Although I believe Annette's is the first report to Cayugabirds-L of Brant in the Cayuga Lake Basin this fall, it turns out several observers have been quietly reporting them to eBird:
100 on 3 Oct at Martens Tract by Shawn Billerman & Mike Harvey 125 on 4 Oct at Stewart Park by Mike Harvey 40 on 10 Oct from Collegetown by Glenn Seeholzer 42 on 11 Oct at Stewart Park by Jessie Barry & Chris Wood Today was a big day for Turkey Vulture migration. I think it was around 2:30-3pm as I drove from Ithaca College to the airport I saw about 100, about 1/5 strung out over south hill to go up the Cayuga Inlet valley, 3/5 in a big kettle over NYS 13 just east of Warren Road, the a few minutes later the other 1/5 working their way south over the airport, Sapsucker Woods and the Northeast neighborhood, plus others during the day. --Dave Nutter On Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 10:23AM, "Annette Finney" <afin...@hospicare.org> wrote: > -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
