Re: ADMIN: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Scouting party or wrecking crew?

I would also add a MERLIN flushed a lot of shorebirds out of KM marsh on Friday and that is why the RUFF ended up at Benning. Plus we had a PEREGRINE FALCON today also flushing a lot of birds of which many returned back to their original places. On Sat, Aug 11, 2018 at 7:09 PM Christopher T.
