[cayugabirds-l] large accipiter

Late this afternoon I had a flyover large accipiter over the Old Taughannock Blvd/West Buffalo St intersection. Long tail, flapping its wings and the size of a Red-tail, but not as stocky. The light was fading so I can't be sure of the color - it looked gray. I know we had a No. Goshawk at the Fa

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Buntings

While out for a hike this morning we had a huge flock of Snow Buntings overfly us on Fitzgerald Rd from North to South.
