On Saturday, Susie I had brief yard visits from our first-of-year
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and NORTHERN SHRIKE. The latter was a bit
surprising as I had thought they had all gone north. While working, I
watched the sky in the afternoon, but saw only a few locals. Apparently Ken
and Derby Hill
I took advantage of yesterday's calm winds and sunny skies to take my bike
out for the first time in 2010. I opted for my usual birding route behind
the Ithaca airport and over to the Neimi Rd. ponds. I am happy to report
that I saw two AMERICAN KESTRELS along Warren Road. I saw a few RING-NECKED
I had my first Field Sparrow of the year below my feeders and
thoroughly enjoyed watching him for a good long while.

Ann and I found 21 Pectoral Sandpipers on Armitage Rd. I think Bob first
reported some there on Friday. One Sandpiper was clearly different. The only
candidate that seemed to fit is a Baird's Sandpiper. Unfortunately when we

Bob Guthrie and I spent several hours today at Broadway Road, Wayne County
watching the hawks. With the wind it was cold so I'm sorry to say we stayed in
the car most of the time. We might have missed a few hawks this way but we
still enjoyed the show.
