The RED-THROATED LOON was still on Cayuga Inlet this evening resting near the
Treman Park boat ramp. Other birds of note were a GREAT BLUE HERON standing on
a narrow ice shelf along the far side, 2 southbound TREE SWALLOWS, about a
thousand COMMON GRACKLES in flocks moving south or east and several hundred
probable Red-winged Blackbirds in similar flights. Cayuga Inlet has been
mostly cleared of ice, at least partly by crew boat coaches, all the way to the
jetties, but then there's a mile and half of ice, so maybe the various ducks
will stay on the inlet until crews start up and disturb them.

About an hour ago, 8:30am, from the Farmers' Market in Ithaca I saw a winter
plumage RED-THROATED LOON in Cayuga Inlet. I suppose it is visible from Cass
Park as well, but the light will be against you there. It's unusual to see
one this close rather than very distant on the lake.
