Yesterday, 1/16, 10 hearty people joined me for a birding trip to the Sodus bay area. Our first stop was at the south end of the Sodus Bay. We parked by the Bay Bridge Sport Shop off Rt. 143. The bay was mostly iced over here but there were Mute Swans and juveniles, Trumpeter Swans and

Hi All, I went today to look for the White Pelican. I got there at about 7:15 and left a cold five hours later. Unfortunately, this bird is not eating at all, and I wonder if perhaps the water is too deep there for it to be successful. I noticed that it would follow the cormorants around. I

January is only half over and already several people are in the running for having seen 100 CL Basin birds before the end of the month. Admittedly it’s a silly game, but then it is a great reason to get outside and enjoy the weather! One hundred birds in January is not impossible, but it
