I received this today because I am a member of Friends of MWC. Figured other birders would like to be updated. Returning from Dryden this afternoon I saw an eagle on the Aurora, NY nest & one in an adjacent tree. Didn't have my scope so couldn't check on the Great Gully farm nest in the tree along the lake shore. In a field on the west side of Rte. 326 across from Sevior Rd. between Union Springs & Half Acre I saw several thousand Snow geese on the ground & swirling in the air.
Fritzie, Union Springs, NY where gas is $2.25.9 Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2015 21:02:06 +0000 Reply-To: Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex <friendsofmontez...@gmail.com> Montezuma Wildlife Drive is open. (Do Not Reply to this email. See Contact info below.) The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Drive is scheduled to open today, April 1. The Drive will accommodate 2-WAY TRAFFIC up to the Benning Marsh area, until road conditions improve to allow for safe passage down the rest of the route. The Mail Pool has small pockets of open water where some ducks are gathering. Bald eagles have been busy, as well; a look from the visitor center tower may get you a glimpse. Mud Lock remains a great place to spot the eagles at their nest and to see a number of ducks, geese and swans. Please follow State Route 90 to the Lock, rather than passing on River Road. Visit East Road, off of State Route 89, to view Knox-Marsellus Marsh (a scope is handy). Ducks, geese, swans, and even sandhill cranes are likely visitors. For up-to-date information, call the refuge office at 315/568-5987. 'The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Drive is scheduled to open tomorrow, April 1.
