Today the 3 Cattle Egrets were still at the Goose Haven field on the east side route 89 north of 5 and 20 but only visible from the very north end of the field as they were behind the berm. 1 Common Yellowthroat was at the Tschasche pool observation tower with GC Kinglets. 2 Semipalmated Plovers, 2 Greater yellowlegs and about 120 Dunlin were at Knox-Marcellus Marsh from East Road. The Snow Geese are finally building up to several hundred but all were back at Puddler's and we did not go down Towpath Road to check for Ross' Goose.
On the way there a Peregrine Falcon was pursuing a Ring-billed gull over the NYS Thruway near Manchester. We saw 4 passes before they were out of sight. Another Peregrine hunted the ducks at Armitage Road with more success. A third was in the dead trees at May's point.
