Tim Lenz and I had a nice evening at Montezuma tonight. We walked around Seneca Meadows for a while, but it was pretty hot and we didn't see too much. Lots of Swamp Sparrows and Tree Swallows. Then we went over to Towpath and spent the rest of the evening there. Highlights were an adult ROSS'S GOOSE in a flock of 225 Snow Geese, a nice juvenile LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER in close to the road, a flyover LAPLAND LONGSPUR in a large flock of American Pipits, a chipping and briefly glimpsed ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, 14 Sandhill Cranes, two American White Pelicans, a juvenile Hudsonian Godwit, hundreds of Canada Geese and Northern Pintail, and a few Dunlin and Pectoral Sandpipers. Also an apparent SNOW X CANADA GOOSE HYBRID, a dark-bodied medium-sized goose with an all-white neck and Snow Goose-like face.
