This afternoon, for the first time since last April, we saw an EASTERN
SCREECH-OWL in our box in northeast Ithaca. I feel nearly certain that I've
never seen this particular owl before. It has distinctive arcs on the
margin of each lower eyelid, toward the bill. They look like the black eyes

I remember many years ago seeing an apple tree with frozen fruit with several
Pine Grosbeaks enjoying the fruit. Lovely sight.
By the way, Beaver Lake Nature Center in Baldwinsville had both Long-eared and
Saw-whet Owls today on the Bog Trail.My favorite kind of Christmas present!

immediate area. One $100,000,000 project already has been presented to
the Planning Board, to be located a little further west on Rte 318, and

The CasiNO Tyre web site ( http://www.casinofreetyre.com ) points out the risk

A 2 hour walk/drive around Summerhill this morning produced very little in the
way of birds - until the drive home.
Salt Road in the state forest was especially quiet. No chickadees or juncoes. A

morning, I encountered approx. 100 SNOW BUNTINGS, 22 HORNED LARKS, 11 CEDAR
WAXWINGS, and 2 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS. No longspurs seen, by me anyway. Lots
of CROWS.
