A few minutes ago a flock of 26 TUNDRA SWANS circled over downtown Ithaca, last
seen heading south. Caleb Centanni (whom I just met) and I saw them first from
near the Children’s Garden and then I hustled home to add them to my daily yard
list. I think this is an unusual species for the count, a
Given the open streams and the forecast, the Great Blue Heron I‘m looking at
just now is not going to be needed as a “count week” addition. Confluence of

Today was the first day of COUNT WEEK for the Ithaca Christmas Bird Count,

them on the actual count day.

The “Christmas” Bird Count for the Ithaca area will again be, by long tradition
from Lab founder Arthur Allen, on New Year’s Day. Any species which we miss on
count day but which are observed within the count area during the week of the
count - the 3 days before and the 3 days after - get noted
Barbara Clise just put in an eBird list with photographs of an immature GOLDEN
EAGLE seen today along the southern portion of Scofield Road, well within the
Ithaca Christmas Bird Count circle! https://ebird.org/checklist/S99771454
We had the very first Golden Eagle on the count in 2007, and then
I saw Amelia Otis’ photo from 4 Jan at the Cornell compost piles, and it
definitely looks like a Black Vulture to me. That’s another Count Week species.
Chris Wood saw an Iceland Gull fly over Monkey Run south on 4 Jan. And that’s
one more Count Week species.
There was also an eBird report on
Peregrine Falcon - I stopped by Stevenson Road today to see the Black Vultures
and it flew by landing among the Pheasants for a minute, but didn’t carry any
off!

I was scouting out my Christmas bird count area yesterday, and did a little
birding today. I managed to see a good number of things that are often missed
on the Ithaca CBC, so at least they will be count week. Here is an incomplete
list.

The Ithaca "Christmas" Bird Count will be on New Year's Day as usual, but the three days before and after the count day comprise the count week. Any species found starting Wednesday 29 December through Tuesday 4 January will still count toward our total even if it is missed on count day. So pleas
The ice edge at Stewart Park got piled up by the strong winds yesterday, so
it's hard to see what's swimming close by or resting on the ice, but I saw a
few neat birds during lulls in business today (30 December).

Hi all,
I stopped at the East Shore Park this morning at 8:30. Along with all
the Canadas, C. Mergansers, Redheads, Mallards and Black Ducks was one

probably a domestic/Canada. I will check some references. The gulls I
