Hello Cayugabirders,
The local Christmas Bird Count is coming up: January 1st 2019. I am Area
Coordinator for Area III which includes much of Dryden including Hammond Hill
and Yellow Barn Forests and I need a few more counters to have complete
coverage of the area. I currently have no-one covering the Village of Dryden
and environs, so I'd be delighted to have some help.
There are two main areas to cover:
1. The southern side of Dryden, including the village south of Rt 13, Kimberley
Drive, Keith Lane, plus lower Beam Hill Road and other roads on the west of Rt
38. Note that the area includes only the very western tip of Dryden Lake but
does NOT include the section of the Dryden Lake Trail ("Jim Schug trail")
southward along the lake. However it DOES include the section of the Jim Schug
Trail that starts at Keith Lane and goes northward toward the village. This
trail is likely to be snow-free and is a great spot for American Tree Sparrows
and other species.
2. The northern side of Dryden, including the village north of Rt 13, George
Rd, Schoolhouse Road, and roads northward to Fall Creek Rd in Freeville. A bit
more driving than walking in this route but good for open country birds,
waterfowl, raptors.
If you want to join in the fun, please let me know ASAP so I can add you to the
roster and give you more details.
Thanks
And Happy New Year Birding!
