So what do we do? Deb From: <bounce-128145578-83565122...> <bounce-128145578-83565122...> On Behalf Of Geo Kloppel Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2024 12:07 PM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L <CAYUGABIRDS-L...> Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Taughannock Falls light show? Below is the press release for the evening light shows at the great falls in Taughannock Falls State Park later this week, which have potential to disturb the Peregrine Falcons and Ravens that are currently on nests there). Note that the event is jointly hosted by NYS Parks, Visit Ithaca, and also the Tompkins Chamber, which is handling online registration for after-dark hikes up the gorge trail to the lighted falls.

Apparently Taughannock Falls will be brightly illuminated from 8:30 to 10:00 this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night (April 18, 19, and 20). I guess it’s some kind of PR stunt to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New York State Park Service, but it couldn’t possibly come at a worse time, with the eggs just about to hatch in the Peregrine Falcon eyrie and a pair of Ravens nesting right beside the falls—not mention all the other wildlife in the park. There certainly should be other, less potentially harmful, ways to celebrate the Park Service. You can contact the Taughannock Park office at (607) 387-7041. (Photo by Arthur A.
