A GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW (Zonotrichia atricapilla) IN DELAWARE COUNTY: NEW YORK'S FOURTH

摘要

On the morning of 30 December, 2018 I left my Livingston Manor home for Delaware County to scout for our CBC on 5 January. The snow had started a little earlier in the morning and continued as I headed to my car. I debated whether I should wait until the snow stopped. There is a long climb on Route 206 going over the mountain prior to Downsville and I was afraid of getting stuck. I decided to try to make it. Per my usual, I left just prior to sunrise to reach Downsville early, when the birds would be most active.
