Hi Mike,
Ithaca will always be one of my favorite places.

Some years ago, I wrote this post, which better defines what makes Ithaca such a special place.

I have often thought of reprinting it here on Birds, Words, & Websites. Maybe this is a good time to do so. Thanks for writing!

I am a long time resident of Ithaca, and I am constantly trying to convince people that Ithaca has a lot more to offer than just cows and farm land.
There is a little bit of everything in Ithaca, but still maintains that small town feel. I hope that you return soon, and write more positive blog posts about our small city.

I just happened a long your blog post this morning and hope you’ll allow me to link it to mine. As former finger lakes resident, Cornell employee, and bird-watcher, I loved reading about your recent trip. I regret that I have only visited Sapsucker Woods twice in my life. I need to incorporate into my next trip back home.

Dear “Out”
So glad to hear from you and that you had a similarly warm experience at the Lab. It is indeed a special place.

Just visited Lab of O & Sapsucker Woods for the first time this past weekend. Up from NYC. So impressed with the welcoming atmosphere at the Lab, and the beauty of the woods. Saw my first Pileated Woodpecker (a thrill), and loved watching the Great blue heron just standing on his nest surveying the pond. He managed to look simultaneously gawky & majestic, no mean feat. I’m accustomed to seeing Great blues in inlets & marshy areas by the ocean. Something different to see one in the woods!

@Zen. I hope to follow up soon with the Great Horned Owl shots.

@Mrs. Ali. Your daughter is an incredible woman and I’m so happy she’s in my life. She speaks of you highly and often. : )
