Apologies for my garbled message yesterday about the female White-winged Scoter at Myers.  Not sure what happened-tried sending from my phone. I was at Myers with the CC Bird Study Group (8:30 am) and we did observe a female White-winged Scoter straight out from the point. It was close-in for

[cayugabirds-l] Myers Point: Black Scoter, etc.

The last few days have been relatively slow lake-watching from Myers and other areas. Yesterday's rain did not drop anything particularly noteworthy down in the spots I was able to check. Highlights yesterday were two male LONG-TAILED DUCKS flying north past Myers and a DUNLIN on the spit.

I watched the lake at Myers Point for an hour this morning (7:10-8:10). Nothing too exciting. The best bird was probably a SANDERLING that flew by heading generally north, but flying very erratically, no I'm really sure where it ended up. It didn't seem to have any interest in stopping on the

Myers Point was fairly quiet this morning. Despite seemingly much better migration conditions today than yesterday (very calm northwestish wind instead of strong south), I saw VERY few birds moving, in contrast to yesterday when dozens of loons and good numbers of geese were moving. Stupid birds.
