Susie & I took a spin around the Dryden area this afternoon. Dryden Lake is still all ice(rotten), but there was a pair each of COMMON and HOODED MERGANSERS near the dam. Also a female KESTREL on a wire.
Along Southworth Rd., we listened to a singing male RUSTY BLACKBIRD (saw it too). The pond at George Rd. has a long open stretch on the north shore with 2 E. MEADOWLARKS and a KILLDEER there, with CANADA GEESE and MALLARDS. At our house feeders, we saw our first SONG SPARROW along with an unaccompanied female RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD.
