States Power Squadron or the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The boat does not have to be in the water or the engine running to conduct this inspection but the battery needs to be installed so the navi- gation lights can be checked. I can do these inspections or you can request one on line at http:// wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=V-DEPT&category=i-want-a-vsc

WINTER BOATING: If you continue boating activities this winter, please keep in mind a number of safety concerns: WATER TEMPERATURE - Make sure you are properly dressed and outfitted as the lake temper- atures begin to drop rapidly (please see the water temperature graph on the KLA website). It has historically dropped from the 40's down into the 30's from November through March. LAKE LEVELS - As you navigate any waters this winter season, make sure you are on the lookout for shallow areas or uncovered obstacles due to the lower lake levels. Shallow water marker buoys may not be present if they have been taken out by NYS Parks for the winter months (which then get reset in the Spring). LESS ASSISTANCE OUT THERE - This time of year, since there are fewer people around, cries for help or distress may go unanswered for some time. Prepare yourself for anything to happen and assume it will be awhile before help can get to you. It is also a good idea to have a cell phone with you if you need to call for help and remember that the marine patrol has removed their boats from the water so it will take longer for them to get back on the water to pro- vide help.

BOATER SAFETY COURSES: NYS law now requires anyone born on or after May 1, 1996 to hold a Boater Safety Course Certificate in order to operate any "mechanically propelled vessel". There may not be many safety courses held locally during the winter months, but NYS has now approved four on line courses that you can take from the comfort of your own home. See the NYS Parks and Recreation web page at http:// parks.ny.gov/recreation/boating/boating-safety-class.aspx.

HAVE A GREAT WINTER!

Page 6 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Keuka Lake Association Watercraft Steward Program Wraps Up a Successful 2017 Season! Emily Staychock

The KLA wrapped up the 2017 Watercraft Steward program at the end of November after another suc- cessful year of preventing the spread of new aquatic invasive species (AIS) into Keuka Lake. Watercraft stewards Ryan Eckel, Chris Gilbert and Kati VanEtten worked full-time Memorial Day weekend through La- bor Day weekend, and Chris and Kati worked Fridays-Mondays in September and weekends in October. Chris worked several dates in March-May during fishing tournaments and Chris and Kati worked during the remaining tournaments in November. Volunteers worked 102 hours and 30 minutes in 2017. This includes the Town of Wayne staff who worked select weekends at the Town of Wayne launch. We are extremely grateful for assistance from our volunteers and the Town of Wayne in helping protect Keuka Lake as well as helping the KLA meet our 25% in-kind match requirement for our NYS Department of Environmental Conser- vation (DEC) grant! Thank you!! The 2017 season had less boat traffic compared to 2016, most likely due to the cooler temperatures and frequent rain storms. The following data is for the following launches from April 1 – September 30, for the following launches: Penn Yan Village, Keuka Lake State Park, Finger Lakes Museum, Town of Urbana, and Severne Point on Seneca Lake (these numbers are not final as we still need to analyze some remaining da- ta): 2017: April 1 – September 30: Watercraft inspected: 6,854; individuals encountered: 15,859 2016: May 27 – September: Watercraft inspected: 8,924, individuals encountered: 20,944 Last water body visited: Keuka Lake = 68.5% of watercraft, Canandaigua Lake = 2.6%, Seneca Lake = 1.4%; 20% of boats were launching for the first time or hadn’t launches in two weeks, and many oth- er waterbodies in and outside of NYS were less than 1% 86.7% of boats were registered in NYS, 10.8% in PA, and several other states around the US as well as Canada were less than 1% No new AIS were discovered by watercraft stewards, and stewards working at the Penn Yan Village launch reported a dramatic decline in the amount of starry stonewort removed after the aquatic weed harvester cut the infestation in the Keuka Lake Outlet at the end of August

The NYS DEC grant will provide the KLA with one more season of funding for the watercraft steward pro- gram. We’ll begin planning the 2018 program in the spring – please contact Emily Staychock if you’d like to volunteer: [email protected]; 315-536-5123 x4127 or contact the KLA Office.

Many Thanks to our KLA Watercraft Steward Program Volunteers!!

The 2017 Watercraft Steward program closed for the season at the end of November. Once again we were fortunate to have assistance from a small army of volunteers! Volunteers are critical not only to provide assistance to paid stewards during fishing tournaments and busy shifts but also to meet the 25% matching funds requirement of our NYS Department of Environmental Conservation grant. We were funded $100,000 over three years but this requires a 25% match of $33,333 that the KLA must provide over three years, which can be met through a combination of volunteer time and KLA expenses. The Keuka Lake Association and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates County would like to thank the following volunteers for their ded- icated service. Many of these folks have volunteered for the past two or three years and we are extremely appreciative of their commitment! The KLA would also like to recognize the Town of Wayne for independent- ly staffing their town boat launch for the second year in a row during select weekends and for contributing these hours towards our in-kind match. MANY THANKS to Bill Laffin for his tireless efforts in submitting the quarterly reports to the NYS DEC so that we can continue to receive our grant funding! A big THANK YOU to the following volunteers:

