Dominic posted this to Genesee Birds for us today. Confirming 2 Bonaparte’s. An additional note is that the Main pool flats will be dry shortly but birds are starting to feed in the northern ponds along the thruway. Knox-Marsellus is getting low a little too quick with the mudflat edges already very close to the far dike except at the north end of the pool. Mike Tetlow
