I went to Sapsucker Woods today. As I got out of my car I saw a shadow crossing the parking lot and looked up in time to see a departing MERLIN. After I gave up trying to refind it for a more satisfying look, I met Ann Mitchell and Linda Clougherty. We saw the RED-SHOULDERED HAWK west of Kip's Barn. On the Wilson Trail from the small bridge which crosses the outlet stream from the main pond Ann & I saw the HERMIT THRUSH moving surrepticiously in the underbrush on the stream bank. We walked trails in the Ithaca partion of Sapsucker Woods where we heard BROWN CREEPER numerous times, but we saw one only briefly. Ann & I drove around Lansing afterward but the only unusual bird we saw was a dark ROUGH- LEGGED HAWK at the airport. --Dave Nutter
