Hi all, This morning Myers Point had eight times the birders but about a tenth the birds as yesterday. Before I arrived Bob McGuire had the Red-throated Loon on the lake to the south of the spit, but we didn't relocated it after the fog rolled in. He also had a flock of Brant, but no more moved by while I was there, only several large flocks of cormorants. We did have two WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS flying north, a flyby DUNLIN, also heading north, a BONAPARTE'S GULL heading up the lake, six HORNED GREBES north of the point, and lots of COMMON LOONS moving south fairly high. We also had several flocks of SCAUP flying south (notably, I saw no Aythya amongst the waterfowl yesterday), and a pair of RING-NECKED DUCKS circled the point.
I checked Salt Point briefly afterwards, and although I did not find Ken's Baltimore Oriole (apparently seen again yesterday), I did see a bright and late TENNESSEE WARBLER along the main road there. A quick scan from Sapsucker Woods just now produced a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK heading south over the airport but little else in the sky. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
