Sorry for the late post but yesterday afternoon along Lower lake Road up to Cayuga Lake State park there was a great waterfowl show. 1500+ Tundra swans, 3000 Snow Geese(2 Blue), 2000 Canada geese, 1 Cackling Goose, 120 Pintail, 30 Am Wigeon, several Gadwall and Hooded Mergansers, 35 Common Mergansers and plenty of Mallards and Blacks. The swans were calling constantly. We looked hard for the Eurasian Wigeon previously reported there with no luck. I had read that the Bald Eagles were at mud lock but didn't get that one was actually sitting on the nest already!
Up at Montezuma there were another 300 Tundra Swans on Knox Marcellus and 2 Trumpeter Swans alone on Tschache Pool. 4 No Harriers were visible from the visitor center..
