[cayugabirds-l] Michigan Hollow

2019-04-29 Thread Geo Kloppel
The marsh in Michigan Hollow (Town Of Danby, not Spencer) was covered in a thin 
skin of ice this morning, before the sun hit it.  An American Bittern was 
pumping loudly. I also heard a single song from a Pied-billed Grebe, and 
watched a male Harrier surveying his territory. Lots of Wood Ducks, Mallards 
and Canada Geese, a pair of Hooded Mergansers, plenty of Swamp Sparrows, 
etcetera. No rails this morning, though I had Virginia Rails there a few days 
ago.

-Geo
