Hi Ken and all,
A good candidate marsh for Harrier nesting is just west of the capped landfill,
beside the long-abandoned Center Schoolhouse Road. I’ve seen female Harriers in
there during past breeding seasons. Also Virginia Rails In there. The marsh
itself is Tompkins County property. The
I made a rare trip to Danby area yesterday, and we had a male Northern Harrier
over the wetland on Hillview Rd and the grassy capped landfill to the south.
Not sure how close that is to Walding Lane. Also Virginia Rails in that
wetland.
Thanks Geo for keeping track of Acadian Flycatchers in
In the cattail marsh just south of Walding Lane, West Danby, I’ve got more
Marsh Wrens, a nice pair of very vocal Virginia Rails out in plain sight, and a
male Northern Harrier (used to breed along here, probably still do).
