Wow!  We have 2 white-throated sparrows but 14 purple finches! And still loads 
of juncos.
Hunt Hill Road, east of Ithaca.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Towhee

2011-12-18 Thread Linda Orkin
It is rare but not totally unheard of.  There are some Nov. Dec and Jan
ebird reports for them And yes, Towhees are in the sparrow family, so feed
on the ground.  This is cool, do you have any idea if you are in the count
circle for the Christmas Bird Count. You can check that out on our bird
club website, cayugabirdclub.org.  This would be a great bird to count for
this year (on Jan.1)

Enjoy

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Towhee

2011-12-18 Thread Kevin J. McGowan
Eastern Towhee is indeed an unusual bird around here at this time of the year. 
It has been recorded on the Ithaca Christmas Count 17 of the last 48 years.  
Rarely do we ever record more than one, although last year we had two.  High 
count was six in 1982.

Kevin
