As I exited my car this evening at the Knox-Marsellus overlook at Montezuma NWR, I heard a WHIMBREL calling and moments later it flew up from the marsh. It flew off to the east but eventually circled to the north before dropping into one of the ditches in between the fields of corn across the road and west of the potato building along route 31. Also this evening at Knox-Marsellus were; 4 Sandhill Cranes Semipalmated Plovers Killdeer Both Yellowlegs Spotted Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Least Sandpiper 2 Baird's Sandpipers (both seen from Towpath Road in what I believe used to be referred to as Potter's Marsh, the next pond to the east of Knox-Marsellus) Pectoral Sandpiper Stilt Sandpiper Both Dowitchers 2 Red necked Phalaropes (seen in Knox-Marsellus from Towpath Road. The birds were together) Gary Chapin Victor, NY _______________________________________________ GeneseeBirds-L mailing list - geneseebird...@geneseo.edu http://mail.geneseo.edu/mailman/listinfo/geneseebirds-l -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
