[cayugabirds-l] Cornell Siskin Flock

2013-05-15 Thread Christopher Dalton
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!

I had a similar experience on campus yesterday and encountered three
separate large groups: One at Balch Hall on North Campus, one on the Arts
Quad and one at Wee Stinky Glen near the Cornell Store. The third group was
the lowest and spent a lot of time in the small stream at that spot.
