This is unofficial news from last night's Ithaca CBC compilation. I'll list the species which were reported. Please inform me of errors, as I am still tired. If you observe any species not on the list below within the count circle in on Jan 2, 3, or 4, it can be added to the total as a "count week" bird. If you observe any species not on the list below anywhere in the Cayuga Lake Basin any time in 2012 (and I know some already have been found, such as Snowy Owl, Tundra Swan, and American Wigeon) it can be added to the running total for 2012 for the basin, so also please post. Later I'll report on high counts, who gets credit for unique finds (*), what related info I still seek, and species which may be somewhere in the basin yet to be reported.
