Amid the blustery winter weather we are having, I've seen a few interesting winter birds at our school just east of Cambridge Springs on Rt. 408. Yesterday morning, a beautiful light-morph Rough-legged Hawk floated over the fields. It is one of my favorite winter birds to find locally, and it's striking dark and light markings seem to blend so well with the beautiful snow-covered landscape. Also a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is braving the winter by our bird feeder. He has visited the suet feeder every day for a week now. Enjoy winter birding while it is here!
