The only bird of interest on a gorgeous but quiet morning at Myers Point today was a molting female-type RED-BREASTED MERGANSER off the point. It swam over and sat on the rocks by the lighthouse for a few minutes, then continued over and sat on the marina point. Very strange bird here in the summer. Common and Hooded mergansers around as well but no shorebirds.
A couple shots of the merganser: https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Summer2013#5907539237889473986 https://picasaweb.google.com/111137855303614931880/Summer2013#5907539244501308562 -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@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/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
