Re: [cayugabirds-l] South End gulls
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.

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 visible from Stewart Park and East Shore Park has not been plowed. I scanned from the pullout across from East Shore. Light is great right now with high overcast and no heat shimmer.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant birds
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.

[cayugabirds-l] robins
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 Hill Rec Way. -- Sara Jane -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Robins
Don't let this latest winter wallop get you down. 14 AMERICAN ROBINS in my old maple tree this morning say that spring is really coming soon. Marla -- Marla L.
