Birding Kiosk Now on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Cass Park

The Cayuga Waterfront Trail Initiative, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce held a special ribbon cutting for an information kiosk that beautifully illustrates the birds that trail users can see from Cass Park’s Waterfront Trail. The 4-sided kiosk features panels of birds that reside year round in the park, those that breed in this area but winter south, and those that migrate through the park during the spring and fall seasons. A 4th panel tells the story of bird migration for selected species breed in or pass through the park. The research team included the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Steve Kress, and Dave Nutter. The panels were designed by Iron Design and the kiosk fabricated locally by Accufab. This project was funded by a generous grant by the Triad Foundation.
