[cayugabirds-l] Eagles at Mud Lock
Hi, I have a young (10 yr old) friend visiting from France who is not a birder but who is interested in seeing an adult Bald Eagle this week. Are the mud lock eagles still in the general area of the nest? Are any other adult eagles likely to give good looks and, if so, what's the best place to check? He is only here for a few days and it probably isn't worth the drive from Ithaca to Montezuma - even with a stop at Fingerlakes Creamery! - unless there is a fairly good chance of getting an eagle close enough for good binocular looks (we don't have a scope). Thanks for any advice, even if it is that this isn't likely to pan out for him!

[cayugabirds-l] Eagles at Mud Lock
Lynn Bergmeyer and I birded down the east side of Cayuga Lake today. Steve Fast reported much of what we saw. (We missed some of his finds.) We did see two BALD EAGLES in the trees near the nest at Mud Lock. Many TUNDRA SWANS along the ice shelf of the channel between there and Black Bridge. In Union Springs, a single SNOW GOOSE on Mill Pond (Rte 90) among the CANADA GEESE and other waterfowl, and a HOODED MERGANSER as well as the pale duck (see Fritzie Blizzard's post) on Factory Pond (Factory Street). It was interesting that the rafts of REDHEADS on the lake were relatively small yet characteristically dense.
