Once again there appeared to be this dark island in the distance on the Lake. With the help of binoculars I sighted: 100's of 1,000's RED BREASTED MERGANSERS, RED HEADS, CANVAS BACKS, BUFFLEHEAD, SCOTERS & RED THROATED LOONS.
Many PINE SISKINS, DARK EYED JUNCOS, WHITE THROATED SPARROWS, WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCH, NORTHERN CARDINALS, BLUE JAYS & ROBINS. Directions: Take Liberty exit off 401 down to West Beach Road and follow to the lake. (A note of caution when parking in the parking lot of CLOCA around the first corner along the way: Do not leave anything in your car if you decide to park there and leave your vehicle unattended. We went biking with the Mayor 2 weeks ago and when we came back our vehicles were broken into. Missing: telescopes, binoculars, bike rack & wallet. It is best to leave your vehicle unlocked than at least they won't smash the window as they did to us.) The PINE SISKINS, DARK EYED JUNCOS, WHITE THROATED SPARROWS, WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCH, NORTHERN CARDINALS can be seen in my yard of 590 Mill St. S. Newcastle off exit 440. The ROBINS I sighted biking to Port HOpe and back, close to Little Britain.
