Ann and cayugabirders - The "first drive" as you go on to Towpath Road is closed unless you have a permit which Linda Ziemba is very glad to give you if you are willing to volunteer to survey birds for her!. Otherwise, it's a no-no.

Highlights were: Union Spring Frontenac Park - 2 CASPIAN TERNS, 1 BONAPARTE'S GULL. Montezuma Visitor's Center - Many GREEN-WINGED and BLUE-WINGED TEAL, NORTHERN SHOVELERS, GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, PURPLE MARTINS. Larues - 2 WILSON'S SNIPE, PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, both YELLOWLEGS, a singing WARBLING VIREO. Bennings Marsh - 76 DUNLIN and both YELLOWLEGS. Muckrace Flats - pretty wet from the snow, but along with GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS was a SOLITARY SANDPIPER. Martin's Tract - AMERICAN WIGEON, AMERICAN COOTS . We also heard a MARSH WREN. Towpath Road - at the first drive as you go in yielded 4 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS. We didn't walk the whole dike because we didn't want to disturb the herons we saw so there very well could have been more. The Farm Days Field (Sorry, I never remember the name) - We saw 2 UPLAND SANDPIPERS. One was displaying. SAVANNAH and SONG SPARROWS were also seen.
