I've had a flock of around 40 redpolls at our feeders for the last week, but this morning was different. I glanced out after light and there were 300+ redpolls at and below the feeders. The birds brought to mind an active bee hive in mid-summer, very cool. Searching through the flock, I found

A bit of birding along the lower east side of Cayuga Lake with Brad Walker and Jacob Drucker this morning didn't produce anything too incredible, but a few highlights, and lots of year birds for me. An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was on the ice at Stewart Park, and a RED-NECKED GREBE was still
