Yesterday I drove up Sandbank Road on the south side of Ithaca to look for Bobolinks near the new apple cider business and noted quite a few “No parking” signs along the road there.
Probably due to all of us birdwatchers parking along there to see the Bobolinks when they come.
I did not see any yesterday, but it was quite foggy and rainy. There were a lot of Redwinged blackbirds.
Too bad the cider place has obliterated a lot of long-grass areas the Bobs & Red wings used to use.
