Meet at 7am at the Montezuma NWR Visitor Center (on NYS-5/US-20 east of Seneca
Fall between NYS-89 & NYS-90) or meet us on East Road at the overlook around
7:20am after we caravan over there. As a group led by Bob McGuire and myself,
we will walk down onto the dike surrounding Knox-Marsellus
American Kestrel migration is in progress. There is anecdotal
information that they coincide with dragonfly migration, especially the
Common Green Darner and Black Saddlebags ( Anax junius and Tramea
lacerate; other species migrate as well). With kestrels, not all migrate
but they do disperse. The
A group of 4 or so kestrels busy hunting seen this morning along Mt. Pleasant
Rd (close to the Midline end of Mt. Pleasant). Maybe a pair with fledglings?
Their hover flight lovely to watch in any case.
