I saw approximately 300-400 swans on Cayuga Lake near the Village of Cayuga
tonight; probably Tundras. Also thousands of Snow Geese and Canada Geese flew
over Montezuma at sunset ( 5:20 to 5:50 p.m. Snows were flying south on the
western side of Cayuga Lake and landing just off shore directly across from
Cayuga and slightly south. Flock after flock of Canadas were flying southeast
and crossing over the canal slightly north of the Visitor Center.
The swans were on the water gathered just north of the train trestle and
300-400 yards west and northwest of the Cayuga Marina, formerly the Agway
Plant. In addition droves, flock after flock, of blackbirds were migrating
through Montezuma from north to south directly over the parking lot adjacent to
the Visitors Center. It was too dark to make positive identifications but
shapes and flight patterns led me to believe that most were RwBs.
It was a great evening of birding.
