Redpolls- Crescent Power
Just had about 30 Common Redpolls at Crescent Power Plant. Not much else interesting here or at Crescent Park but the lighting and rain sure doesn't help.

Tundra/Trumpeter Swans flyover Round Lake
Keep an eye out south of Saratoga County, I just had two swans flying south low over Round Lake with no wing noise, and some nasal trumpeting calls to rule out Mutes.

Common Redpolls in Queensbury
I'm currently viewing 11 Common Redpolls munching on birch catkins at Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve in Queensbury, the trail leads down to a boardwalk at the river, that's where I found them!
