Of course it's just out of the Cayuga Lake Basin, but wanted to share that I found a SPOTTED SANDPIPER down in the Shindagin Hollow swamp this morning at about 10:30, bobbing away. Through a combination of stealth tactics and a blithe disregard for mud, I was able to earn the sandpiper's trust and get some photos of him catching a caddis fly larva. For those interested, I've just put them up in my album on the Cayuga Birding Club's web site. See the following link: http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/gallery
P.S. I have a photography show currently up at Moosewood Restaurant (in both the restaurant and cafe), till the end of April. The show features mainly bird images.
