Yesterday I found this mostly consumed corpse in the ditch very close to
our house on South Hill. I can guess at an identification but I am sure the
group will know. I saw crow or raven tracks around it in the snow but
could it have been a car strike or a larger hawk?
Also, would the Lab
Thanks for sharing this, Ken. Good sightings, Chris. But let's not forget the
importance of counting all of those boring Chickadees and Juncos and the
dedicated counters who contribute! Someone has to do it!

Thanks Kevin for this important clarification that will lift the spirits of
participants who trudged many hours on a snowy, blowy day.
Thanks to all of you who spent the last day of holidays counting birds
together. It is quite an amazing group effort and quite a wonderful bonding
experience.
I have tried two different days to see the Red morph screech owl, but it was
not there or was sleeping out of sight; Given the cold weather,I wouldn't
wonder that it would be down inside, out of the wind!

I agree with Kevin and Donna...and especially so since my first Mt Pleasant
bird on Jan 1st was a decidedly not-commonplace Common Raven!!
All our counters are important.

clear on the size being correct for Coopers, the glove shows its fairly

I am sure Ken did not mean to dismiss the efforts of the regular counters on
New Year's Day. Email can be too terse quick, sometimes, may not say quite
what we want it to.
Chris's sightings WERE pretty neat to read about.

I just talked with the manufacturer of Garden Treasure bird seed distributed by
Lowes.
The highlights for me were: Pretty much all Thistle feed comes from Myanmar,
Ethiopia, or India.
There is a trade embargo against Myanmar now so current seed comes from
Ethiopia or India.

John, you are right, I didn't look at the feet closely enough. So, would
this bird have been hit in the air nearby and eaten here, or attacked down
near Treman Lake nearby and carried over here? Or left elsewhere and
carried by a fox or coyotes? guess we will never know. Thanks for the help

Park in Ithaca. It was actively moving and hover-gleaning around the bare
trees right by the parking lot.

seem too special to me. Are there sufficient numbers of wood ducks to

That's a Wood Duck. Note the yellowish, webbed feet, the shiny patch on the
top of the wing with a small white line on the feathers below it, the tuft of

flank feather. Nothing else has those. Looks like it had

Dave,
I guess you have to prove that it was alive in 2013. So need to do accurate

Quite a few birders spend part of the count day dutifully covering their territory, and another part poaching on other territories. That's what I did, but I spent so much time on my own area that it was getting dark by the time I got to the lake. I wasn't able to find as much as I hoped, but I did

Two things:
1. If I had a hot tub that's where I would be owling !
2. I was shoveling snow off the roof during the CBC so I didn't get a chance to
poach anyone's area unfortunately, but I did get a yard/ feeder list for the
day. I tried calling it into the Lab from 5-6PM but nobody was taking
The other issue I’ve been wondering about is counts of migrating birds crossing

Probably you can just send it straight to Kevin.
