Susan, Judy, and I went around the lake today. Of note at East Shore were GREAT-CRESTED CORMORANTS, RUDDY DUCKS, and REDHEADS. At Myers we met up with Jay McGowan. At Long Point there was a huge raft of SNOW GEESE in the middle of the lake. Aurora Boathouse yielded 3 HORNED GREBES and some GOLDENEYES. Mill Pond at Union Springs had GADWALL, AMERICAN WIGEON, REDHEADS, and a couple BUFFLEHEADS. The main species at Mudlock were HOODED MERGANZERS - 80 of them. The highlight was the Mucklands- 3 SNOWY OWLS (one being a juvenile female I think), 300 TUNDRA SWANS, 30 SANDHILLS CRANES, 2 NORTHERN HARRIERS, and 3 BALD EAGLES. We had a Tom Johnson sighting on Morgan Road. It is always a pleasure to see him. He pointed out a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK. Susan found a CACKLING GOOSE at Cayuga State Park. The last stop was the Creamery which was a unanimous decision! Good Birding,
