Schenectady County Lakes
Decided to head out into middle-of-nowhere Schenectady County today to see what waterfowl might be lurking in the less-birded lakes there. I was pleasantly surprised to find a male Red-breasted Mergan

Eastern Phoebe
Inspired by Tom’s “Anyone out there?” posting, I will report that I saw an Eastern Phoebe on Jan 13 at the Surrender March Trail in Schuylerville. Not sure if it was very late or a few months early. h

There’s a pair of Black-billed Cuckoos right at the start of the Glenville Bike Trail off Freemans Bridge Rd. Saw them flying back and forth across the power line cut, once carrying food. Lots of good

Horned Grebes?
I’m not completely sure, but I think there’s a pair of Horned Grebes at Collins Lake. Might be Red-necked but definitely not Pied-billed (thin pointy bill, black wings with large white patches). Dista
