longbeards,

It sounds like your part of NY is gonna be great. I have been in Otsego County NY the last few weeks, particularly last weekend and for Palm Sunday, and I can tell you that the birds there are acting just like ours in CT. Have quieted down considerably the last 2 weeks, and are heavy into the breeding.

It will be a very interesting and fun Spring season for some of us I think....
