Much more open water than a week ago up the east side of the lake. Quite a few good opportunities to scope ducks at Harris Park and Mud Lock. There were quite a few Snow Geese swarming around at Mud Lock and resting, but a ways out. The Eagle was on the nest.
Montezuma visitor center was open, as was the wildlife drive. Some open water was to be found on either side of the drive. We saw several groups of Northern Shovelers, quite a few Great Blue Herons. And many, many muskrat huts. There were a lot of Snow Geese at Knox Marcellus and again at the Potato Fields, landed and swarming. Many Vs off on the horizon, too. Hundreds of Tundra Swans were there as well.

We plan to leave at 4.00 pm from Ithaca. Today being a warmer day Snow geese might take off further north. So I don't want to disappoint the kids if the snow geese have already left. So please post your sightings to Cayugabirds or send me an e-mail at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or call me at 607 2298710 to let me know if you see snow geese and where did you see between today and tomorrow. Kids and I would appreciate your information! Thanks in advance.
