Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

For a broader view of the sky than my driveway, my Loon Watch this morning from 6:40am to 9:40am was from the north end of the NYS-89 bridge over the Flood Control Channel. There were loons, but it didn’t seem like a big obvious migration. Maybe the wind and temperature were not enough to

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

A mindboggling paucity of loons and migratory waterfowl in general! I counted 27 loons flying south from my watch site on a hilltop in south Danby. I didn’t see my first until 7:41. 16 passed between 7:54-8:09 and 7 passed between 8:09-8:23. Good to see all the reports even though a big

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

East side of Seneca Lake in Ovid, was out from 7:30-7:40 and 7:50-8:45 (maybe too late).  Saw the following: 7:30-7:40: 0 7:50-8:00: 5 in single group, a tad lower than expected but still migration height - moving very fast with the wind, a couple hundred yards inland of the shore 8:00-8:15:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

Hello all - I had 3 loons fly directly overhead on a 180* heading between 7-8:30 AM at the very south end of Michigan Hollow Road. Wes Blauvelt On Thu, Nov 12, 2020 at 9:50 AM Kenneth V. Rosenberg wrote: > I had a total of 140 loons from Bluegrass Lane in Ithaca. All were far to > the west,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

I had a total of 140 loons from Bluegrass Lane in Ithaca. All were far to the west, moving south in small groups of 5-20 birds. So, possibly also counted by others farther west than where I was. There were large distant flocks of blackbirds moving south, and a few other interesting flyovers

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

Well folks, from 7:50-8:40 this morning, no migration of loons visible at Stewart Park. But I saw st least a dozen birders. Janie Leff On Thu, Nov 12, 2020 at 9:13 AM Donna Lee Scott wrote: > From my lans. stat. Rd. dock on east side, I saw ~8 Loons up & Down lake > , all diving & feeding.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

Saw 5 loons fly low north over Clute Park and land in Seneca Lake to feed it seems. Added bonus: a bald eagle flying west and landed in a tree in Watkins Glen. On Thu, Nov 12, 2020 at 9:12 AM Donna Lee Scott wrote: > From my lans. stat. Rd. dock on east side, I saw ~8 Loons up & Down lake > ,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] LOON MIGRATION ALERT

From my lans. stat. Rd. dock on east side, I saw ~8 Loons up & Down lake , all diving & feeding. Nobody took off flying. Another Loon flew low from N to S, but then circled back north & landed. I did not see this bird take off, so don’t know how far it flew before landing. Donna Scott Lansing
