Another Super Bowl, another title won by a team named for something other than a bird. Birding is better when you keep sports out of it anyway!
Birding has been terribly slow here in the Rochester area. I visited a place that has historically been auspicious for Cackling Goose but couldn’t even find a Canada there. If a pair of Mallards didn’t turn up, I would have gone completely birdless. Corey, on the other hand, enjoyed a great outing to Breezy Point on Sunday morning with his pals, Seth and Mary, and they enjoyed a whole pile of coastal birds. But the stars of the show were the Razorbills zipping to-and-fro, and they are Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend.

It seemed like every time I got in the car this weekend, I ended up seeing another Red-tailed Hawk: zooming down into the brush, getting harassed by crows, etc. You’d have thought Atlanta really was in the Big Game this weekend! #yayforandyreid
