Hi all, Not sure if this made it to the NYS listserve yet, but Kyle Gage (CONGRATS!!!) found a Neotropic Cormorant at Batavia Wastewater Treatment Plant in Genesee County. The bird continues *today* good luck if you go.
REMINDER: the facility closes at 3 PM sharp and the gates are locked. DO NOT be locked in, and please follow the rules. We have had access to this facility for a very long time and don’t want to ruin that for others.