Page 7 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Harvesting Starry Stonewort! Emily Staychock, AIS Advisor, CCE

We’re happy to report the success of another starry stonewort removal effort! An infesta- tion of the highly invasive macroalgae starry stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa) was discovered along the banks of Sugar Creek near its mouth at Keuka Lake by CCE educator Emily Staychock and former KLA watercraft steward coordinator Laura Henderson in September 2016. In July 2017 KLA watercraft steward Chris Gilbert discovered that this infestation had spread into Keuka Lake where the Creek meets the Lake. A KWIC (Keuka Watershed Improvement Cooperative) sub-committee made up of Pat Killen, Mark Morris, Dennis Carlson, Tim Cutler (KLA Board of Directors), Steve Butchko, and Emily Staychock explored possi- bilities for managing these infestations. Emily spoke with a starry stonewort expert with the Minnesota De- partment of Natural Resources (DNR) to get his input. Due to the location of the infestation on the banks of the Creek, which would be difficult to access with an aquatic weed harvester, and the small size of the infes- tation, the sub-committee determined that the most appropriate management action was to hand-remove the organism using garden rakes. The water level in these locations is shallow enough to allow for easy ac- cess wading (less than three feet), and hand removal generally has a lighter impact on the environment. The sub-committee began planning a starry stonewort removal event for Saturday, October 28 from 9 am – noon. They part- nered with Pat Atkinson and Deb Lyon from the Finger Lakes Museum and Aquarium (FLM&A), which is located in Branchport along Sugar Creek and has a kayak/canoe launch and kayaks and canoes available for use. The project utilized volunteer assistance from nine Keuka College students and two Prattsburgh school students. The Keuka Col- lege students were coordinated by Keuka College faculty Mark Sugaski, Chair of the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathemat- ics, and Luciana Cursino-Parent, Assistant Professor of Biology. The sub-committee members provided some of the supplies and the KLA provided the paid time of watercraft steward Chris Gilbert to serve as an on-site technical assistant. The KLA also provid- ed pizza for volunteers. The FLM&A donated the use of their kayaks and tractor with a front loader and the operator. Pat Atkinson and Deb Lyon volunteered their time to coordinate kayak/canoe use and assist with safety during the event. There was concern for the potential for escaped starry stonewort fragments to float away and form new colonies. However, the starry stonewort expert at the MN DNR advised that due to its high water content (starry stonewort is 92% water), the organism is much more likely to sink than to float away. This was confirmed during the Keuka Lake Outlet starry stonewort management effort that occurred in August 2017, which utilized a mechanical aquatic weed harvester to cut the large and highly invasive in- festation in the Outlet. During this operation Emily monitored downstream of the project area and did not observe starry stonewort fragments escaping and floating down the Outlet. Fortunately the morning of October 28 was sunny and dry. Donned with borrowed wetsuits and life vests and armed with garden and landscaping rakes, volunteers waded into Sugar Creek and raked up star- ry stonewort and placed it into baskets and bags that were taken to shore, where Pat Killen, Mark Morris and the Prattsburgh student volunteers dumped it into the front loader bucket of the Finger Lake Museum’s Kubota tractor, operated by Jim Higgins. Jim transported it to the Sugar Creek launch parking area, where the Town of Jerusalem highway vehicles removed it to an off-site location for composting. The total amount removed filled four tractor bucket loads. This project highlights the strong partnerships that exist in the Keu- ka Lake community and the capacity of these partnerships to protect Keuka Lake. Plans are already in place to have another starry stonewort removal event at Sugar Creek during late summer 2018! Contact Emily Staychock for more information: [email protected]; 315-536-5123 or the KLA Office.

Page 9 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Critter Corner - Dave deCalesta Feeding Songbirds, and ONLY Songbirds, Part II

Winter is a time of food scarcity. For those critters choosing to remain around Keuka Lake for the duration of winter, scrounging for food to stay warm and alive is a full-time occupation fraught with peril. Competitors, such as deer, coyotes, bear, and squirrels congregate around bird feeders looking for an easy meal. Songbird predators (mainly hawks and feral cats) home in on bird feeder sites as happy hunting grounds. Keeping competitors away from bird feeders is a challenge, as is protecting songbirds from preda- tors. Both can be done: read on.

Stymie the Competition: Protecting bird feeders from squirrels and chipmunks is no easy task, but it can be done and has been described in an earlier Critter Corner article (September 2014 edition of the KLA newslet- ter and reprinted on page 10). Keeping unwanted avian competitors, such as blue jays and blackbirds, from bird feeders is almost impossible—better just to accept their pilfering as part of the bargain. Deer bump bird feeders with their noses to shake out birdseed: simply placing the feeder above the reach of deer (about 6 feet) solves that problem. Bears are a little more difficult: they can pull down bird feeders on poles (as they did in our back yard!) to get at the seed/suet. Placing bird feeders atop 6 foot high 4X4 beams seems a little extreme but it will keep bear and deer off if you don’t mind reaching up to replenish the bird seed. However, raccoons can climb up these poles, so sheathing the top 3 feet of the beams with sheet metal will keep rac- coons from climbing up to the feeder.

