Re: [cayugabirds-l] Blue-winged Teal / Myers Point

[Jay McGowan]

There were over 200 Blue-winged Teal at Stewart Park just now (5pm), over a
hundred along the shore concentrated at the far southeast corner, then a
flock of roughly 90 very far out on the lake. Almost no other waterfowl
species though. An early Horned Grebe was still present.

[cayugabirds-l] Blue-winged Teal / Myers Point

[Duane]

I had a very large flock (58) of Blue-winged Teal drop down at Salt Point /
Myers Point (Lansing) this morning.  Quite a sight to see as they came
flying in.  I don't ever remember seeing a flock like this before.

When I explored previous Tompkins County records, the checklists with
similar high numbers referred to great migration days at Stewart Park.
Makes me wonder what the remainder of today and tomorrow will be with the
change in weather.

Good birding all.
