At the favored location of the corner of Mahaney and Genoa/Lansing Town Line Rds earlier this afternoon, friends and I enjoyed "snowstorms" of swooping, banking and ground-feeding SNOW BUNTINGS. There were hundreds of them traveling around to their choice spots on the farm. There was also an abundance of HORNED LARKS. We remained in the car using our binoculars (no scope), but even "naked eye" viewing in the winter sunlight yielded stunning aerial antics and bright contrasts of color in the Buntings themselves as well as the contrast of white birds on dark manure spreads.
At Myers Private Marina we watched several male MALLARDS displaying for the females. -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
