The new schedule won't be out for some time, but in the past this event has
offered virtually non-stop birding from early-morning walks and bird banding to
evening owl prowls. In between there were mid-morning and afternoon
birding field trips as well as an all-day Saturday trip.
Yesterday at dusk, about 700+ Canada geese were migrating from the Hanshaw
Rd. fields across from our house to the Sapsucker Woods' pond, honking
loudly in chevron flight. From within our house and amidst the honking, I
could distinctly hear a Barred Owl call who, who, who cooks for you all
twice.
Hi all,
The George Road wetlands in Dryden were fairly active this morning this
morning. There is now quite a bit of open water, lots of weedy vegetation
for ducks to hide in, and a decent amount of muddy and grassy shoreline.
Geese and diving ducks were conspicuously absent, but dabbling ducks

I just spent a half hour watching a flock of Robins mob a pair of Pileateds in
the woods here above Owasco Lake, hounding them from tree to tree, chasing them

Yesterday afternoon on my day off I biked over to Stewart Park. This morning and afternoon I stopped by there briefly in the taxi. Among the many CANADA GEESE, MALLARDS, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, and RING-BILLED, HERRING, and GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS, there was a changing mix of migrants.
I stopped briefly at Montezuma this morning on the way out towards

We found a WINTER WREN squashed flat in the road. How?? We did hear a live
