Peter, On the afternoon of 5 January Ann Mitchell & I saw a flock of about 25 BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS, males & females, on the shoulder of Fenner Rd near NYS-34B, which is in the northwest corner of the Town of Lansing in Tompkins County. They were not present during a couple of more recent visits. They were first-of-year for both of us. I think the cowbirds wander. Several MOURNING DOVES were also on the road shoulder that day, but they flushed separately and did remain in the area. We also saw a few HORNED LARKS elsewhere along Fenner Road that day, and today we saw some just north of Fenner on Davis Rd. --Dave Nutter PS - Apologies to those who found this message redundant. After I first sent it to CayugaBirds-L I realized it was in the form which turns to garbage on some people’s email (including Peter’s!) and on the digests and archives, so I this time it is in a form that I hope is legible all those ways. I’m trying to get in the habit of sending messages to Cayugabirds in this more universally readable way, but sometimes I forget.
