For three days in a row there has been a dark Rough-legged Hawk hanging out in the 1200 block of Coddington Rd near Brooktondale. This is the spot with the most spectacular views on Coddington, you can see Cayuga Lake in one direction and a broad sweep of the Six Mile Creek watershed in the others. There are a few isolated trees in the big snow covered fields beside the road, and the bird spends its time perched in the top of them or diving talons-first into the snow. Quite a gorgeous bird.
