This afternoon Luke, Jessie and I went up the west side of the Cayuga Lake and focused our efforts along Lower Lake Road on the NW side of the lake. There are tens of thousands of birds with huge numbers of Snow Geese. Most pintail are now in the mucklands and Mallard, Black Duck and Common Merganser numbers have gone down since last weekend. Still, the number of birds is spectacular. The rarest species we found was a male EURASIAN WIGEON that Jessie found mixed in with Redhead. We highly recommend eating at Woolfys and enjoying the view from the deck. The people who work there were very hospitable and the viewing in the afternoon is simply spectacular.
To find Woolfys open google and type "Woolfys Cayuga Lake".
