I hope everyone got to go out and bird today!!! What a gorgeous day!!! Today, 12:15-2:15 Downy, Hairy, Red Bellied Woodpeckers at boatyard feeders at inlet 5-10 bluebirds, goldfinches, and possible Purple Finch (have a blurry picture) in tree with tons of seeds, behind firefighter training area near wood pile Common Mergansers all along inlet and south shore of park 35 GBB gulls 1 Snow Goose 1 hybrid Mallard Bufflehead flotilla I think I heard Cedar Waxwing multiple times; other birds nearby made it hard to be certain.
Yesterday 3:30pm- sunset Common Mergansers (32 female, 5 male) Bufflehead (13 female, 3 male) 2-3 GBB Gulls Hybrid Mallard Near sunset, a massive fish leapt out of the shallow waters. I was able to see its entire head and half of its torso. It leapt immediately beside a Common Merganser raft; they did not flinch for a moment. I would say it was about 3x the size of a Common Merganser, so from head to tail it was about 3+ feet long. -- 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/ --
