6/2 - Finally had a chance to visit Montezuma Wildlife Refuge this morning, although the weather was rather windy, cloudy, and rainy. Saw 4 Northern Shovelers near the Eaton Marsh Photoblind area. Also saw a spotted sandpiper and a bald eagle, among other species.
Full checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S30048883 Also visited the Seneca Falls Wetlands Preserve and noticed what I believe to be a Blue-winged Teal; however, the duck had a pale yellow rather than pure white band near its beak, and it was with 3 Mallards.
