SHORT SAFE SUMMARY: On Tuesday, I saw 6-8 shorebirds about 15-21in tall
with thin bodies and 3 shorter sandpiper-shaped birds standing on the ice
shelf out about 80 yards near the big dead tree on the Taughannok beach
Tuesday. Today (Wednesday), they were all gone, but I did see an
interesting
Yesterday, I took a friend up the west side of the lake and had the
following highlights.
At Newman Golf Course
--in the Inlet: about 6 Pintails
--Redwing Blackbirds in the shrubs on the shore
--6 GW Teal in the middle of the Golf Course among cattail/puddle (5 male,
one femal)
--Great-horned owl
Yesterday, I took a friend birding and saw/video taped the most amazing
behavior I have ever seen. This is probably common (evolved over tens of
thousands of years), but I was in awe to watch it and have only heard about
the communication which takes place in flight with geese flying in

Thanks for the update, Fritzie. I am sad to hear this news, and I wonder
if any former scouts or scout leaders on this list would be willing to
speak up and speak to the scout master who issues the merit. I would think
a merit is earned in such a way that respects the democratic process and
I want to add that we also saw a huge kettle of Turkey Vultures in the
Stevenson Road direction. When we first looked, I saw about ten or so. As
I left the group, I counted at least 50, so hard to count, as there were so
many flying in a tight circle and relatively small diameter and a handful

American Avocet at Montezuma last winter, the Great Horned Owl and her two
chicks, the massive Snow Geese
