Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates. It was a busy weekend for me, as we hosted family for the the holiday, but I did manage to get out a for a little bit on both days of the weekend. I walked Winding Waters Trail at Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge on both days; it’s been absolutely loaded with waterfowl, and I was really interested in tracking down the Eurasian Green-winged Teal that Bruce Nott found earlier in the week. There are hundreds of Green-winged Teal there right now; I sorted through them a good while on Saturday and for a little while on Sunday, but I did not have any luck with my target bird. So I finished the weekend having seen just the usual suspects for this time of year, but as usual, I enjoyed trying to get some interesting photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
