At 7:35 tonight I pulled up to the field just east of the airport on Snyder Rd.
The minute I got out of my car I started to hear the “peents of at least one
American Woodcock coming from the less snowy areas of the field. During the
twenty minutes I hung around I heard repeated peenting and
On my walk this morning on EIRW it seems that a new flock of migrants has moved
in. When I returned home Larry informed me of seeing a new yard bird--the same
I had spotted on my walk--SONG SPARROWS. (I saw 6 on the bike path--but only 1

I started out from my house by driving along Lansing Sta. and Bill Geo. Rds.
Mostly gulls and Aythas seen on lake. Saw some perky GOLDENEYE males doing
courtship displays!
On Sweazey Rd. near the Cornell Small Fruits Orchard building by the road, I
found a pair of gorgeous BLUEBIRDS exploring
About 500 mixed flock of Common Grackles and Red-wing Blackbirds just
landed in the trees South of my backyard. Quite a number of them are at
my feeders and my neighbor's feeders.

- a male and a female-- and a ROUGHLEGGED HAWK all hunting the same field east
and south of Mcgrane. Several times they were all within
I have had only a couple male RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS feeding on the ground in
front yard, until early this morning when a blizzard of blackbirds landed out
back under the feeders there.
The feeders needed filling, so I ran out and scattered new seed on the ground
and filled the hanging feeders.
I hade two Red-winged Blackbirds, a male and female, at my feeders last week.
In the past, I only saw males. The females came later. Ann

The big flock of RED WINGED BLACKBIRDS continues alternating front and back
yard feeding areas.
Since the birds are quite close to me, I can see a lot of plumage detail among
the RWBLs.
It has been fun looking at the different
