Cayugabirds,
As others have mentioned, The Big Year opens tonight and a group of us are
heading out this afternoon for an early showing. I am forwarding a message
from Hugh Powell (below). He will be writing a review for the CLO Round
Robin blog and is looking for impressions and reactions from
Cayugabirds,
I put together a few clips of the Sapsucker Woods Gray-cheeked Thrush and
posted them to Vimeo.
