A quick visit to Montezuma on Saturday, 13 Nov 10, after a brief glimpse of the McGraw Summer Tanager turned only a few interesting birds, although the day was glorious. A flock of 12 SNOW BUNTINGS was foraging in the dark hummocks of Benning Marsh. Know-Marcellus, as viewed from East Road,

A parking lot surprise late this morning. Two SNOW BUNTINGS were hunkering down out of the wind in a gravel section of old driveway/walkway/parking lot, just North of Langmuir Lab (95 Brown Road) in the Cornell Business and Technology Park, across from the Airport area. This is about where the old

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Threat to COOTS at Stewart Park?

On Saturday afternoon between 2 2:30 I was at Stewart Park, some of the time with Ken Rosenberg. We saw 2 carcases in the water fairly far out. One I'm not sure of the ID. The second, definitely a Coot, I didn't notice until a Great Black-backed Gull was working on it and tipped it up to show the

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Threat to COOTS at Stewart Park?

Just to clarify. The dead Coot that Jill and I saw at Stewart Park on the shore by the swan pen had no apparent injuries. I went down to take a look at it. It was intact. There was fishing hook, line and sinker, and float all tangled in a bush there, which I removed. The proximity had made

Yesterday afternoon, near David Haskell Ithaca College Boat Club, Bill Evans, Stuart Krasnoff and I observed a cute looking CHIPPING SPARROW while we were looking for leps and other arthropods. This note is for those late record keepers (I don't mean record keepers are late, but record of late
