I drove by Goetchius this morning just before 8am and found a COMMON LOON in
the same spot as the the one from a week and a half ago. I only spent a few
seconds watching it but it looked healthy.

Yesterday before dusk and before the storms rolled through, a male
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK visited my feeder (first time I've seen it here).
Also over the past week, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS,
CHIPPING SPARROWS, PURPLE FINCHES, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS, in addition to
the
Sapsucker Woods seems to have quieted down overnight. Birding largely with
Bob McGuire and Paul Anderson, I found very few passage migrants (continuing
Yellow-rumped Warblers, a NASHVILLE WARBLER, and some Blue-headed Vireos),
and nothing rare, new, or unusually early. Early-arriving Ovenbirds,
Hi all,
I had an errand in Dryden this morning, so I stopped at some of the usual
spots. Dryden Lake was fairly empty but with a couple interesting birds,
including 2 RUDDY DUCKS, 2 HORNED GREBES, 1 LESSER SCAUP, and 1 RED-BREASTED
MERGANSER. A MAGNOLIA WARBLER was singing from the spruces at
I went to Goetchius at 9:30 and took some hurried shots in bad light, compared
them to my shots of the loon a couple weeks ago (taken on April 15). It looks
to me like it's the same loon, but would be interested to know what others
think. I'm concluding this particularly from looking at the
This AM saw an adult Bald Eagle lift a rabbit carcass off Owasco's west lake
drive and fly off south. Any reports of nearby nests?

I did not see the loon of two weeks ago so I can't speak to any comparisons
with today's bird. However, I too find it hard to believe two loons would make
the same mistake. I'm still wondering just what kind of mistake was made. It
seems unlikely any loon would try to land or take off from
I went over to Lansing this morning to look for the White-Eyed
Vireo. Didn't see him, but I saw a Field Sparrow, Yellow Warbler,
and Catbird. There must have been a hundred Cedar Waxwings.

Beautiful shots, thanks for putting them up. As I suspected, it is hard to
tell what is what with the throat lines. When birds move their feathers don't
move the way it seems they should, and their appearance can change markedly.
It could just be the result of further molt, but the 15 April
Can anyone tell if this bird is suffering the same impairment of its wing as
the original Loon. That may make this call a little easier.
Also, for people who have observed this present Loon and the environs, is
there a greater expanse of water that will allow the bird to take off this
time, if it
