RE: [cayugabirds-l] Rough-legged downtown!

Is it possible they have a memory of when this land was theirs? 

I've seen them in the corresponding areas in Watkins Glen: marshlands and 
inlet, which in Ithaca now belongs to Walmart et al. 

(It's how I imagine the -now extinct?- Clay-colored sparrow at Cornell's 
Goldwin Smith hall: They came back until recently, nesting there because they 
were remembering this place as their place since olden times. Then finally, 
they failed all the way, died and disappeared).

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Rough-legged downtown!

Walking along busy Meadow St by the Mobil (State St), I just saw two buteos 
circling and moving slowly towards NE. Without binoculars one was too high to 
ID but the other was low and showed the dark wrist of a rough legged, and was 
soaring with a slight dihedral. Looked smaller than a redtail, no obvious red 
tail.

Certainly not the expected habitat!
