Hiked the Esker Brook Trail and drove towpath rd at Montezuma this afternoon, Spring is definitely here! This is a list of species seen (didn't track numbers). I probably won't remember everything, but here it goes;
Yellow-rumped Warblers Yellow Warblers White-crowned Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Palm Warbler Black-crowned Night-heron (a pair at beginning of towpath - north side of road) Wood Ducks Trumpeter Swan Great Egret Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Blue-gray Gnatcatchers Baby Geese (all over the place) Baltimore Orioles Mallards N. Shovelers Am. Wigeon Redheads BW Teal GW Teal AM Coots Pied-billed Grebes Am Goldfinch Chipping Sparrows DC Cormorants (2 flocks in "V" formations) One word of caution about towpath road (off N. Mays Point Rd). They (NYSEG?) extended the road to the canal (by the east end) and there are a lot of people using it for fishing access, so watch for traffic. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
