2012-11-23 Thread Belinda Boone
Hello Birders: I am making an impromptu trip to Geneseo/Piffard NY this weekend. Any suggestions for good birding areas along the Finger Lakes or Letchworth State Park this time of year? And are there any unusual sitings I should look out for? I'm still kind of a newbie birder. :-) Thanks

Nice day, started with finding the Virginia's Warbler right away at about 7:30am and then re-finding him so others could see him. Then went to Jones and saw both Crossbills and 4 Pipits. Then stopped at Jamaica Bay saw the new inlet and found a Marsh Wren but not much else. Jim Clinton --
