In the past couple of weeks the number of Common White-throated Sparrows has declined precipitously. No sign of Grey Catbirds. House Sparrows now rule. The flower beds have been cleared and the daffodil stalks are just days away from bursting. A lone European Starling struts around the bird

Definitely a major range expansion surge by this species. Wow. Except for concern for the probable causes, I find this fascinating to witness. And there are other species on the move, but not quite as dramatic as the Black Vulture. Stay tuned! Rich Guthrie New Baltimore The Greene County New

Interesting – we had 8 on our Chemung Valley Audubon field trip last Saturday, beating our County’s previous high of 2. Something must be up with Black Vultures this winter-spring. -- Bill Ostrander From: bounce-121290860-56188...@list.cornell.edu
