Just spent a delightful 45 minutes or so traipsing over the fields in search of the big flock of Snow Buntings that were found by Gladys Birdsall on yesterday's Christmas Bird Count. I found them exactly where she had, way in the back of the field behind the observatory. What fun to photograph!

At Stewart Park this morning Jay McGowan refound the ROSS'S GOOSE, pointed it out to me, and sent out a text alert that it was sleeping on the ice among CANADA GEESE. Moments later, a volley of gunfire at Cornell's Merritt Family Boating Center roused all the geese to standing attention. The

The Eastern Towhee has been seen in our back yard eating millet we spread on the ground most days since we first noticed it. It was definitely there on Dec. 31. Not today, though. I'll watch for it tomorrow. Marsha Kardon On Sun, Jan 1, 2017 at 11:18 PM, Dave Nutter

Did my annual early January trip to Cayuga Lake with my friend Dan Watkins. First stop was the Dandy Mart in Slaterville and we saw the EASTERN SCREECH OWL roosting in the same hole as last year. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33366479 Then we hit Stewart Park but missed the Ross's Goose.
