Found Killdeer in three places this morning (3/3). One flying up and down Vosburgh Swamp in Greene County, one at the Greene County IDA Grasslands in Coxsackie (along the Serta cul-de-sac, pictured above), and at the power line cut along Rowe Rd. in Selkirk, Albany County. Temperatures dipped into the lower 20s overnight and put a hold on the thawing out process. Dabbling ducks are waiting just to our south for the shallow ponds and such to open up. Vosburgh Swamp was over 90% frozen, but ducks were still scattered throughout the small open water areas. Numerous Northern Pintail, and several each of American Wigeon and Green-winged Teal were present there, along with at least one Mute Swan, and three Bald Eagles. Thanks to John and Tristan for scouting the area yesterday.
