[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Lake Trail

I got my first-of-the-year usual walk along the Dryden Lake Trail this morning.  Found 40 species, which is pretty good for this time of year, and included 15 types of waterfowl (listed below). The Trail is mostly soft with some icy spots which can be avoided.  Lake is still ice-covered with

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Cranes

The description of where you saw these cranes is consistent with sightings over the years. If these birds are returning to an old, familiar nesting site, I may be able to pinpoint the location for all who are interested and don’t want to drive all the way up to the Montezuma complex to see
