Fall migration is in full swing, and my first papers are due this coming Thursday. In response to this, I have ingeniously planned a big day around my class schedule... I made a dry run this afternoon, with great results. From 3-4 pm, with NO binoculars and plenty of spishing, I checked off an even 20 species on campus and nearby nature trail. I am hoping this is a good omen, but we'll see tomorrow.
Big Day Test Run:
Canada Goose
Killdeer
Ring-billed Gull
Rock Dove
Mourning Dove
Belted Kingfisher
Downy Woodpecker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
House Wren
American Robin
Gray Catbird
European Starling
Cedar Waxwing
Chipping Sparrow
Song Sparrow
American Goldfinch
House Sparrow
For the real deal, I will cover the HVCC campus, Nature Trail, Landfill, Vischer Ferry Preserve, Hudson-Mohawk Bike path, and anything in between that looks promising...
And then I have to study....
