Frank (29X) was with 7 other Great Egrets close together near the observation tower at Tschache Pool in Montezuma NWR this afternoon about 2:15pm, the only egrets my party saw in our quick tour of the refuge. Only 1 of the egrets, not Frank, was actively foraging. The temperature was in the low

[cayugabirds-l] Osprey egg laying

[cayugabirds-l] Migration -- but outside Cayuga Basin

[cayugabirds-l] Veery?

I think I saw a Veery in my backyard this morning. Is that likely? It looks like the furthest North that ebird reports for now is South Carolina. But it really looked like a Veery. Carol Cedarholm -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME
