A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE BIRD LIFE OF THE FINGER LAKES SECTION OF NEW YORK, WITH MAIN REFERENCE TO THE SUMMER SEASON BY CHAS. J. SPIKER Field Naturalisf, Roosevelt Wild Life Station CONTENTS PAGE Introduction and acknowledgments 391 General description of the area 393 Topography 393 Temperature and rainfall 395 State parks 396 Buttermilk Falls 400 Ca3'uga Lake park 400 Enfield Glen State park 401 Fillmore Glen State park 403 Taughannock Falls State park 403 Watkins Glen 405 Habitat areas 406 Roadsides and cultivated lands 406 Upland mixed forests 411 Swamp land 413 Open marsh 417 The glens 421 Birds observed in the Finger Lakes Section 424 References 545 Index 547 INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Finger Lakes section of central and western New York has been the scene of many and varied ornithological activities for many years. It has produced a number of ornithologists of both local and national repute, who, as field students, laboratory scientists or as artists making drawings and paintings of birds, have brought this region to the general notice of the ornithological public. The late Dr. E. H. Eaton, recognized as the compiler of the most authori- tative work on the ornithology of New York, for many years claimed the Finger Lakes as his home ; and Louis Agassiz Fuertes, whose fame as a painter of birds will live long, grew up among the scenes of Cayuga Lake. [ 391 ] 392 Roosevelt Wild Life Bulletin There have also been a number of collectors of birds or their eggs who have added greatly to our knowledge of the birds of this section. Verdi Burtch and the late Clarence F. Stone of Branch- port began their collecting of eggs in the Lake Keuka and Potter Swamp districts over forty years ago ; and the late James Flahive of Penn Yan, during his life as a taxidermist, built up a very excellent collection of mounted l)irds, taken in the Finger Lakes section. Regarding the bird life in a section so well known to ornitholo- gists, it is unlikely that the following account will contain much that is new. The present bulletin represents merely an attempt to satisfy a growing desire on the part of many tourists and vacation- ists who annually visit the section, for a general guide to its bird life, including something about the Finger Lakes section itself, such as its physical features, and State parks, ])articularly in relation lo the bird life and the nature lover; something about the many bird species there found, including their more obvious field identi- fication marks, characteristic songs or calls, their habitats and the localities in which they may be found—or at least looked for; and to have this information in a form not too bulky to deter the average bird lover from including it in his or her luggage or field outfit. With this idea in mind the writer was sent into the field in June, 1929, and spent that summer and the following one (1930) in ornithological observations in the Finger Lakes area.

It took 7 years of labor, slowly clawing shovels of earth from the ground in a 363-mile trek across the wilderness of New York State. Through the use of many references, this paper attempts to describe this remarkable construction project. Additionally, it describes the early operation of the canal and its impact on the daily life on or near the canal‘s winding path across the state.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
