[cayugabirds-l] Willow Ptarmigan retraction
I just found out the Willow Ptarmigan was seen in VT before the last NY sighting, meaning there were at least two birds far away from their normal range. It is sad to hear that the NY bird was found dead, does anyone know the details/cause? While I was on Point Peninsula for several hours on 4/30, I met a few of the residents. Most were friendly and welcoming to the birders, but I did hear a couple negative comments, and since I work along a camp access road, I know that some of the homeowners value the peace and quiet that normally exists.
