I saw 1 SNOWY OWL & a light phased ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK at the Syracuse Airport around 10:00 this morning. Both birds were in the north section of the airport, seen from near the State Police barracks. The Snowy was a heavily barred individual and was sitting on the ground, while the Roughie was hunting along the back edge of the field.
The white GLAUCOUS GULL was at the Inner Harbor hanging out with a mess of Great Black-backed Gulls, while the harbor was full of HOODED (87) and COMMON (65) MERGANSERS, along with some MALLARDS, 3 GADWALL, and 2 CORMORANTS. In Brewerton, the small collection of waterfowl on Oneida Lake and the Oneida River included: TUNDRA SWAN – 8 CANADA GOOSE – only 1 AMERICAN BLACK DUCK - 2 MALLARD – 7 REDHEAD – 5 COMMON GOLDENEYE – 38 COMMON MERGANSER - 156 Mickey Scilingo Constantia Oswego County, NY mickey.scili...@gte.net 315-679-6299 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
