Negative: I was at Stewart Park starting at 6:09am (just able to discern silhouette of Great Blue Heron along the shore) until 9:24am. It seemed perfectly normal there to me: Ring-billed, Herring, and Great Black-backed Gulls, hundreds of Double-crested Cormorants, a couple Great Blue Herons, a Green Heron, a Belted Kingfisher, an Osprey, some Canada Geese & Mallards and a few Wood Ducks and Hooded & Common Mergansers. As I was about to leave Gary Kohlenberg wandered in detouring on his way for a cup of coffee. I stayed to keep him company and make sure if he saw the Sabine's Gull that I would, too, but there was no sign of it other than Jane Graves joining us and telling us just how lovely the bird had been, but she did so in a very pleasant way, so that was fine. The only lake-related bird I added during this interval was a flock of Tree Swallows over East Shore Park. Gary was drawn away by some distant source of caffiene, then Jane left about the same time I did, neither of us having found any warblers around the swan pond. If it wasn't for my high regard for the many birders who said they saw a Sabine's Gull there (not over the open ocean) yesterday, I would say it was a vast conspiracy to torture those of us who spent the afternoon in the rain doing the Montezuma muckrace bird-a-thon at the other end of the Cayuga Lake Basin.
