[cayugabirds-l] Bohemian Waxwing
While heading to campus this morning (10:30), there was a single Bohemian Waxwing in a 100+ flock of Cedars along Sapsucker Woods Rd. They were on the E side of the road where there are a large number of red berries, a couple 100 yards S of the curve/corner at the Lab.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma - Dunlin, Greater White-fronted Goose
While in the area, Sara Jane and I stopped by Montezuma yesterday afternoon. Among the waterfowl seen were Mallard, Gadwall, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Scaup (sp.), Ring-necked Duck, and Ruddy Duck. A couple birds of special interest were a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE at Larue's Lagoon and a DUNLIN at the new wet area on the left side of the north end of the first long straight stretch of the Auto Loop (someone needs to give it a name!!!). Isn't this getting a little late for shorebirds to still be here, or has the nice weather caused some individuals to tarry awhile longer? Don't know if we were seeing Cackling Geese, but we noticed considerable size variation among some of the Canada Geese in the new wet area. Some seemed smaller than normal, and there was one individual that was much larger than the rest. Could these differences be due to different subspecies that just happened to be there at the time, or can there be substantial variation like this in a population of a single subspecies? When casually viewing flocks of Canada's in the past, we can't recall ever noticing this much variation in size. Larry -- W.

[cayugabirds-l] Pacific Loon south of Sheldrake Point
About 2PM the Pacific Loon appeared off the west side of Cayuga Lake. I had been searching awhile and seeing Common Loons when it suddenly showed. It stuck around for awhile then disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. Jerry Lazarczyk Grand Island NY Refinance Now 3.4% FIXED $160,000 Mortgage: $547/mo. No Hidden Fees. No SSN Req.
