Genessee Mountain Park
Mary and I birded Genessee Mountain Park late evening June 15 after 6.30 PM. Birds were very quiet. Only a few Robins, Western Bluebirds, a couple of Jays, but no Swallows, Nuthatches, or other expected birds. On the road to the Mountain top, we parked near the Nationally Protected Bird Nesting tree in the main picnic grounds. A police car was there. Soon after it left, a large shaggy brightly reddish brown bear moved up along a path a couple hundred yards from our car. The bear appeared to be a pregnant female, belly close to the gronnd. It looked like it knew where it was going and ignored us. It crossed the blacktop road, inspected the large outhouse, and moved on to inspect the trash barrels the large covered rocked open picnic hose built in the early 1900s.The gear move on out-if-sight.
Peaceful birding,
Warren Finch
