We spent Monday afternoon attempting to relocate this birds without success. Will have to be content with Tom's nifty photos. We searched a broad area of likely habitat throughout the area aided by a number of folks from Rochester. We did see as many as 13 Sandhill Cranes and a large number of harriers at the VanDyne Spoor Rd site. (any ideas on how a "spur" became "spoor"?). Also present were a mockingbird and meadowlark. As many as 20 Red-tailed Hawks were sighted during the trip.
In a recent post on Cayugabirds someone referenced a google map with local birding locations. Didn't study the whole thing as it is pretty busy, but names and comments for sites in Schuyler Cty and the FLNF are in error.
