Tuesday, June 29 I watched from my yard on Wyers Point Road, an immature Bald Eagle. It flew back and forth along the shoreline of Cayuga Lake. It wanted to land but had to circle around and around as a crow and several smaller birds were chasing it. It did succeed and I did not see it again, through the trees. I believe it was after a dead fish as one was seen floating earlier. Last year there was a Bald Eagle that made a habit of sitting on a dead tree branch, near here and along the lakeshore. He was seen catching fish from the lake. To have Eagles along here has been only for the past several years, that I know of. I think they are migrating up from Montezuma Wildlife Refuge at the end of the lake.
