[cayugabirds-l] hooded mergansers

[Deb Grantham]

A friend of mine and I watched quite a few hooded mergansers on a farm pond off 
of Route 79 west of Ithaca but still in the town of Ithaca this evening 
(private land, I don't want to get more specific than that).

There were probably 18 or 20 total, more males than females and quite a bit of 
courting behavior.

And there's a pond on Sheffield Road near the old Genex buildings that is mowed 
right down to the edge of the pond so no shelter. There've been a pair of 
woodducks the last few days on that pond.
