Re: [cayugabirds-l] Myers Point Red-necked Grebe

[Gladys Birdsall]

Apologies for my garbled message yesterday about the female White-winged 
Scoter at Myers.  Not sure what happened-tried sending from my phone.

I was at Myers with the CC Bird Study Group (8:30 am) and we did observe 
a female White-winged Scoter straight out from the point. It was 
close-in for great looks through our scopes.    We also had a Horned 
Grebe close in for really nice views.  Very colorful in the morning 
sunshine.
