I can't resist sending along this short video of a Carolina Wren, who
taught me a valuable lesson this summer about earbirding with caution!

Great photo opps just now, watching a sharp-shinned hawk devour a
house sparrow under the yew bushes on the east side of Ithaca City
Hall. From the pile of feathers under the bushes, it looks like this
is a prime dining location. My husband Joe saw the same hawk pursuing
sparrows here yesterday.
As far as the Purple Sandpipers go, I did look for them but didn't see any. It
was rather windy rainy so they may have not been out, or I could have missed
them (wasn't sure of where exactly they had been sighted).

Behind (west) Day Hall on the Cornell campus is a handful of Pine Siskins
feeding in the trees. They are the first I've seen here on campus.
