[cayugabirds-l] Snow Bunting Myers

[John Bowdoin Greenly]

There’s a Snow Bunting,  I believe a first-winter female, on the spit at Myers 
at 4 pm.  
Foraging along the creek shore just outside the last tree as you go out to the 
point.

[cayugabirds-l] snow bunting, raptor kettle, Lansing hilltop highlights, chemtrails

[Sandy]

Hi Marie,
Thanks for the post on the snow bunting because today I thought I caught
one in the corner of my eye while driving at 40mph on Triphammer. It was
perched on a telephone wire up in Lansing. I know they are usually in large
flocks foraging in farm fields, but this one had a cheek mark that made me
think snow bunting. Soon thereafter, I parked off the side of a nearby road
where I heard high pitched peeps in a farm field on Burdick Hill Road.  So
exciting!  Plus large kettles of raptors could be seen rising in thermals
and soaring southbound down the Cayuga Valley! (I saw them two days ago as
well from Caroline hilltop.) I estimate over 50 in one thermal today around
3pm.  I could not make out which raptors. I also saw flocks of what
appeared to be cormorants, some waterfowl, and passerines. I also saw two
ravens, one on a telephone wire, one foraging on the ground. Then looping
back, I saw a Turkey Vulture perched on a regular house rooftop looking
down into Cayuga Lake.  The raptors were too far away for me to confirm
identification.

Lastly, is anyone aware of, concerned, or keeping an eye on the skies for
chemtrails (not to be confused with contrails)? Please write to me
privately if you are. Thanks.

Mid afternoon here and we had two high Vs of Snow Geese going south and one low 
altitude line of Brant heading East to West (Cayuga to Seneca?). Have seen 
southbound loons follow that profile at times.

Hoping the front induced owls to move tonight. Out 15th year of saw-whets and 
it has been the latest and slowest!

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Bunting?

[Paul]

I was on van Dyne Spoor Road today  about 1 pm when I saw a mostly white bird 
perched among about 1/2 dozen Redwing Blackbirds.  It was on a dead snag to the 
south of the sixth telephone pole after the woods.  Put my binoculars on it 
from and could see it was only slightly smaller than the RWBB, had black on the 
back leading down along the wing.  Otherwise, the bird was a slightly dull 
white. Could not get a read on the beak.  I  suspect that it was a Snow 
Bunting, but I am wary of that because of the date.  Seems early.  Does anyone 
have access to records to address whether Snow Bunting could be down here this 
early?  Any other ideas on what it might be?

I was setting up my tripod and camera for photo when one of the Montezuma NWR 
vehicles rolled past, spooking the birds.  Remained for 1/2 hour looking for 
the bird again, but did not see it. 

Sure would like someone else to confirm this. 

Paul Schmitt

An albino blackbird would be far more likely.
