Tim and I checked a few places around the lake yesterday, mostly seeing
what has already been reported. However, we did find large flocks of Snow
Geese on the lake. From the bluffs on Lake Road in Aurora, we spotted a
huge, white mass near the opposite side of the lake that we assumed were
Snow Geese. Later, we spotted two flocks from Dean's Cove. One of the
flocks was in the air, which at that moment was foggy with light snow,
making the geese look like giant, swirling snowflakes. One of the flocks
was also visible from Rt. 89 just north of Romulus.
In Mud Lock, we saw a large, dark mass of ducks in bad light. All the ducks
I could make out were Gadwall, but I could only identify a dozen or so. The
rest were backlit and pretty far. None were visible from Harris Park, just
south of Mud Lock, though.
We also found 4 Horned Grebes near the boathouse in Aurora and three
Red-breasted Mergansers in Sheldrake.
