For what it's worth, Bernie Carr and I spent several hours at the south end of Cayuga Lake on Sunday afternoon and could not find the Western Grebe. We looked from what we took to be Hog Hole and could see two Red-throated Loons close together, and a Common Loon several hundred yards away. The RT Loons were distant and we looked at them carefully but still thought they were both Red-throated Loons. Over at East Shore Park we could see the same two birds and thought they were both RT Loons from that position, plus a total of three Common Loons. We didn't go up Rte 89 and were out of time and did not go north of East Shore Park. We also dipped on the White-winged Crossbills at Summerhill, finding only Pine Siskins plus a single Goldfinch at the Hovel Chalet.
