Yesterday morning Scott Haber, Tim Lenz, Nick Sly, and I went around
Cayuga Lake. The weather was nice and the birding was decent, but we
didn't find too much of note. Highlights included a Nelson's-type
Herring Gull on the north spit at Myers Point (possibly the same bird

I can't remember any mention of gobbling yet, but it's been going on
at my place every morning for about a week. I've also heard Ruffed
Grouse drumming.
No Redpolls at my feeders lately, but I do see them overhead
occasionally. About 30 went over this morning.

I've had a SONG SPARROW coming to my feeder here on Boiceville Road
(Brooktondale) for the past week.
I also had one REDPOLL coming to the feeder until I put my thistle feeder back
out yesterday. Word spread among the Redpolls and I counted at least 29 in the
yard today.

I also had a Song Sparrow here at the feeders today - first one since last fall.

Ann Mitchell and Klaus Apel joined me for an all-day, around-the-lake
trip today. I will do a full write-up for the March CBC newsletter.
The highlights follow:

An EASTERN SCREECH-OWL exited the nest box in our yard in northeast Ithaca
at 5:48 PM on Sunday evening. The owl buzzed with rapid wingbeats straight
to a bare willow bough, then perched, completely exposed, for a couple of
minutes. This must have been my first decent look at the back and tail
