We head out to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge on the north end of Cayuga Lake. Ponds have been let down to expose underwater plants and seeds. Canada Geese are taking full advantage of the place. There is a smattering of ducks as well but I am really out of practice identifying then especially in non-breeding plumage. I am sure I will be even worse with waders who pretty much all look alike in the winter. I need to spend a little time with my Sibley’s. The drive to and from the refuge is through peaceful farm and orchard land and through small towns. There is little traffic so Kent can enjoy it too. We happen to pass the Purity ice cream shop on our way back to camp so we just have to stop. Kent got another turtle sundae and I, in the spirit of the season, went for an apple crisp sundae. It was a good choice. We will have salad for supper!
