Hi all,
Another interesting day at the loon watch conducted at Taughannock Falls SP.
The first wave was strong and was accountable for nearly all 568 loons heading
south during the two hour period. As with yesterday, large numbers started
returning north 30min or so into the count - probably du
I made a spur of the moment drive this afternoon to Summerhill hoping
to see something new. The trees were wintery looking with about an inch of new

lead to a hot tip of 17 EVENING GROSBEAKS at 1270 Lake Como
Thanks Paul.

This afternoon I went for a stroll around the Park Preserve. There were a fair
number of birds around, highlighted by a flock of 12 COMMON REDPOLLs flying
overhead calling. I also had a single flyover finch, which was likely a
White-winged Crossbill but I didn't see it well and it never called.
Hi all,
A few minutes ago I was looking out into the yard from my computer room and was
watching a pair of juncos checking out something from the ground, when a
red-bellied landed on a hawthorn branch some 8 feet away from me. I was pleased
to see him, but he kept his face hidden behind the bra

This morning I have noted several STARLINGS, several male RED-WINGED
BLACKBIRDS, and 1 male GRACKLE at our feeders. The big surprise has been a
flock of 40-50 BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS and RUSTY BLACKBIRDS (about half and
half). I first noticed them under a small apple tree at the back of the
yard; t
