[cayugabirds-l] Red-throated loon earlier today

2015-03-29 Thread Liisa S. Mobley
After dinner, went for a walk by the Treman Marina. We didn't have binoculars, 
but I didn't need them as the red-throated loon was swimming in the channel of 
the marina very close and was quite easy to see. Must be the same one reported 
this morning and last week by the Farmer's Market.

Yes. Ridiculous closeups from this afternoon:

After my report this morning, I was told that a boat came by and flushed 
everything away, and when we went there in the afternoon it was on the far side 
about halfway to the white lighthouse. But our patience paid off as presently 
it decided to come in close to fish, sometimes surfacing 10 feet away! It did 
eventually swim away, however. Glad to hear it came back for others to enjoy.

[cayugabirds-l] No. Shrike and Rough-legged Hawks

2015-03-29 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
?Hi All,


There was a No. Shrike on Mohawk Road just west the houses around 9.30 am. Gave 
us a good look for long time. There were three Rough-legged Hawk on airport 
property two were brownish and the third one was slightly darker morph.


Also three times Eurasian Wigeon has been reported along the Cayuga lake, first 
one at 9.07 from Ladoga, second from Long Point state park around 10.39 am and 
the third sighting was from Spit south of Aurora bluffs around noon sleeping.


So I am not sure if there are more than Eurasian Wigeons along the lake or it 
the same wigeon kept moving north as people saw it at different times.

[cayugabirds-l] RTLoon @ Treman Marina, Siskin @ SSW

2015-03-29 Thread Suan Yong
Our SFO group saw from Jetty Woods across the inlet a/the RED-THROATED LOON 
fishing just off the mouth of the Treman Marina, very close, along with a nice 
assortment of waterfowl (including a lone snow goose in very bad shape: injured 
back and bill). A/the BONAPARTE'S GULL continues in the inlet.

Earlier at Sapsucker Woods we saw a/the lone PINE SISKIN from the road hanging 
out with goldfinches at a watering hole.

[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian Wigeons

2015-03-29 Thread bob mcguire
Susan Danskin, Diane Morton, Ken Kemphus, and I drove up the lake today on what 
we dubbed a “Ross’s Goose Chase”. Ultimately we did find a single Ross’s in the 
massive flock of some tens of thousands of Snow Geese on the ice and in the 
water to the north of the old Towpath Machine Shop in the Village of Cayuga. 
Susan spotted the first candidate around noon, but we were never able, as a 
group, to get on it. On our way back, later in the afternoon, we ran into Jay 
and Livia at Mud Lock. They had just come from watching a Ross’s in the same 
area we had been looking earlier. We returned and rather quickly found 
(refound?) the little guy.

The highlight of the day, however, were the two EURASIAN WIGEONS that we 
encountered. Ken picked the first one out as we were looking west from Ladoga. 
It was fairly close in, the lake was nearly calm, and the light was over our 
shoulders. So the viewing was great! The second Eurasian appeared with two 
American Wigeons close to shore along Lake Road just south of Long Point State 
Park. It was swimming slowly north, and we lost sight of it behind some houses 
and trees. We later heard that Jay and Livia refound it farther north, just 
before the Aurora bluffs. In the afternoon we heard, again from Jay, that an 
apparent third Eurasian Wigeon was on or along the ice south of Mud Lock. It 
sounds like a three-Eurasian Wigeon day.

Other highlights were at least 20 Horned Grebes, several in near-breeding 
plumage in Aurora Bay (seen from the bluffs), and the sky-filling flocks of 
thousands and thousands of Snow Geese.
