[Birdtalk] Fwd: Hooded Merganser

[STEPHEN T CARLILE]

Connie's question illustrates a good point.  At times our location/direction information to a particular bird sighting is so general that a person not already familiar with an area could not find it.  Sometimes we assume everyone knows what and where we are talking about.  I know it takes more time and can be a pain, but providing more detailed location information (for both old and new birders as well as those new to the state) would be helpful.

Thanks,

Stephen

  Pond?  What pond?  I went looking for the pond in Wellesville and couldn't find it.  I found the cheese factory and a stream, but no pond.  THe only birds I saw were 2 mallards (male/female pair).  Could you give instructions on how to find this pond?  Thnx
