The EURASIAN WIGEON was still in Knox-Marsellus this afternoon, towards the south side of the marsh viewed from East Road. We found another male EURASIAN WIGEON in the mostly Aythya flock at the north end of Cayuga Lake viewed from the north bend of Lake Rd. in Canoga, north of Cayuga Lake State Park. Otherwise nothing of note around Montezuma other than unnaturally high numbers of dabbling ducks and blackbirds.
