[cayugabirds-l] Nuthatch/sapsucker
While walking around outside the house in my patch here for GBBC, I found ‘my’ Red-breasted Nuthatch near the front yard. It was going in & out of last summer’s hanging oriole nest & tooting the whole time! Then it visited the feeder & snagged a peanut. Just after this, I found a juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in the trees over a little stream! At the back deck after I came inside to warm up, I saw that 1 of ‘my’ 2 Carolina Wrens had discovered the mealworms I just put out in a small hanging tray used for jelly in summer! And the 44 Mourning Doves obligingly showed up, so the GBBC is off to a good start.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lansing, Storm Rd. / Holden Rd intersection field birds
I saw over 30 S Buntings & 20 H Larks down by the heifer barns & tenant houses towards south end of Holden rd. Tuesday afternoon. At one point I saw the flock of buntings on a pile of old bedding in a farm wagon, well off Brown Hill Rd. Which runs along south side of all the farm buildings. Also 100s of Starlings & a few pigeons. I know the farm owners & think I might ask permission to walk around close to buildings.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Lansing, Storm Rd. / Holden Rd intersection field birds
Hi everyone, I was there at Holden Rd and Storm Rd earlier this morning and saw a nice sized (45) mixed flock of snow buntings and horned larks https://ebird.org/checklist/S80939956. I wasn't able to pick out any longspurs (kudos to you, Gary!), but the flock was hanging out in the middle of Storm Rd as well as flying over fields east and west of the road and should make for good viewing.
