Erie County weather this past week: wintery (cold and/or snow) Saturday – Wednesday, warmer but seasonally cool yesterday (Thursday), cool and overcast today (Friday). Upcoming weekend weather: potentially rainy Sunday, probably sunny Saturday afternoon. With ‘nesting season’ starting April 1, a reminder that this is the last weekend for unrestricted access to outer Gull Point.

Happy weekend, happy nature! #more_bird
