Jessie and I went to Myers for about an hour this morning. There were a few birds moving up the lake including 2 Red-necked Grebes, 1 Horned Grebe, a few Common Loons, 26 Red-breasted Mergansers and a few cormorants and scattered bands of Tree Swallows.
The most unexpected bird was a first-year Iceland Gull, which is only the third that I have seen at Myers (and also the latest I have seen in Tompkins County). The complete list with notes is at the link below. By late tonight, I'll have photos embedded. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S10396015 Chris Wood eBird & Neotropical Birds Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, New York http://ebird.org http://neotropical.birds.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/[email protected]/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/ --
