[cayugabirds-l] Myers, Stewart: Black Scoters, Red-throated Loon
This morning was finally decent for lake birding on Cayuga Lake. A watch at Myers early didn't yield anything amazing, but a few things were moving, including Bufflehead, both scaup, 2 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, and 14 dark-winged scoters. Chris Wood found two BLACK SCOTERS off Stewart Park that I did not see a few minutes ago, but I did find a raft of 34 BLACK SCOTERS, all female-types, out on the lake to the north of East Shore Park (best viewed from the railroad crossing to the north), and Tim just reported 70 Black Scoters flying around that same area. A beautiful juvenile RED-THROATED LOON and two female-type WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS were out on the water at the railroad crossing as well, and I saw the first big push of Common Loons at Myers in the morning, as well as another Red-throated that landed out on the lake too distant to see. I didn't have any Brant and only a few Canada flocks moving, and no shorebirds or interesting gulls (save a flyover Lesser Black-backed at Myers.) A single Tree Swallow was foraging out over the lake, and a few HORNED GREBES were out on the water to the north and to the south. Gadwall have been turning up over the last couple of days, and at least nine are currently on the back pond at the Lab of Ornithology, as well as several offshore from Stewart Park. The Ruddy Duck count at Stewart is up over 40, and Buffleheads are also starting to accumulate. -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- 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] Probable Snipe at East Hill Equestrian fields
Today morning while on the bus, I saw a shorebird sitting next to a Ring-billed Gull and sunning itself. I think by the giss it was a Snipe. In afternoon there were 26 Turkey Vultures circling in the sky, visible from my office!

[cayugabirds-l] Loons
I had a late appointment in Aurora this afternoon so I made a quick stop at the boathouse parking lot. One scan across the water not blocked by tree branches yielded 58 C. Loons. I thought I saw a Red-throated Loon in the distance, but wasn't sure because of the poor view. It may portend a fine day of lake scanning on Saturday.
