[cayugabirds-l] MNWR - Thursday evening

[cayugabirds-l] Bald Eagles on Dryden Lake

Re: Re:[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca Great Egret

Today (Friday 19 August) I checked out the Ithaca egret roost in the morning and in the evening. During a dawn lull in work I stopped by Treman Marina and saw the 2 GREAT EGRETS in their separate trees a few minutes after 6am as I had left them Thursday night. Unfortunately I got distracted and
