This afternoon I went to the cornfields on Cayuga View Rd, TBurg to photograph the hundreds of crows. In a small tree next to the road there was a MOCKINGBIRD, the first I have seen this winter. (Well, maybe the second.). Further south on the road were 4 HORNED LARKS. But the crows were the main show, swarming on the road and filling the treetops. There is still corn standing unharvested and many of the crows were perched on top of the stalks. They were not obvious about their eating, but one of the group that had been in my trees a few days ago had pulled apart a squirrel nest, with no meal apparent.
