Yesterday (Sun 8 Nov) I went up the west side of the lake and to the Montezuma area. Despite seeing many mostly distant COMMON LOONS I was unable to convince myself that any were other species despite meeting a party from Syracuse in the Sheldrake area who said that just a few minutes earlier they had seen a/the Pacific Loon. In that same area Bob McGuire mentioned having a poor look at a swallow flying away across the lake, which may have been a/the Barn Swallow. Unusual birds which I saw included:
16 BRANT grazing on Union Fields in Cass Park 1 adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL at Dean's Cove 1 GREATER YELLOWLEGS at the Montezuma NWR Visitors' Center 1 adult NORTHERN SHRIKE on East Road --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
