[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca count week
In case there are species of birds within the Ithaca Christmas Bird Count which we miss on count day (1 January 2013), we can add them to our total if we find them in the 3 days prior to or the 3 days subsequent to count day. That started today. Please report any unusual birds starting today so that birders can try to find them on count day, and if that doesn't work, they at least can be count week birds.Yesterday - NOT count week - I saw 2 female Black Scoters and a male White-winged Scoter off Stewart Park, in addition to other waterfowl. They were east of the red lighthouse.At dawn this morning I went to the southwest corner of the lake wondering what I could ID before the gunning started. With today's clouds and snowfall, the answer is nothing. The first fusillade was at 7:09am. There were two parties along the lakeshore at Treman and a guy out on the lake lying on a very low flotation device, eachwith flocks of snow-covered decoys, and a small boat with a couple guys near the docks further north than I was. I also heard shots from the east and northeast. I stayed for an hour. Birding was not easy.Birds I found today for count week included:Canada GooseAmerican Black DuckMallardRedhead - 1 male, but this individual will not be available on count dayRing-Necked Duck - 2 malesGreater Scaup - 1 maleBufflehead - 1 femaleHooded Merganser - wounded bird may remain in the areaCommon Merganser - wounded bird may remain in the areaRuddy Duck - 1 male, several femalesDOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT - 1 swimming and diving to north. Yesterday I saw 4 on near the red lighthouse breakwaterAmerican CootRing-billed GullHerring GullGreat Black-backed GullBELTED KINGFISHERAmerican CrowBlack-capped ChickadeeCarolina WrenAmerican Tree SparrowHouse SparrowNext I went briefly to Stewart Park. I was glad to see more birds, but I didn't add any species and the falling snow made visibility limited.--Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
