For leaders and participants on this weekend’s Montezuma SFO trip - I scouted several of the traditional hot spots in the Montezuma Complex this afternoon. Shorebird habitat is limited, with Yellowlegs only in Eaton Marsh and Carncross Rd. Eaton had a couple of Dunlin, and the beginning of West Loop Rd had one Pectoral Sandpiper.
The corn field at Carncross Rd is nearly dry, with distant ducks and one Sandhill Crane. I did flush my first (of year) American Bittern at Marten’s Tract. Earlier in the day I drove through the Lott property (Empire Farms Days) just south of Seneca Falls. No Upland Sandpipers, but several Kestrels and Killdeer.
