[cayugabirds-l] Loons
As I stepped out into back yard to catch bus, I just looked up and found loons overhead. There were nine of them fairly low in a tight knit group. So I watched them for a few seconds and almost missed the bus. Luckily driver saw me and stopped the bus :-) Along East Ithaca Recreation Way, between Maple Hill and Game farm way there was my usual Mocking bird. Today he was on a slightly further away tree and called a couple of times as I passed. I replied back as usual. It seems to be kind of we say hello to each other almost everyday. There were several Am robins in equestrian field on fruit trees.

I also saw three very high-flying LOONS flying south over Hospicare (E. King Road on South Hill) this morning about 8 o'clock.
