At 4 PM there were two pairs of Long-tailed Ducks (did the Bald Eagles scare up
a second one?), plus the Scaup, Ring-necked Ducks, Buffleheads, and some
dabblers.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Long-tailed ducks at Dryden Lake
Hi everyone,
This morning I took a walk at Dryden Lake and am happy to say that the lake is
ice free. I found a flock of ring-necked ducks and scaup, and with them a pair
of long-tailed ducks. The flock flew off the lake after one of the local bald
eagles came too close, but they circled around and were still on the lake when
I left this morning. There's also three horned grebes and a scattering of
mergansers, bufflehead, and a few other ducks (wigeon, wood duck, mallards).
The Jim Schug trail is free of ice and it makes for a pleasant walk. Even heard
my first eastern phoebe for the year along it.
Happy birding!
Kevin
