There was deep slush everywhere at my house yesterday, and it was hard work for my elderly dog to struggle through, so I took her for a long leisurely walk at Taughannock Point.
There was a Snow Goose at the north point that had an injured wing. It paddled north toward Frontenac, forestalling a capture attempt by park staff. Before heading home I stopped at the dirt turnout along Gorge Road around 5:15 pm to look across the gorge at the cliff just below the overlook Visitors Center. As I watched, an adult Peregrine flew to a snag that hangs downward from the cliff-top. A minute later, the second adult flew in and settled on a ledge just behind the snag. -Geo -- 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/ --
