Re: [cayugabirds-l] Lansing, Storm Rd. / Holden Rd intersection field birds

2021-02-12 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
I saw over 30 S Buntings & 20 H Larks down by the heifer barns & tenant houses 
towards south end of Holden rd. Tuesday afternoon.
At one point I saw the flock of buntings on a pile of old bedding in a farm 
wagon, well off Brown Hill Rd. Which runs along south side of all the farm 
buildings.
Also 100s of Starlings & a few pigeons.

I know the farm owners & think I might ask permission to walk around close to 
buildings.

for about 0.1 mi. The best viewing is from Storm Rd.

I was here yesterday and didn’t see much, but the spread was new. Today it is a 
larger area. There are Horned Larks, Snow Buntings and I’ve saw one Lapland 
Longspur, before the tractor stirred thing up. I suspect it will get better as 
the day goes on.

Hi everyone,

  I was there at Holden Rd and Storm Rd earlier this morning and saw a nice 
sized (45) mixed flock of snow buntings and horned larks 
https://ebird.org/checklist/S80939956. I wasn't able to pick out any longspurs 
(kudos to you, Gary!), but the flock was hanging out in the middle of Storm Rd 
as well as flying over fields east and west of the road and should make for 
good viewing.

 Cheers,

 Kevin

I haven’t found many good areas for field birds this winter in Tompkins Co. 
Indian Field Rd. road shoulders have been OK, but the road is very busy making 
viewing difficult.

Storm Road / Holden Rd. intersection area, in Lansing, is the best so far. The 
nearby farm is spreading manure / bedding on the snow parallel to Holden Rd. 
for about 0.1 mi. The best viewing is from Storm Rd.

I was here yesterday and didn’t see much, but the spread was new. Today it is a
