[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Avocets, Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes. Clay Snowy Owl still
This evening the 2 American Avocets were on Knox-Marsellus marsh along with 6 Snow Geese that rested awhile then flew off to the south. Finally some companions for this summer's loner. 3 Greater Yellowlegs were the only other shorebirds way back in Puddler's. We could see 6 Sandhill Cranes back there from east road. Another dozen were in the harvested corn field on the south side of route 89 just west, uphill from the route 31 junction. Speaking of route 31; the Snowy Owl is still hanging around the Walmart/Target/Home Depot Plaza on route 31 in Liverpool/Clay. This evening just east of Walmart.

[cayugabirds-l] Freese Road gardens and Sapsucker Woods, Sat 10/11
On Saturday morning, eight birders joined me for a visit to the Cornell community garden plots along Freese Road. We turned up an excellent variety of sparrows, including at least 30 SONG SPARROWS, two or three SWAMP SPARROWS, several SAVANNAH SPARROWS, a few FIELD SPARROWS, one CHIPPING SPARROW, multiple adult and first-winter WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, several WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, and one female HOUSE SPARROW. We also turned up one western PALM WARBLER, a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and a corpulent deceased Short-tailed Shrew. Alas, despite our high hopes and keen attention, we found no Lincoln's Sparrow. (I've seen this species only once here in about seven visits this fall.) Last night I heard a lot of southbound thrushes passing overhead in the dark, so I sought and got some takers for a little bonus run to Sapsucker Woods. We found an interesting loose assemblage of seasonal birds at the gate to the East Trail - a HERMIT THRUSH, one or two BLUE-HEADED VIREOS, several GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, more Yellow-rumped Warblers, and at least one other warbler that I didn't see. That last bird seems like a good candidate for Pine Warbler based on location and other people's descriptions. Thanks to all for a fine morning!

While working in the yard yesterday, and wearing a bright red baseball cap, a HUMMINGBIRD buzzed by. That's all I can tell you, but be alert as the coming week will be warm.
