This afternoon Reuben Stoltzfus called to report a RED KNOT flying over Knox-Marsellus Marsh as seen from East Road, but not refound, and it may have headed toward Van Dyne Spoor Rd along with most smaller shorebirds from K-M due to Peregrine attacks. However, later from Towpath Road Reuben also reported a breeding plumage AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER on the ground, and it may be visible from East Road when lighting cooperates. Both species are new for the Cayuga Lake Basin this year, so far as I know. Towpath Road’s craters have filled with water from recent rains, and it is not recommended for car travel, he says, from someone else’s pick-up truck. ;-)
