Good morning! As the crops are being harvested, I’m seeing Sandhill Cranes and other waterfowl showing up in more and more places around the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, in addition to the Refuge or DEC lands. The birds certainly don’t care about boundaries on a map or who owns what! My commute to the Audubon Center brings me north on Gravel Road and along Armitage Road each day, and the birding has been great the last few mornings! Cranes in several ag fields, lots of waterfowl (swans, geese, geese), and an eagle.
