Once again, at least three CACKLING GEESE in the goose flock at the east
end of Stewart Park.

Bob McGuire just called me to report a flock of 40 COMMON REDPOLLS (but no Hoary Redpolls) in the birches in the triangle of land between North Triphammer Road, Hillcrest Road, and Triphammer Terrace in the Town of Lansing. He thinks they may be there awhile.--Dave Nutter

I'm linking to some photos of an interesting 1st-year gull. The bird was
substantially smaller than Herring and slightly larger than Ring-billed in
direct comparison. Other features are a very rounded head with eye seemingly
right in the middle, and a tiny bill. Tertials dark-centered and
They were there a while till 3.00 PM at least! Could be there longer! Lots of
seeds to eat.

We are seeing lots of redpolls down here in the southern tier too.
It is interesting how first it was waves of siskins, then evening grosbeaks and
crossbills
and now redpolls! what's next? pine grosbeaks...

To continue my string of late-lingering December birds, the RUBY-CROWNED
KINGLET is hanging in there for another week at the swan pen at Stewart Park. I
also saw at least 3 CACKLING GEESE among the 1000+ CANADAs -- these may have
been different from Jay's birds this morning, as mine were all
