[cayugabirds-l] Hurd Road Barred Owl
While driving westward down Hurd Road towards Ellis Hollow Road, I was surprised to see a Barred Owl up on a tree next to the road, easily identifiable with the naked eye while driving. After I pulled over and exited the car, it flew deeper into the woods, though it perched for some time in a spot barely visible with binoculars (probably impossible to find if I had not tracked its flight), but after I attempted some distant photos it flew even farther, into the cover of an evergreen. Earlier in the morning, the Sapsucker Woods barred owl was still in the pine tree by the shelter, today best seen from the shelter itself, at a spot where it was difficult to see from either branch of the Wilson Trail approaching the junction.

[cayugabirds-l] Winter and Spring
Yesterday at the lot behind Morrison Hall, some of the 40 or so robins that have been hanging out there were singing their Cheerup Cheerio song. It was good to hear. Just now walking the dogs, there are still about 20~ snow buntings in the field across from our house. They are almost impossible to see down in the corn stubble until something like a fly-over red tail puts them up. They have been around at least a month or two, but I hear more than see them.

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
There is a flock of about 75 redpolls currently feeding along the shoulder and in the fruit trees directly across from the Cornell orchard store. I don't know if they will last, but they didn't seemed concerned when I stopped right next to them.
