Tim Lenz just found a gorgeous PACIFIC LOON on the lake off 3080 Rt 89, just south of Lower Lake Road and Cayuga Lake SP in Seneca County. It was diving extremely frequently and only staying up for a few seconds at a time, out past the flocks of ducks but not particularly distant overall (though a scope would still be needed to identify it.) Several Common were in the area as well. It seems to be staying in the same area of lake, but birders should exercise extreme caution as pulling over is fairly hazardous at this stretch of the highway.
