Re:[cayugabirds-l] Winter birds in the Southern Tier
Doug Beattie of Bethany NY and I had a perfect weather day (temperatures in the low teens, howlingwinds and drifting snow) for winter birds 2/8/11. On Rose Hill Road, Town of Fremont, Steuben County we saw a flock of 6 Horned Larks and 6 Snow Buntings. At another spot on Rose Hill Road we saw 16 Snow Buntings and 14 Horned Larks. At 7052 Smith Rd, Town of Howard, Steuben County we noted 5 yard feeders and saw 15-20 Common Redpolls,about 10 American Tree Sparrows, a few each of Dark-eyed Juncos, House Finches, American Goldfinches, Black-capped Chickadees, House Sparrows , and 1 Blue Jay,and 1 Downy Woodpecker. On Palmer Rd, Town of Howard, Steuben County we saw 12 Horned Larks. On Pre-Emption Road, Town of Barrington, Yates County we saw 20 Snow Buntings. At the intersection of I- 86/ I- 390 we saw 3 Canada Geese flying high overhead heading north. We saw a high flying fast moving hawk momentarily but were not able to identify it. It was the only hawk we saw for the entire day.We saw mostly large flocks of crows at manure spreads but smaller flocks also and some isolated crows. There were some Starlings and Pigeons about. We saw a single Robin. What a refreshing day.

[cayugabirds-l] Myers Tundra Swans
I made a brief and very chilly stop at Myers around 10 this morning, finding nothing unexpected at first. The surprise was 53 TUNDRA SWANS loafing and feeding to the west of Ladoga, as well as 3 in the private marina. There were 6 Canvasbacks just off Ladoga as well, which flew farther out into the lake as soon as I got out of my car.

[cayugabirds-l] Lansing birds
I just started getting e-mails today. Yesterday, I saw a flock of ten Snow Geese fly over Lansing. I was eating lunch in my car today and a Raven flew over. A crow was chasing him. I got out of my car, and heard him cawing. He landed briefly on a telephone pole, and then flew off.
