I was at Mt. Pleasant during the brief clear period and could find only 12
BROADWINGS (which is about right as my eyes are only 1/2 as good as Ken's).
I, too, had 2 OSPREYS.Steve

A group of us from the Cornell Birding Club participated in a collaborative big
day across campus yesterday. In total, 105 birds were tallied including 23
species of warbler. It was an awesome day!
Benjamin Van Doren, Luke Seitz, and I started at the football stadium where

I was out painting the house when I heard, then saw, a single SANDHILL CRANE
flying south. Yard bird! Early migrant, I suppose.

Here's an early report from Montezuma - Knox-Marcellus Marsh Sunday morning, in

Road and had a few notable birds.

cool! Paul may expound on what we saw, but I know Ken gave a report.
Good birding,
Ann

Just for the record, I did not see any of my migrating Broad-wings without

seemed to be following an imaginary (not to them I guess!) line
Hi all,
A couple of raptor sightings of note on Mt Pleasant this weekend:

plus a single Semipalmated Plover on the spit.
We stopped at the MNWR visitors center where we were
