A few minutes ago a flock of 26 TUNDRA SWANS circled over downtown Ithaca, last
seen heading south. Caleb Centanni (whom I just met) and I saw them first from
near the Children’s Garden and then I hustled home to add them to my daily yard
list. I think this is an unusual species for the count,
After estimating 450 Tundra Swans and 8 Trumpeters at Armitage we went to
East Road at 4:20. Two very large flocks of Sandhills all got up from the corn

as I know the minimum of 490 that I counted on 12/8 is the
We had a nice flock of about 350 cranes fly over us on our Friday survey on
the Tschache Pool dike. They semed to be coming from Armitage Rd. way.
We could hear the high-pitched vocalizations of the colts. Only other

On Thursday the 28th, while looking for short eared owls on Dean Rd in Lodi,
Seneca County, a flock of snow geese flew over, mostly hidden by the
low-hanging clouds. They were heading south, but circled back north before
going out of ear shot. Merlin indicated that in addition to snow geese,
Leigh and I and two visiting birders had a birdy morning around sapsucker
woods, with a ruby-crowned kinglet showing off its red crown, first seen by the
Charlie Harper bench and working its way into the woods. That same corner stand

Late this morning from my home near the south end of Cass Park I scoped 2 large

junco, pileated, tree sparrow. We missed the flicker and Red
