On Sunday morning, I took a detour on the way to a midday family gathering in Trumansburg, in hopes of finding the Hudsonian Godwit and other birds. Many others and I failed to find the godwit by the visitor center between 10:00 and 10:45 AM. Here are some birds of interest found en route:
Myers Park (9:00 AM): 2 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS on spit, 1 Osprey foraging above mouth of Salmon Creek Lake Road, Ledyard: 2 or 3 GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS singing in mowed field to south Montezuma NWR: 2 singing CERULEAN WARBLERS on their usual territories near visitor center (one above picnic area, one between start of Wildlife Drive and Seneca River) Cayuga Lake near Varick: one COMMON LOON in non-breeding plumage Mark Chao -- 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 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
