After I watched the Snow geese for a while at Dean’s Cove, then by the road in
Varick, I drove north on Rt. 89 to the Knox Marcellus marsh to look at the
sandhill cranes ( & swans & ducks).
I think there were 3-400 cranes & many of them were calling & flying out of
the marsh , across East Road, & several seemed to land in a corn field just
over the hill to the west.
Just as I was about to leave, a guy in an olive-ish-green Subaru Forester
pulled up to chat, and we talked about the snow geese which he thinks flew out
of the main pool of Montezuma visitors center in the morning & over to the lake.
As he was about to leave, he said, “and don’t forget about the Redheaded
woodpecker over at Cayuga Lake State Park!”
I said that I didn’t know about that bird and he said it was across from one
of the offices & a parking lot of the state park people, and on the lake side
of the road.
I did not have time to go look for it & the sun was setting, so I thought
chances were slim that I could find it, anyway.
