I covered Area 1on the Wilson-Lake Plains CBC in Niagara County on Saturday, as well as watching Lake Ontario for a couple hours in the morning with Willie D'Anna near his place. Area 1 includes Wilson-Tuscarora State Park and Wilson Harbor. It snowed the whole day, which limited the visibility and species count, but a decent variety was tallied, nonetheless. Highlights included Glaucous Gull and Carolina Wren.
