Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant
You had better luck than me, Steve. I did go up for about an hour at 12:30 and did not have a single bird flying — not even a local Red-tail. Small flock of SNOW BUNTINGS and HORNED LARKS at the east end of Mt. Pleasant Rd. and a RAVEN calling somewhere to the west. Overly optimistic I guess! KEN Kenneth V.

From 1030 till 1145 I saw 1 ROBIN. But then things picked up and in the next 45 minutes I had 3 flocks of SNOW GEESE totaling around 250, plus 3 KILLDEER. I was entertained by the local DEER flock, which numbers 17; all but 1 look in good shape after the winter.

[cayugabirds-l] Tame redpoll? Lethargic?
A single female redpoll has been hanging around our feeders (Trumansburg, right in the village). She's comfortable on the ground/snow. Doesn't flee until I get very close, and then doesn't fly very far. I can't tell if she's sassy and unafraid, or if she's ill. Been around for a week or two. Eyes look fine. A.

[cayugabirds-l] Morning EIRW walk to work
Hi all, On the way to work I came upon several species of noisy birds. A pair of Carolina Wrens were goofing around, while the male was trying to sing different songs to show off his vocabulary. Then I came up on a big group of birds which consisted of about 60 to 70 Am. Robins, about 30 Cedar waxwings, did not sift them through for the Bohemians, Blue Jays, Cardinals and House Finches. Several American Robins were singing. A passerby commented there are lots of birds!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] question of the day
While I agree with Pete, some of us... me, at this stage of life and my now-deceased and dear friend Caissa Wilmer... have physical limitations but don't want to give up the joy of birding. About vehicles... I used to have a Subaru Legacy which had good-sized windows, a hatchback for carrying stuff and four-wheel drive. Had to let that car go, but it was a good choice... for me.
