Birding - Canandaigua
Finger Lakes Community College Trail
Arrived in Canandaigua ahead of the scheduled 9 AM meeting of the Eaton Birding Society in the Finger Lakes Community College parking lot. Drove west on Lake Shore Drive to the community pier. Took some photos.
The forest floor proved to be the star of the day.
Detoured north on Rt. 89 and visited the Knox-Marcellus Marsh lookout. Hundreds of Tundra Swans were on the ice with several Mallards. Snow Geese were flying overhead.
All in all another good day of birding.

Snowshoeing - Montezuma Audubon Center
Frank Morehouse
After registering donned my snowshoes and queued up with the other participants, mostly adults but several families with young children. Rough attendance estimate - 50+.
After introduction near the bird feeders we stepped off into the woods. Passing the observation deck we veered right onto Warbler Walk.
Warbler Walk
The wolf tree drew the group's attention.

About a hundred yards up the trail Frank took a left turn and led the group due West. The trail became increasing wet. Several kids had their feet plunge beneath the snow in the swamp-like conditions. Fortunately they were all wearing good boots.
Then we came to the edge of Crusoe Creek. Frank noted that because of the swampy trespass and the proliferation of poison ivy the lake was best accessed during the winter months.

Bald Eagles (south side of Armitage Road)
Heading back to the center the group weaved its way along Trumpeter Trail between Merganser Marsh & Sandpiper Shallows.

Back in the center kids sipped on hot chocolate while the adult shared pleasant conversations.
On my way home I detoured down Armitage Road. Glad I did because the balds eagles that were there is the Fall were still in residence.
Also, what appeared to be a coyote was searching for food on the north side of Armitage Road.
Coyote???
Another plus, my old friend, Red-tail Hawk, was perched on the telephone pole on Rt. 89.
A great day for snowshoeing and birding.

Week One - 51 To Go
Another excellent Hieronymous Bosch novel. Actually the 18th in the series. Connelly’s premier character once again doggedly solves the crime, but not before having his concern for daughter takes precedence.
