I took a short walk in the mown fields in the central part of the LP Biodiversity Preserve (West Danby). Ponds are just beginning to open down there, and Wood Ducks were concentrated in the small ice-free areas. I stopped counting at 16...
Great Blue Herons were standing in a high nest out in the big swamp beyond the WD Fire Station. I may go back this evening for Woodcock, though the dogs will have to stay home: those fields are just silly with ticks already! -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
