Hello Cayugabirders- If you've ever wanted to take a closer look at some of the sparrows that frequent Tompkins County, stop by the Cornell Lab to check out our newest display of specimens from the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates. The specimen cases in the Visitor Center feature 15 species of sparrows found in Tompkins COunty throughout the year, as well as a selection of Song Sparrows from across the country to show how variable sparrow plumage can be.
Display features Chipping, Swamp, Nelson's, Field, Lincoln's, Vesper, Savannah, Grasshopper, Snow Bunting, Tree, White-crowned , White-throated, Fox, Dark-eyed Junco, and Song (plus one "non-sparrow": the House Sparrow). Hope to see you here! charles.
