Back from the southern states

After spending a beautiful week wearing shorts, tee shirts and sometime sandals, it's back to the freezing temps on New York.  I picked up my big year efforts this afternoon by hitting up some "birding-by-car" locations on the island's east and south shore.  Unfortunately, I haven't put up gloves back in coat pockets, so I wasn't about to go searching for songbirds.  Hopefully, the snow won't continue on Saturday and we'll be able to get back out.  Sunday, Dave and I will be out counting waterfowl as part of the NYSOA Waterfowl Count.  Keeping my fingers crossed something unusual will be around.....  time will tell.
