[cayugabirds-l] Pipits aplenty on Hile School Rd
Without my binocs while walking the dog in rain—but suddenly the harvested and manured field NE of my drive (147) erupted in pipits. Coming from old cornfield to eat if this field, I clearly saw ca 200 slender, mostly cryptic, light bellies and longish tails with white outer feathers coming up in quick flying sub-flocks that then resettled farther west in the field. Sun flocks gave me a way to count roughly. May have been a few sparrows near field margins as well and definitely a small flock of redwings next to the west hedgerow being strafed by what I assume was a sharp shinned hawk. Not a lot larger than they and they did not leave the area despite its swoops. Unfortunately they were a good distance away and, as mentioned, no binocs (rain, dog on lead). So sharpie is my best ID.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits in Hanshaw fields
About an hour ago I parked at Freese Rd Community Gardens and walked along the Monkey Run rim trail until it comes out on the back of some of the Hanshaw Rd fields to the east of Freese Rd (at most 1/4 mile). Not far from the treeline were around 30 well-camouflaged and very active AMERICAN PIPITS foraging amid recently sown cover crop.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits, lots of them,’Hile School rd
Just put in eBird which didnt believe my estimated number of 80. I think actually there were initially more 45 min earlier than my count- by- 10s at 1800 EDT. Unmistakable long legged sparrow streaked birds with flashing outer tail feathers. It was hard to keep an eye on all the sub-flocks each time they settled. Anyway first I have seen this year. Last Friday there were still 4 horned larks but none today.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Myers
At least 14, possibly 25 pipits were at Myers, flew towards Salt Point. Very windy. A couple were still on the salmon creek island with robins. Also bluebird, kingfisher, flickers, many grackles at the FL marina.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt
At least 3, maybe 5, American Pipits foraging invisibly on the beach on the north side of Salt Point (flushed there by me from closer to the point). Still struggling to photograph them.

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt + others; Ravens
I met Suan at Salt Point after his Pipit post below. He said there were 7 AMERICAN PIPITS according to his heat sensing device/screen, and that they are very hard to see against the dull colored lake-bed rocks on the shore edge. I later saw one on the north side near the point. Never found the others. Then I saw 7 EASTERN BLUEBIRDS which landed near and on a small frozen pond on the north shore lake bed of Salt Point. Neat to see a lovely bright male Bluebird standing on the snow-covered ice! Also saw N. CARDINAL, RED BELLIED WOODPECKER, 3 BLUE JAYS, 4 E. STARLINGS, 4 A. CROWS, and several RING BILLED BULLS, along with a group of intrepid, scope-lugging birders across Salmon Creek near the point of Myers Park. Later on Asbury Road near the end of Collins Rd. I saw 2 COMMON RAVENS fooling around way out in a large farm field. One was doing that amusing hopping, following after the other as it walked away.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Pipits @ Salt Pt
I posted some photos of today's pipits, including the infrared image, on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suan.yong/posts/10208622363774511 If you can't see the IR image, I posted it here too: https://flic.kr/p/CrsRQa I did eventually see all seven fly together a short distance.

[cayugabirds-l] pipits, Enfield
This afternoon as I returned from a taxi run to the western suburbs of Perry City I happened upon a flock of scores of AMERICAN PIPITS in the westernmost block of Aiken Rd in Enfield. Of course I noted what sort of field attracted them: newly cut hay on the first of November. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --

[cayugabirds-l] Pipits
Daughter, Becky I saw a flock of 20 or so AMERICAN PIPITS in a farm field on Fitzpatrick Rd. between Union Springs Auburn yesterday. Also saw both adult Bald Eagles sitting in trees at Mud Lock ... and both adults at the Refuge near the Visitor's Center. The Osprey is sitting on 3 eggs on the North Spring Pool platform along Rte. 89. High water has flooded some Canada goose nests maybe the Trumpeter nest. Ponds are now lakes. Becky, Kathy Strickland I truly appreciated the fantastic Harpy Eagle presentation at the lab last night. Thanks to whomever arranged for it.
