At 6:45 this morning in the field across from 218 Bundy Road there was one
sandhill crane. It was still there about 10 minutes later when I returned to
the same spot on my walk. I walk in this area frequently, and have never seen
one here before. Marsha Kardon

Quite a bit of birds are still moving overhead tonight. In 30 minutes beginning
at 11:30, I counted 44 Swainson's Thrushees and 6 Gray-Cheekd Thrushrs over my
hose in Northeast Ithaca.
