A quick run through rural Dryden this morning didn't turn up nearly as many interesting birds as yesterday. I ascribe that to the difference in conditions: yesterday the edges of the roads were clear, and birds were accessing the gravely/dirt areas for food; this morning the roads were still a mess and the edges were snow-covered. I did see some robins in a few cleared spots, and a flock of 60 AMERICAN PIPITS were mixed in with robins at a manure line on Purvis Road.
Dryden Lake had good numbers of Bufflehead and Common Merganser, a few Ring-necked Ducks, Lesser Scaup, and American Wigeon, and a single sleeping RED-NECKED GREBE. Kevin Kevin J.
