[cayugabirds-l] ravens
On an otherwise unbirdy morning, three RAVENS flew over our field on their way from Taughannock gorge to Frontenac gorge. Within minutes we were notified that a courageous friend had passed on in the early hours of the morning. This is going to be an exceptional day. Carpe diem.

Not sure how long the goose flock will stay, but right now there is a Cackling Goose in with the other Canada Geese on the main pond in Sapsucker Woods, viewable from the Cornell Lab's Visitor Center.

[cayugabirds-l] Iceland Gull, Stevenson Road
I saw my first-of-the-season ICELAND GULL, a pale immature, either a first- or second-winter, on the compost piles at Stevenson Road. I did not see my hybrid black-backed (though it was there yesterday), and no other gulls of note. Myers Point was quite deserted this morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Knox-Marsellus Thursday - Owls, Cranes, odd goose
Staking out the roost flight found lots of waterfowl moving around but the big Snow Geese numbers may have reached Cayuga Lake. Two Short-eared Owls appeared at dusk and I counted 82 Sandhill Cranes. There's an odd Canada Goose that's not like any I've seen before. - noticeably paler body, back, and wings (golden rather than dark brown) but with normal Canada Goose patterning (direct comparison) - obvious, wide, complete white neck ring - size like other Canada Geese, or at least not Cackling-sized - very small bill given its size - unusually wide white chin strap The noticeably paler color is probably the best scan feature.
