Birding - Montezuma - March 21, 2012

Martens Tract

The Spring weather continues to be exceptional. Today would prove no different. The temperature will eventually reach into the 70s. The key combos for this birding day will be fellow birders and song sparrows.

At Martens Tract I introduced myself to Joseph Brin of Baldwinsville, N.Y. At Knox-Marcellus a retired couple were scoping out four soaring eagles. At Tschache Pool two women were photographing the birds from the tower. At the Visitors' Center two bikers, an elderly couple, and two young women. At the Cayuga Lock two men were taking photos of the nesting eagle.
