This past Saturday, I lead a group of intrepid souls who turned out for a special Cayuga Bird Club birding trip to the Hawthorn Orchard, and for what was destined to be a very cold and wet (and relatively birdless) morning. I think the temperature barely topped 42ยบ while drizzling almost the entire time.
Thanks to the ~20 folks for surviving!!! ;-) Sincerely, Chris T-H Hawthorn Orchard and East Ithaca Rec.
