Good numbers of Canada Geese at the Geneva waterfront, but Seneca Lake was rough on moderate SW winds. While passing through Waterloo, the evening gull roost-flight (from the Seneca Falls landfill to Cayuga Lake) was on and I decided to follow it. Lots of other birds moving about and I finally caught up with a Snow Goose raft far out in the lake and viewable for many miles along Lower Lake Rd. Over to Knox-Marsellus Marsh at dusk found it too late to go through the many birds there. These shallow water spots will freeze and the fun will be over.
I've put up a few photos of the Snow Goose group, one taken from the hillside at Cayuga Lake SP and the other from the very south end of Lower Lake Rd. Also a few bill-detail close-ups. There are also some shots illustrating the gull-flock scene at the Savannah mucklands, taken earlier in the week. https://www.flickr.com/photos/krankykestrel/ Sorted by tax-o-nomic group: https://www.flickr.com/photos/krankykestrel/sets/ David Wheeler N.
