[cayugabirds-l] Greater White-fronted Goose
Tim Lenz and I just saw the Greater White-fronted Goose with large numbers of Canada Geese swimming off the ice-edge at Stewart Park at 4.30pm.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker/Bomax
Wilson North at Sapsucker Woods had the usual suspectsCEDAR WAXWINGS, AMERICAN TREE/WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, BLUE JAYS imitating the Red-shouldered Hawk, AMERICAN ROBINS, DARK-EYED JUNCOS, etc. The best bird for me was my second GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL (and first since November 2007) at Sapsucker Woods flying over the main pond. A NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was hanging out on Triphammer Rd. just south of Cherry Rd. and another was in the field on Bomax Drive. Other birds on Bomax were AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, HOUSE FINCH, DARK-EYED JUNCO and BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE. I also found a good smattering of tracks in the snow that may correspond to the pack of coyotes I heard howling/yipping from that area last night. A drive behind the Ithaca Airport yielded two RED-TAILED HAWKS and one hawk that disappeared in the glare of the sun before being identified. It was not relocated.

[cayugabirds-l] Eared Grebe
Just returned from the CBC field trip - up the lake as far as Union Springs. I'll try and do a full report later but want to note here that an EARED GREBE was present, not far off the Wells College boathouse, at around 11. There were at least 7 Horned Grebes, but all of them quite distant.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-shouldered,Rough-legged, Sharpie, GHOwl, Buntings
A couple stolen hours away from the office yielded: Great-Horned Owl in her Stewart Park nest hole, Red-shouldered Hawk west of Kip's Barn, screaming from a perch on a utility pole, Rough-legged Hawk and Snow Buntings on Mt. Pleasant, and then a Sharpie posed in a branch over the road, coming back down off the "mountain." And what a nice effect of heavy rime on tree branches and bushes on top of Mt. P.

[cayugabirds-l] Wednesday Aurora Eared Grebe, yes
Sorry for the late post, my email was getting updated. The Eared Grebe was way off the Aurora Boathouse on Wednesday of this week. It was feeding and then was able to totally disappear. I don't know how it does it. I didn't see any Horned Grebes. I spent the darkening hour on Rafferty Rd. , but didn't see any Short-eared Owls only one light Rough-legged Hawk.

FW: [cayugabirds-l] Peregrine sightings so far Friday 1/22
The Peregrine flew onto a ledge to the right of the nw tower of Bradfield Hall at 5:25 Friday evening.

It seem to come only to roost. Hopefully it will nest, though I am not sure how Bradfield building maintenance guys will feel about it! I did see the excited Red-tailed Hawk circling over its future home.
