Doing a little scouting around the Catskill-Coxsackie CBC circle, I found a few interesting species:
A flock of about 50 HORNED LARKS (but no buntings or longspurs) in a manure spread near Coxsackie; AMERICAN KESTREL one individual at the same area; WOOD DUCK and RING-NECKED DUCK at the Coxsackie Boat Launch; A flock of RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS (# ?) coming to a feeder in Athens; Several Red-tailed Hawks and Northern Harriers, but no Rough-legs or owls; Yesterday, I found a LONG-TAILED DUCK at the Coxsackie Boat Launch; And about a dozen SAVANNAH SPARROWS near the Coxsackie Prison. There was also an ICELAND GULL at the Coxsackie Boat Launch We have a few field parties who could use another participant or two. Any takers? Participants are invited to a full course hot meal, on us, at a classy restaurant after the count.field clothes are certainly acceptable.
