[cayugabirds-l] today's field trip onto dikes at K-M, Montezuma NWR

Despite rain for much of the morning I think today's shorebirding field trip to Knox-Marsellus marsh was a success. Thanks particularly to refuge biologist Linda Ziemba for arranging the removal of beaver works which had blocked the outlet and caused water levels to rise the week before there wa
