The wildlife drive at Montezuma was a little sparse, few ducks & Canada Geese (A. Wigeon, Gadwall, Shovelers, Black Ducks, Mallards, GW Teal, N. Pintail, & Coots). Also had Pectoral (& Semipalmated?) Sandpipers at Benning Marsh and a Peregrine Falcon near the spillway. Knox-Marsellus/Puddlers had lots of ducks & geese (Canada & Snow) didn't see the Ross's or the 15 Sandhill Cranes that were there Thu PM. (Also about a dozen Swans, 3 Trumpeters, & rest too far to be sure, may have been Tundra).
Drove around Seneca Lake State Park and Chamber of Commerce in Geneva this afternoon, Bufflehead, C. Mergansers, Mallards, Blacks, Ruddy, A. Goldeneye, pair of Mute Swans, C. Geese, and 7 Horned Grebes. The highlight of the day was seeing Eagles everywhere I went, including downtown Geneva - about 15 total, mostly mature. FYI the resident Ring-neck Duck is still at Mud Lock (along with 1 eagle). -- 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/ --
