Hi, all! Deborah just stopped by the Front Desk to say it was the WEST side of the little pond, not the East Side. Thanks! holly

Lynn Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 3:03 PM To: cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Wilson's Snipe by Stewart Park Around 2 pm today I was walking back through the golf course toward the footbridge to Stewart Park. I flushed a bird from the east side of the little pond (which is otherwise completely frozen but has one, small muddy area where the bird had been) that is close to the bridge. The Wilson's snipe landed on the other side of the pond and hunkered down without moving against the snow where I got a clear and long look at him. When I went back to the Stewart Park side of the pond, he went back to the small muddy area. He stayed hunkered down, nearly invisible, by a small pipe in that spot. It would be great if someone else got a chance to check this out. It seems really bizarre to see a snipe now, but I feel quite confident in my identification having gotten such a good look.
