[cayugabirds-l] re Hooded mergansers at Mud lock

2012-12-02 Thread Donna Scott
Viewing and counting the huge flock of HOODED MERGANSERS was difficult since 
many of them were diving, and many were not visible when they swam behind the 
little houses along the Seneca River, just past Mud Lock at the north end of 
Cayuga Lake. However, I conservatively estimate the number at 200 +, perhaps 
even nearly 300.  Other birders in cars there (in the rain) and I all agreed it 
was the most H. Mergansers in one group we had ever seen!
Beautiful!

Kathy and I conservatively estimated 200. eBird did not like this count.
