The lake shore at Stewart Park is scattered end to end on Monday morning with AMERICAN PIPITS. There are also more than a few around the parking areas. I also saw a first-year BALD EAGLE and an OSPREY overhead, as well as tight flocks of RING-NECKED DUCKS and BUFFLEHEADS offshore.
(Several years ago under very similar conditions in April, a Little Gull spent the day at Stewart Park with Bonaparte’s Gulls, close to shore. But I found no small gulls during my brief visit today. I think they must be on the lake somewhere…) Mark Chao -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
