Dominic Sherony and I had a nice Bittern show at the beginning of the wildlife drive plus 1 bonus American on the edge of the new habitat along the thruway. Nice increase in Short-billed Dowitchers(35) and Stilt Sandpipers(8) at Knox. Only 1 Great Egret though! Puddler's has some mudflats already but Towpath is the worst I have ever driven on.
