On Sunday at about 2:50 PM, I saw about eight big waves of SNOW GEESE passing over the Lansing Center Trail. I counted about 1800 birds. Then I called home. About five miles south, Miyoko and Tilden got the message and bundled up in time to see all these birds streaming overhead a couple of minutes later.
>From the Lansing Center Trail, I also saw a calling COMMON RAVEN and three EASTERN BLUEBIRDS. I looked for the Rough-legged Hawk and Northern Shrike found in Lansing on the Christmas Bird Count, but didn’t find them. Also, on Saturday at 5 PM, I saw the barrel-chested, round-headed, beakless, doubly pointed silhouette of a PEREGRINE FALCON flying over Route 13 from the Stewart Park area toward downtown Ithaca.
