Hi all, I braved the snow for a walk about 10:30 this morning up Mt Pleasant Rd, where the highlight (well all I could see through the blizzard, actually) was a flock of 14 Horned Larks foraging on the last remaining patch of ground that wasn't buried in snow! At the feeders, two Fox Sparrows,

Hi all, The corn stubble field just west of the radio tower on Mt Pleasant Rd had a flock of 30-ish Horned Larks foraging among numerous pigeons, crows, and Canada Geese this morning, around 10:15. And closer to the observatory, six Snow Buntings were foraging along the roadside. Marie Marie

12/31 - Just went to go see the Horned Larks. Saw about 25+ flitting between the fields on both sides of the road, near the end of Mt. Pleasant (at the junction to Mineah Road). Nice views of the ones that landed on the road near the car! Lauren DeGennaro Ithaca, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: h

Hi all, The local flock of Horned Larks is currently visible in the corn-stubble field on the south side of Mt Pleasant Road (east end). I estimated around 20 earlier this morning, but I know there are more. Thinking of tomorrows' bird count, I wonder if "a bunch" would be a valid number?? ;-)

Hi all, Friday afternoon around 3:30, I watched a large flock of Horned Larks foraging along the roadside and in a newly harvested cornfield at the eastern end of Mt Pleasant Rd...a rough count turned up 70 but there were more. I tried at first to turn them into Snow Buntings but did not succee

HI all, Forgot to post this earlier, but a flock of 2 dozen or so Horned Larks flushed up from the side of the road at the field that has just had corn harvested, east end of Mt Pleasant Road, about 11 am today. First time I've seen Horned Larks up there for weeks. Marie Marie Read Wildlif

The first courtship and territoriality were obvious this morning on Mt Pleasant, with 2 males singing from the patches of snow-free ground opened up by the mild weather. Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA Phone 607-539-6608 e-mail m...@cornell.

Snowy Mt Pleasant had a flock of about 40 Horned Larks when I was walking up there around 11:00 this morning. It's hard to come back to winter from 2 weeks in hot, humid southern Texas! Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road Freeville NY 13068 USA Phone 607-539-6608 e-mail
