If you drive on the New York State Thruway between Syracuse and Rochester you'll go right through the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, a huge wetland that every spring is filled with large flocks of migrating waterfowl and other birds. David Chanatry of the New York Reporting Project at Utica College recently visited the refuge and spoke with Chris Lajewski, the director of the Audubon Center.
