Good evening,
Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend! It was a great weekend to go
birding. I wanted to follow up with what we found during the birding trip at
the Owasco Flats Nature Reserve on Saturday, May 23. Thank you to those that
participated. It certainly was a chilly morning, but we still had some great
birds. See below for complete list in the order we saw or heard within a 3
hour timeframe - 45 total spp:
Great-crested flycatcher (heard)
American crow
Red-eyed vireo
Common yellowthroat
Canada goose
Yellow warbler
Red-winged blackbird
Catbird
Bluejay

While you can bird the OFNR anytime, we won't have any scheduled bird trips now
until the fall. Our next event is a canoe/kayak trip on June 20. Additional
information on that will be forthcoming.
Thank you,
Noelle Rayman
