9/10: A SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER was seen flying in the North Spring Pool
area but was not refound. A BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER was seen in the new
shorebird area on the Wildlife Trail. It was kind enough to stick around for
the
Muckrace.
9/11: A YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD was seet near Coot Pond on Howland Island.
2 HUDSONIAN GODWITS were seen at May’s Point Pool. There have been no other
reports from the Muckrace. Otherwise all the Shorebirds reported recently
seemed
to be present for the contestants.

Road.
Onondaga County
------------
9/11: 2 LINCOLN’S SPARROWS were found at Three Rivers WMA.
