The TXT lines were burning this morning.The Townsend's Solitaire was initially TXTed by B. VanDoren near the east side of Seneca Lake . Go into Sampson State Park past the toll booths and take the first right (no road signs but reportedly Lake Road) and continue (north) to the green gated end of the park road and turn around. The Solitaire was found repeatedly in a 200 yard semicircle but mostly in the eastern quadrant but lastly in the western quadrant. It would be noted in the tree tops then might move to other tree tops and eventually went out of sight only to appear someplace else shortly. It appeared to be hawking insects. Folks did spot it in the lower parts of trees. Many top notch birders were in the area today. Today was the last day of deer hunting with shotguns and rifles for this year. TXTing may be the death knell of Listing. You have up to the minute info. Listers are dependent upon a kind soul that will move the TXT to a post, like Willie did on GeneseeBirds this morning.
