[cayugabirds-l] Salt Road feeders
Thanks to Bob McGuire and an unknown ( to me at least) donor I will be placing a couple of feeders up at the intersection of salt road and Dresser. Actually they will be about 50 feet from the intersection on Dresser on the north side of the road. N42, 40.1647 W76, 19.5802 for those with GPS. Hopefully they will remain through the winter. I will maintain them to the best of my ability, but donations of seed will be gratefully appreciated. Let us know what you see there.
