[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Widgeon - Lake Rd, Cayuga, NY
Just found a Eurasian Widgeon in with Redheads and American Widgeon while scoping off Lake Road, at the start of the Cayuga trail, just south of the Town park. Working the edge of the ice. I watched it for about five minutes before it flew about 50 feet north up the lake edge. Photos.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finch; 4 Fox Sparrows; Snow Buntings H.Larks
Just before noon today, a lone female Purple Finch showed up at our feeders among the many House Finch pairs. No male as yet. At Monkey Run South Gin I met Chris Wood who told us about a Fox Sparrow on the railroad bed above his house, so we walked there and found four bright Fox Sparrows foraging in the open on the railroad bed about a half-mile from Monkey Run Rd. Then up on Mt. Pleasant Rd at the East end, I came upon a nice flock of about 40 Snow Buntings feeding on the road, a few males in sharp-looking breeding plumage; also among them were several Horned Larks. More H.Larks were creeping about among the corn-stalks. No Longspurs visible. Back home, with the snow flurries swirling around the feeders, there are four Red-wing Blackbirds and two Common Grackles, along with Song Sparrows, 3 Tree Sparrows and all the other regulars.

[cayugabirds-l] Song Sparrows displaying
This evening I noticed two SONG SPARROWS in our mock orange. One began the wing-fluttering display to the other, and the other promptly responded with its own version of wing fluttering. Time to think about nesting! Come on Spring!!! Larry -- W.

[cayugabirds-l] Seneca Lake Lesser Black-backed Gull,Finger lakes airport Snowy owl,Snow Geese everywhere
An afternoon ride to the north end of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes produced a beautiful breeding plumage Lesser black-backed Gull at Seneca Lake Park along with a first year Iceland Gull. A Snowy Owl was along Martin Road in Seneca Falls on the east side of the Finger Lakes airport. Cayuga Lake was still mostly frozen off of Cayuga Lake Sate Park but everything north of there was full of Redhead and other expected ducks. One dark morph Rough-legged hawk was along route 318 at Black Brook Road. The phenomenon of the afternoon was the huge numbers of Snow Geese everywhere from Macedon to Seneca Falls most between route 21 to the west and 89 to the east; both north and south of the thruway in many corn fields. Several fields had flocks of at least 5000 and at least one had an estimated 1. Along the thruway whenever the sun came out large flocks could be seen against the gray background moving to the west. Another huge flock was along Canandaigua Road north of Macedon Center and another at Yellow-mills and Fox Roads south of Macedon.

[cayugabirds-l] Woodcock on Sapsucker Woods Rd
Today at 3:00 PM I flushed a woodcock from the ditch along Sapsucker Woods Rd, across from where Sanctuary Dr intersects. It flew only about 30 feet from the road before landing on the forest floor. -Mike -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
