This morning, about 1100, Susie & I were gassing up at the Kwik-Fill on Elmira Rd., preparatory to zipping up to the Colonial Lodge for fresh lake perch and an afternoon touring Bear Swamp, when we espied an adult GOLDEN EAGLE slowly circling with a southward drift in the direction of Ithaca College.
At Bear Swamp, we saw a juvenile BALD EAGLE over the large wetland area along the dirt road leading east from the Colonial Lodge. And quite a few RAVENS about-2 observed in tandem flight maneuvers, which they broke off to mildly harass the eagle. And almost home, we found a MERLIN perched in a tree along Boiceville Rd., in Brooktondale. S. & S.
