I went up north to check on shorebird habitat. More water was added at Knox Marcellus since the weekend which is good news.
At the main pool on the Wildlife Drive, the water is mostly gone. The shorebirds are quite distant. LaRue's. Eaton Marsh, and Benning still have water and no mud. The newly created pools at the back of the Wildlife Drive (the area south of Rte 90) have lots of mud and water with some shorebirds including both Yellowlegs, Least and Spotted Sandpipers, Killdeer, and a couple Semi-palmated Plovers. Fifteen Great Egrets were there, also.
