Hi Gary et al., I have watched some gulls purposely sliding over the ice and enjoying the slide to do it over and over again and some are afraid of sliding over the ice. I also have videos of Sandhill cranes sliding cautiously over the ice, testing every step to make sure they don't slide too far. If they slid a little longer distance they were terrified.
Today I walked to work and lots of birds were singing. Carolina wren, Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, BC Chickadees, White-throated Sparrow, House Finches, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy woodpecker and Blue Jay! I also heard some American tree Sparrows and saw a roosting Red-tailed Hawk in my neighbor's yard. And a Mockingbird was perched atop a tree in its usual location at horse barn on Route 366.

It made me wonder if Kevin McGowan had witnessed similar winter sports action in North America. ;) Gary -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