Remember the clothesline/pulley arrangements people in apartments used to dry their laundry? They used pulleys at their widow attached across the alley to another pulley on the neighboring building. People have used similar pulley arrangements to suspend bird feeders above the ground out of the reach of deer, bear, raccoons and squirrels. One pulley is attached to a deck post (or side of a house) and the other to a tree (or pole) a 20 or so feet away. The bird feeder is attached to a rope loop around the pulleys: it can be reeled in to add birdfeed and then reeled out midway between the two pulleys. What about squirrels that can run on the rope and raccoons that can hand-to-hand their way to the birdfeeder? Place two 3 foot long sections of 2 inch diameter PVC pipe on either side of the birdfeeder such that they rotate freely. Squirrels and raccoons will be shucked off the rope when they hit the PVC pipes. Bears have been known to hand-to-hand their way out on these rope/pulley arrangements which usually collapse from their weight. For them—pray.

Stymie the Predators: Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s hawks are rightly named “bird hawks” as their main prey item is birds. They love to swoop up over rooftops and down onto birdfeeders with little warning to nab feeding songbirds. Placing bird feeders in close proximity to large shrubs or conifers provides protective cov- er the songbirds can quickly flit into to escape the hawks. If the shrub /conifer limbs of such protective cover are too thin to support the weight of squirrel jumpers so much the better, and of course do not place feeders directly below trees squirrels can drop from.

Feral cats generally snag birds feeding on the ground (e.g. juncos and cardinals) below bird feeders. Some cardinal feeders are built to be placed close to the ground. Don’t use them. In time, cardinals (and juncos) will come to and use feeders above the ground. Bird seed dislodged from feeders by “messy” birds ends up on the ground, creating feral cat hazards to ground-feeding birds. If the feeder is on a pole, placing an inverted cone under the feeder will catch most of the seeds, keeping them from falling to the ground (they also form shields squirrels and chipmunks can’t defeat).

Happy bird feeding – your efforts are really appre- ciated by the birds.

Even though Dave and his wife, Kathy, have left Keuka Lake for Tennessee, Dave has still volunteered to continue to contribute to the KLA newsletter. His knowledge is much appreciated!!! Past “Critter Corner” articles can be found on our website.

Page 10 December 2017 KLA Newsletter Critter Corner: Feeding the birds and ONLY the birds (September 2014)

As anyone who has fed wild birds with bird feeders knows, those little feathered friends add a splash of color to our yards, bring us closer to wildlife, and are just fun and entertaining to watch. Problem is, there is a host of free-loaders who also want a free lunch, and they can rapidly empty and/or destroy bird feeders. Free-loaders include bears, rac- coons, squirrels, chipmunks, ‘possums, and deer, as well as unwanted birds such as crows, grackles and (maybe) blue jays. In addition to looting bird feeders, bears usually destroy them as they chew their way to the seeds/suet blocks. So, how to feed the birds we want, and exclude the other critters?

The large free-loaders (bear, raccoons, ‘possums and deer) generally use bird feeders at night, so taking bird feeders (including the suet cages) in at night, EVERY NIGHT, pretty much eliminates their depredations, plus those of flying squirrels, which are nocturnal.

We are left with squirrels, chipmunks, and a few birds. Squirrels and chipmunks can climb those shepherd crooks and other poles people use to hang bird seed and suet feeders from. We have all seen the metal or plastic cones that are affixed to poles below the feeders. These prevent squirrels and chipmunks from climbing up poles to reach the feeders. A single cone works well to deter chipmunks, but squirrels are usually agile enough to twist their bodies in strange ways to climb around the cones, so for squirrels you really need a second cone, placed about 8 inches below the first cone. If you’re lucky, you can purchase a second cone that you can put on the pole. If not, and you’re handy, you can make a second cone out of sheet metal (see instructions below) and place it below the first cone. You’ll have to figure out a way to affix the cone to the pole, but if you are handy enough to make a cone, you’ll be handy enough to figure out how to attach it to the pole. Do remember that squirrels can jump laterally about 2 feet, and can glide down to land on top of bird feeders, so you will have to place your feeders at least 2 feet away from trees and bushes they can leap from, and also avoid placing feeders below trees and tall shrubs they can drop down from.

The one exception to the above is the all-metal bird feeders with a spring-loaded perch (see right picture above). You can adjust the spring so that only small birds (chickadees, titmice, finches, sparrows, nuthatches, etc.) perching on it will not weigh it down, causing a barrier to slide down and cover the feeding tray. Squirrels, chipmunks, and the larger un- wanted birds will be heavy enough to cause the barrier to slide down when they stand on the perch to rob the feeder. These feeders CAN be left out overnight (we never had bears attack them), but be sure that the catch that holds the top down (this is where you load the feeder by tilting up the top) is secured or raccoons will learn to open the top and empty the feeder. Also, if you feed only shelled safflower seeds, the word is that grackles will not eat them, which is important to know because grackles can land on and feed from feeders protected from squirrels by cones.

Enjoy the show. Oh, and by the way, feeding during summer provides extra nutrition to the parent birds as they expend tons of energy catching and feeding insects to their young. Feeding year ‘round is best. For you and the birds.
