There's been a bit of discussion about the Finger Lakes freezing over, as well as the Great Lakes, on the Cayuga Birds list in recent weeks. I came across this article from one of the channel 9 (Syracuse) weathermen, which indicates that the Great Lakes, as of last Friday, had more than 79% of their surface area frozen. > Great Lakes Freezing Over: Dave Eichorn's Blog > http://bit.ly/1gcubdX
Where do all the birds go? Lake Ontario is only about half frozen, so maybe they go there. You'll notice in the photo that Cayuga and Seneca are not frozen. Not sure why they don't freeze over, too. And, no, they are not deeper than the Great Lakes, except for Erie. (This is kind of bugging me, so let me know if you have a good answer!) -Liisa Liisa Mobley Sent from my iPhone -- 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/ --
