Interesting morning as we had a partially leucistic Song Sparrow, a Gray Ghost and the return of a Phoebe. The latter has an avg arrival date of April 1st per our 37 year norm here in the SW corner of the CLB.
Further away in Watkins Glen, Sandhill Cranes (nesters in Queen Catherine Marsh the last 5 years) arrived two weeks ago and the Bald Eagle pair has moved their nest site to the opposite bank (most likely due to increased activity at the new sewer plant).
