At dawn this morning (Sunday 11 March) I followed up on Chris Wood's report of a Yellow-headed Blackbird at the Hog Hole, part of Treman Marine State Park by the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake. It was one of thousands of Icterids he and Jessie Barry had seen Saturday evening, and on the off
Susie I stopped by the FLLT's Goetchius Preserve (Flatiron Rd., Caroline)
late this afternoon. Bulldozers have been busy creating 2 new ponds in the
former large field.
We plan to go back this evening looking for woodcock and snipe. Boots
recommended if you plan to walk from the parking lot
Yesterday afternoon we saw an adult Northern Shrike in a tree near the gate at
Tschache Pool, and a light morph Rough-legged Hawk in the fields on Route 89
south of Goose Haven.
Today we saw the Van Dyne Spoor Northern Shrike, but not the one at Tschache.
Also saw and heard Killdeer and
Mid-afternoon today (Sun.) at Lindsay-Parsons Preserve I saw 12 Ring-necked
Ducks (8m, 4f); 5 female Red-breasted Mergansers; 8 Hooded Mergansers (4m,
4f); 15 Canada Geese; 6 American Tree Sparrow; and a Pileated Woodpecker.
Also about 8 pet dogs, that made the waterfowl skittish.
