On Tuesday morning, I had three expected but still very uplifting raptor
sightings around northeast Ithaca and south Lansing:
-- a dark-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK foraging over the field at the southwest
corner of Warren and Cherry Roads (thanks to Alberto Lopez for finding this
fine bird);
--
Here in Scipio at the edge of forest above Owasco Lake I also saw and
heard an unusual number (maybe 50 or so) of AMER. ROBINS at dusk in
the trees and along the driveway; when they left they seemed to be
headed north and into a snow squall. Never saw this behavior before in
these
