Late this afternoon I was at Sunset Bay Park on the Lake Ontario shore East of
Oswego watching and photographing about 55 Caspian Terns and I did a
double-take when I saw and immature Brown Pelican floating about one hundred
yards off shore. So I turned my camera on it. I continued to shoot

I saw what looked like a pale Egyptian Goose in the company of two Canada
geese on Salmon Creek mid-way between the RR bridge and the creek mouth at
10:30 through 11:10 this morning. It walked along the banks of the creek
on the Myer's Park side for quite a while.
We've had Moscovy ducks there
This is indirectly related to birds, in that the insects the birds are feeding
upon (such as leafrollers, or Tortricidae moth larvae, which may have irruptive
cycles), may predominantly be found on the leaves of certain species of
hawthorns. If one could identify the species of hawthorns in
Hawthorns are underrated. The one the city planted in front of my home is a
Cockspur, I think. I have planted Washingtons elsewhere on the property. Birds
like them a,l hear round.

Dave...the city maintains an online database and interactive map of its
13,000+ trees. Hopefully this will be helpful in determining your hawthorn
variety (advance apologies. ..it does not seem optimized for mobile devices
so I can't absolutely verify).
