Susie I saw a flock of at least 20 SNOW BUNTINGS around noon along Carncross Rd, Montezuma. She heard them close by, but it took a while to actually see them walking on the snow among the corn stubble. S. S. Fast Brooktondale _ From: bounce-76451343-9286...@list.cornell.edu

cool. Kevin and I have both spotted banded and tagged herring gulls in Ithaca--they came from Newfoundland! I think I might be able to find the source here..If those are the last two and first digits, then there will be no problem figuring out who banded it. Try googling ring billed gulls
