The single sleeping swan was a Trumpeter. I woke it up.

Quick trip through wildlife drive at Montezuma yesterday. Lots of Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal at Visitor Center along with a single pair of Northern Pintail. A single sleeping Swan (sp) and lots of Ring-necked Ducks on the main pool and Bennings Marsh pool as well as Northern Shovelers everywhere. A pair of bathing Mallards' crazy behaviors flushed an American Bittern along the thruway- first time I've seen one in flight. On the way back along Rt. 20 there were 5 pairs of osprey on nests, poles or flying in the air as well as 2 single birds flying in opposite directions with fish. The trip along the lake down Rt.. 90 brought 7 additional pairs on nesting platforms.
