[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck Pine Siskin

Spent a lot of time today at Hog Hole (8-11 AM 1-2 PM). Tufted Duck was there, diving frequently, and moving around quite a bit. Usually hanging out with a few Scaup. Was fairly close in this morning, further out in the afternoon. Stopped at the Lab of O, not too much there, but did have a

[cayugabirds-l] Another Hawk Tale

Shortly after noon, a juvenile Sharpie took a couple of runs through our small back yard, doubtless trying to catch an unaware bird at or near the feeders. No luck this time, but I'm intrigued at and delighted by the recent raptor activity! Perhaps it's due to the loss of several outdoor cats

We were about to leave on a Short-eared Owl survey when I looked at the feeders and saw our FOY Common redpolls (2) and Purple Finch (2M1F)! Hope yet for winter finches here. John -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Avian Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Road

I was surprised to see a Great Blue Heron at the edge of open water in the private marina at Myers this afternoon. Unfortunately I surprised it, too- it flew off eastward toward Ladoga as I was driving in the marina road. John Greenly Ludlowville -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club field trip report Jan 24

Thirteen people went out today for a half-day field trip. After a brief stop to look for Peregrine Falcon at Bradfield Hall, with no luck, we headed down to East Shore Park. Here we saw a variety of waterfowl, though not in the huge numbers that have recently been seen. We had good looks at

Got the TUFTED DUCK on my second trip to south end of Cayuga lake. Tried and failed Wednesday. Anyway, bird was first seen by the buoy with Mark Miller and then we lost it for a bit. It reappeared by the docks off rte 89 as seen from Hog Hole. There were plenty of scaup sp and REDHEAD flying back

?I should say I was lucky, finally I got to see the Tufted duck in few glimpses before it every time dived to eat something! Initially, I scanned the flocks but no luck. Joe Wing was standing nearby so I went to ask him if he had seen it recently. Then both of us almost simultaneously saw

Having missed the Tufted Duck yesterday around sunset, unaware that nearby birders out of my view were watching it, I was back at dawn and soon refound the TUFTED DUCK in the flock of REDHEADS and LESSER SCAUP along the lakeshore of Treman, often close to the ice edge, sometimes out toward the
