[cayugabirds-l] Merritt Island Refuge GBH White Morph
It's definitely not Cayuga basin but I ran into enough locals while there to post this note. Had a Great Blue Heron (aka Great White Heron) white morph at Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge at the north end of the Bio Lab Rd. I don't have posting access to any of the FL birdingonthe.net sites so was hoping someone might be able to repost for me. I don't think they are common that far north (Titusville area). I didn't make a positive id until I reviewed the pics after returning to NY. Spotted on 3/2/12 about 6 PM in the pool next to the drainage pipe (south side of the road). Thanks. -- 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/ --
[cayugabirds-l] more Snow Geese
In case people are still wanting Snow Geese, at 5PM Sat. 6000-7000 flew high over my house on Owasco Lake, flying NW toward Cayuga/MNWR. Earlier in the day there were two separate acre-sized flotillas on Owasco (I don't think the flying geese I saw could be from the same flocks, as they were so high in the sky, as if coming from a distance.)

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker Woods this morning
I led the SSW walk this morning from 9:30 to 11:00. On the pond were three Ring-necked Ducks (1f,2m), five Wood Ducks and at least six Hooded Mergansers. By the feeder on the Wilson Trail a Fox Sparrow was foraging under the bushes affording very satisfying looks to all. Further round the Wilson Trail someone picked out a large buteo-like raptor with a big head to the south relatively low in the sky. We concluded that the available evidence pointed to it being an adult Golden Eagle. I last saw it descending in a shallow stoop. After the walk, I went to Hanshaw Road where I picked it up again further to the south. This time I followed it through the scope for a little while before it disappeared behind the trees going in the direction of Rt 366 and Freese Road. I chased it again, but didn't find it. -Paul -- 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/ --
