Walking up to Cornell campus today, I was distracted by a din of calling birds near the Cornell Bookstore. Getting closer, I started hearing distinct buzzy calls that made it clear the din was from a fairly large flock of PINE SISKINS in the trees to the E of the campus bookstore, near Day Hall. I had a single bird in this same area yesterday, but today the count was much higher. 25? 50? 100? I did not have time to stop and count, but there were at least a few dozen there from my quick look while walking by (I was late for a meeting).
They may stick around for a bit and be worth a look if you're passing through campus today. Good birding!
