Susan Danskin, John Confer, Marty Borko, and I birded around the lake
yesterday. I was fighting a cold, did not take notes, and so do not
remember much besides a few highlights. It was an interesting day,
much of it spent dodging snow squalls.
Stewart Park: Rusty Blackbird on the mud
Some of us spent the day, Sunday, standing on windy, snow-swept
shorelines looking through incredibly large flocks for Ross Geese and
Eurasian Widgeon without success (Well OK, there was the Ross Goose
overhead, but you might have seen it while staying in the car.) Others
stayed at home, slept
Just observed around 3000 snow geese flyover downtown Aurora headed for
west side of lake.

A Common Raven was just calling and circling lazily over the northern end of
the Ithaca airport just a few minutes ago (1pm).
