7:00-8:00 AM Aside from one previous report of a calling Am. Bittern for Goetchius, aided by a very flexible boundary, this was the first AM BI sighting within the Goetchius and actually this was in the NY DOT portion of the wetland, that I have heard about.
A female Harrier coursing over the northwestern portions of the Preserve to go along with Marie's earlier report of a male two days ago. I wonder? 5 E. Meadowlarks, including a pair with one carrying a considerable amount of nest material to the ground. 2 Solitary Sandpiper at least 3 Lesser Yellowlegs 2 Greater Yellowlegs at least 5 Common Snipe, including one winnowing courtship flight. Only 2 singing male Savannah Sparrows. ----------------------------- Three Brown Thrasher Friday, two on IC campus and one in front yard. An unusually high number for me. How nice.
