On Thursday, I saw a flock of several thousand snow geese, circled over Iradell Road, Trumansburg a couple of times before heading off north.
On Friday, from my place on Sheffield Road, Ithaca (west of Ithaca, Ithaca/Enfield townline), I saw several hundreds rise up just above the tree line to the east so I assume they were on the lake and flew up and then flew down out of sight. And yesterday, I saw a flock of hundreds heading southeast over Sheffield Road. Today, I saw a flock of a few hundred over Sheffield Road and heading southwest.

Had a flock (I assume the same one) fly over our house in Lansing about 5 times this morning. Wondering if they were trying to go to Myers area and deciding against it but couldn't find anything they liked off the lake. Had a couple hundred snow geese and a couple separate flocks of Canadas near Trumansburg. Snow Geese headed north and Canada flocks headed south. The first flock of Canadas were still jostling for position as they flew over.

They were seen from the NW side of the Kendal (Cayuga Hts) loop sidewalk , and were west of the west side Kendal property line.
