New arrivals today were Willow and Alder Flycatcher. Also banded three Pine Siskins. Looks like they may hang around to nest again this year; weve had at least four consistently through winter/spring.
Sandhill Cranes may be nesting in Queen Catharine Marsh, Schuyler Cty. Two were foraging a couple of weeks ago and one was sighted foraging in the same area yesterday. The dirt road that runs north/south on the east of the IBA/BCA marsh is called Rock Cabin Rd and at about the middle is an observation platform; the cranes have been seen (conveniently) in that area.
