On a walk up Eastern Heights Rec Way this morning I also spotted
Robins--a flock of between 25-30. They were sitting quite still
munching on left-over black fruit, and appearing as still as the
half-dozen Cedar Waxwings which were also there.
Last week I spotted about 50 Robins on the East
Mt Pleasant hosted a flock of 140+ Cedar Waxwings in the shrubby area just west
of the observatory, feasting on buckthorn berries around 11:15 this morning.
Also a Rough-legged Hawk perched in a tree by the roadside a bit farther east.

A very large gull flock is roosting on the indeterminate ice edge at the
south end of Cayuga Lake right now. I don't have more time, but I was able
to pick out three LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and I'm sure there are more
interesting birds in there. Watch out though, they're not particularly
Also visible from west shore, plus there's another smaller gathering of gulls
closer to the west shore, with about 20 Tundra Swans in various postures of
repose on the thin ice.
