Off Perry Rd. (east of River Rd., SE of Cuylerville) this morning: a flock of about 35 Snow Buntings, in one of he open farm fields), 40+ American Pipits (in the Seneca Foods dumping field), 7 Killdeer and one Wilson’s Snipe - in the same spot. EBird didn’t like the number of Killdeer or the Snipe, so I report them here. The snipe flew up just in front of me as I walked across the corn stubble, giving its scratchy “krech” call.
In our Geneseo neighborhood, we continue to hear and see a Merlin (sometimes two) almost daily. We’ve had both juncos and white-throated Sparrow around (on the ground) our feeders.
