Ithaca birds of interest today (12 Nov '09): (Brant) - ZERO. The flock of 16 grazing on Cass Park's Union Fields through 10 Nov was not found. (Thayer's Gull) - ZERO. Not found among Treman Marina gulls mid or late morning nor late afternoon, nor found in a cursory look at Stewart Park late afternoon. Mid morning there was a flock of gulls well out on Cayuga Lake amid shimmer & mirages, so it could easily still be around.
Northern Shoveler - 1 female in lagoon, Stewart Park late afternoon near a dozen Mallards Common Goldeneye - 2 males off Stewart Park, mid morning. First I've seen this fall at this end of the lake. Red-throated Loon - circled over Treman Marina & headed back north, late morning, ID by Andrew Van Norstrand Bald Eaglle - 1 adult perched & flying near Jetty Woods mid & late morning Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1 adult, Treman Marina, late morning American Pipit - 2 in cornstubble field along Poole Road on Ithaca's West Hill mid afternoon. --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/ --
