On Sunday March 25, Denise and I birded Sabattis Circle Rd. in Hamilton County,
finding Pine Siskins at several locations along the road, and two Gray Jays at
the feeders near Sabattis bog. At the inlet to Little Tupper Lake along
Sabattis Circle Road (where rt 10 and 10A come together with the road that goes
west along Little Tupper Lake) we had more Pine Siskins and about 8
White-winged Crossbills. A male and female crossbill came down to the parking
area the intersection of these 3 roads, where a large John Deere construction
vehicle with a plow was parked. They were both gritting and drinking form the
puddles there. As we walked the roads in that area, we observed several singing
male WW crossbill, mostly in the treetops. A lone American Robin in the snow
was also present.
Earlier in the day, we had a flyover Snow Bunting at the Newcomb welcome center
park, along with about 20 purple finches and several pine siskins at the
feeders at the Newcomb - ESF Adirondack Info. Center.
photos are being added to our ebird reports as we finish processing them.
