Currently at least 15 Wilson's Snipe on the edge of the cornfield where it meets the ephemeral pond. Look around 80-100 feet along and be patient. Currently, 2 are poking around, at least 13 are resting together in same colored grass.
Very cool

Reading a number of checklists from Round Lake from today with an amazing number of Long-tailed Ducks. In all my years (now 40) in the Capital District, I don’t recall there ever being anything close to this number reported here. Ever. Not even double digits.
Does anyone have any idea of the maximum number of LTDU reported locally? Before today, that is!

this morning at round lake: a big raft of horned grebes (counted 13) in varying degrees of transition from basic to alternate plumage; one pair of black scoters.
For several days now there have also been many hundreds of common mergansers on the lake and perhaps a couple of hundred ring-billed gulls.

Welcomed the first spring migrants through the yard this morning: a pair of Fox Sparrows foraging at woodland edge near the house.
For years in the past, they arrived after the Red-winged Blackbird males but this year and last, they have arrived earlier. (Red-wings were noticeably late and small in numbers in 2024).

hey larry:
The ring-necked numbers at vischer ferry a couple of days ago were also
heavily skewed towards males. Cathy and I were in florida a couple of weeks
ago. There, the big scaup rafts seemed mainly to be heavily skewed toward
females. Maybe this reflects males generally migrating north earlier than
females? Just a guess.

My neighbor’s pond has had a large group of ducks on it for the past could of weeks. The vast majority are Ring-necked Ducks. I did a quick count (quick so as not to disturb them) and stopped counting when I hit 100! Of note is that the sex ratio is heavily skewed toward males. I think it’s in the neighborhood of 10:1 males to females (or even higher).
My question is if others have made a similar observation and why this may be the case.

High muskrat activity along the shoreline, with individuals every 20–30 meters. Flocks of Red-winged Blackbirds overhead and calling throughout. Walked to the Niskayuna Isle Bridge and back. Observed Red-tailed Hawk, Bald Eagle, Common Merganser, Hooded Merganser, Mallards, Wood Ducks, Song Sparrow, Northern Cardinals, Eastern Bluebird, and Black-capped Chickadees. Bald Eagle closed the outing, soaring from the Vischers Ferry side to the Niskayuna side.

Is going fast and the birds lost no time arriving. Tons of ring-billed
gulls and common mergansers. A few hooded mergansers and at least eight
bald eagles. I’m looking at four eagles one tree.

Watching a Coopers Hawk eat a Red Wing Blackbird in the pine tree right next to the living room picture window. The Redwing tried to duck into the brush pile on the edge of the lawn and the coopers went right in after him and dragged him out on the lawn and pounded on him then flew up into the pine and started shredding him.
Gruesome photos!!

Subject: [hmbirds] Cackling Geese in Greenwich, NY |
I had posed a question here last year if a population of Cackling
Goose could be found in Washington County, NY. The response was
"highly unlikely".
For the last 3 days, I have observed well over 30 Cackling Geese on
the Battenkill River in Greenwich, NY at both 7:15 am and 2:45 pm. On
each of these 3 days, they have been observed in a straight,
single-file line along the south side of the river approximately 1/8
of a mile west of the Greenwich Town Beach. This is the same area in
which I observed the Tundra Bean Goose in previous weeks.
To be clear, these are the smallest Cackling Geese I've ever seen.
Each of them are somewhat smaller than an average Mallard, with thick,
stubby necks and very short bills. The plumage along the flanks is
tawny colored as compared to the whitish color of the nearby Canada
Geese. The size difference is remarkable, similar to the size of a
Hooded Merganser or Bufflehead.
This morning, they were calling to each other, which allowed even more
credibility to my observations. The calls utilize a significantly
higher vocal pitch than that of Canada Goose.
I've seen this group of Cackling Geese each Spring for the last 3
years and each year, I am excited for their return.
I would love to hear some feedback from other bird observers.
This afternoon, I found them grazing in a cornfield further east on
the south side of Route 29 near the hamlet of Battenville. (Across
the road from a red-painted single family ranch-style home).
Please take caution if parking along Route 29 in Greenwich. The
shoulder of the road is almost non-existent along a curvy road...very
dangerous for parking.
I would encourage a short walk from the Greenwich Town Beach, where
parking is safe. From the beach, head on foot in a westerly direction
(toward Greenwich village) along 29 for about 1/8 mile.
Share your thoughts and photos!
Spring migration has begun,

Lakes and ponds are starting to open up in Rensselaer County. It is somewhat amazing how quickly ducks appear to take advantage of the emerging waters.
A small swath of open water appeared yesterday along the eastern shore of Nassau Lake. it was packed this morning with 2 Mute Swan, 25 Canada Geese, 40 Common Mergs, 6 Hooded Mergs, 24 Ring necked Ducks and a bunch of mallard.
Similar clusters were observed on Bulson Rd pond in Poestenkill, the south end of the Tom (with Gadwall and Teal), and fisherman’s lane ( with Widgeon and Pintails).

Shooting through our sunroom window and the chain-link fence didn't yield the best photo, but I was pleased to get this one. It's at least a full month earlier than I've ever seen a Fox Sparrow in our yard. What an unexpected thrill!

As soon as he left, two short-ears put on quite a show -- swooped around, did a few aerial dances, joined briefly by a third interloper. One perched on utility pole v. nearby for easy viewing. A bit too dark to get any photographs.
