Since our erstwhile Club President wrote this... Also, just need to make a point here. I have been told by the front desk at the Lab of Ornithology that some people have called in to ask why the bird club is not posting more sightings? I want to make it clear to all that the listserve and the bird club are two separate entities that of course have a good deal of overlap but still are mutually exclusive. Plus, it's summer. Moving in to Fall migration. So stay tuned!!
...I will post what I saw tonight out in the country in So. Cayuga County on Genoa-Venice Townline Road ( the gravel part east of Rt. 34B): A lovely Juvenile Wood Duck quietly swimming around in the somewhat-deep, slow-moving creek that flows underneath the road there. I saw a Wood Duck house on a metal pole, back in the trees on the opposite side of the road, so somebody out there is caring for the Wood Ducks. This little wetland area is crowded with beautiful, lush Joe Pye Weed flowers and Goldenrods. Also saw many barn and some tree swallows zooming back and forth all along my leisurely rural route this evening.
