[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull at Cayuga Lake State Park

[Sandy Podulka]

My daughter, Lisa, spotted a Glaucous Gull from the boat launch at 
Cayuga Lake State Park this afternoon (2nd winter, we think), in a 
huge flock that included many Ring-billed Gulls and Herring Gulls, 
and a few Great Black-backed Gulls, and one that looked like a Lesser 
Black-backed (but remained tucked and far out on the water).

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull

[Matthew Medler]

Hi All,

For those interested in Seneca Lake and Schuyler County birding, there is a 
nice flock of gulls at Clute Park in Watkins Glen that contains an adult 
Glaucous Gull and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. These two species are both 
infrequently reported here in Schuyler County.

Good birding,
Matt Medler

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous gull at Stewart Park

[Paul Anderson]

The birding at Stewart Park this morning was enormously satisfying. It was 
chilly but beautifully clear, and very still. Among the usual suspects were a 
Glaucous Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, 2 Bonaparte's Gulls, Red-breasted 
Mergansers, Ruddy Ducks, Green-winged Teal. And I got my FOY Tree Swallow. See 
ebird for the full list.

Then in Renwick Woods, the crows alerted me to the resident Great-horned Owl.

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Red-throated Loon

[Dave Nutter]

This morning from the lakeshore of Allan H Treman State Marine Park I saw a 
juvenile RED-THROATED LOON on Cayuga Lake somewhere between the piling cluster 
and East Shore Park or a bit farther north. 
On the red lighthouse breakwater a juvenile GLAUCOUS GULL was resting along the 
east edge near the second light post from the south. It appeared rather dusky 
gray on the back, rump, tail, and undertail coverts, but cream above with a 
fine pattern of light brown. The dark eye appears small and outlined in white. 
The wingtips are plain white. The bill is huge, straight, and pink with a black 
tip. The bird is far larger than the nearby Herring Gulls, but it may be 
inconspicuous tucked down in a dip in the similar colored concrete of the 
breakwater.
Duck diversity was a bit down.

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull and hybrid at compost

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Finally, I had an interesting gull at the compost in 2016. I've done 13 crow 
censuses out there this year, and have had lots of Herring and Great 
Black-backed gulls, but only a few individual Ring-billed Gulls and a 1cy 
Lesser Black-backed Gull to add to that. Today I had an adult GLAUCOUS GULL, 
first loafing in the field above the piles, then actively feeding on the piles. 
It's probably the same bird that I've seen at Stewart Park, and the same one 
that Jay saw at the compost in January. But, it's my first white-winged gull at 
the compost in 2016.

I also had what I believe to be a so-called "Nelson's Gull," a hybrid of 
Herring and Glaucous gull. It was a  2nd or 3rd cycle bird. Big, flat head, 
sharply bicolored bill. It had some mantle feathers coming in, which were 
whiter than surrounding Herring Gulls. Wing tips were dark but silverish with 
pale edges. Again lighter then nearby Herring Gulls. There are always Herring 
Gulls around that are very similar, including the non-black wingtips, but this 
one had mostly white tertials and greater secondary coverts that looked 
different. I found several 1st or 2nd cycle Herrings with similar coverts, but 
not the whole Glaucousy package.

Perhaps the coolest birds were the two immature BALD EAGLES that terrorized the 
compost crowd for a while. Both eagles were flying over at same time. Both very 
white in body and wings, one with a darker head. They were distinguishable, but 
they looked so much alike one wonders if they are siblings traveling together. 
We still have so much to learn about animal movements and associations!

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous gull (was) at Stevenson road field

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

Hi all,

I went to look for Repolls and I did see them. Then I went to Mt Pleasant where 
I saw a single Turkey with a long hanging beard. On the way back to BTI, I 
drove  through Stevenson road and  in the fields there were lots of gulls. So I 
stopped to scan them. And there it was beautiful white plumaged Glaucous Gull! 
I am seeing one after a long time. All the birds took off at one point and the 
Glaucous flew into the compost piles while some other returned to the field.


Cheers
Meena

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull in Waterloo

[M Miller]

Just wanted to clarify that I was referring to the lock in Waterloo, along 
route 96 in the Village. There is also a viewing platform on the east end of 
Oak Island, the picnic/boat launch area at the south end of Oak St (next to the 
Community Center). To get to Oak St, head west on 5 & 20 from the downtown 
route 96 intersection for 2 blocks and turn left (south) onto Oak St. The 
street is only 1 block long and ends at Oak Island. The Glaucous Gull was in 
with a mixed group of about 20-30 RB, Herring, GBB gulls. Photos can be seen at 
Eaton Birding Society fb page.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

[Dave Nutter]

From north of Treman Marina the immature Glaucous Gull was still visible on the ice east of the white lighthouse until 5:27pm when it flew north along with other gulls. It's on my Luddite List, along with the adult Iceland Gull which I saw fly past East Shore Park this morning. My legs are tired after about 9 miles of walking. Bonus rare sighting: a hockey game on the frozen Flood Control Channel just downstream of the NYS-89 bridge.--Dave NutterOn Jan 25, 2014, at 03:47 PM, Brendan Fogarty  wrote:In addition, there was an adult Iceland Gull quite close the Glaucous Gull.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

[Brendan Fogarty]

In addition, there was an adult Iceland Gull quite close the Glaucous Gull. The 
wingtips appeared entirely white, although it was observed from a considerable 
distance.

Nearly seven thousand diving ducks were off of Hog's Hole, and were not amused 
by the presence of a young Bald Eagle.

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

[Dave Nutter]

About 3:30pm today (8 March), just as I was starting a class with home-schoolers at Stewart Park, I found a beautiful all-white immature GLAUCOUS GULL in the very shallow lake water near shore where the usual 3 gull species were resting. Shortly afterward all the gulls took flight for unknown reasons, and after they resettled I did not see it again. Not all the kids had even arrived, and only a few got to see it through my scope, but still it was pretty cool to show them an obviously different gull and explain how it was so uncommon here. After my class broke up I met Jeff Gerbracht scanning through the gulls: no Glaucous, but he did find a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL.

the center of Stewart Park. A 3rd-cycle Lesser Black-backed was reported
two days ago, but I have not seen it.

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull, Stewart Park

[Dave Nutter]

At Stewart Park this afternoon about 2:15pm I found a monstrous white immature GLAUCOUS GULL on the ice, the only unusual bird I could pick out among the RING-BILLED, HERRING, and GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS. It was alternately resting and bullying the Herring Gulls. I also traipsed around in Fuertes Sanctuary with Ann Mitchell and Gary Kohlenberg and eventually found a GREAT HORNED OWL perched in a nook high in a tree. I'm not sure if the hollowed out space is big enough for nesting, which ought to be happening about now, but we saw no nest.In the morning I was among several people who went to Stewart Park, East Shore, Myers, and Elaina's searching for Chris & Jessie's Black-legged Kittiwake without definitive success, so far as I've heard. Thank-you, Tim Lenz, for posting to Cayugabirds-L early. I will work on recreating a text-message rare bird alert system.We did see several BONAPARTE'S GULLS around the south end of Cayuga Lake and several AMERICAN PIPITS at Myers Point and along the lakeshore of Treman Marine Park. Bob McGuire and I also saw the BROKEN-BILLED COMMON LOON at Ladoga.--Dave Nutter

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull & Red-breasted Mergansers East Shore Park (Ithaca)

[Elaina McCartney]

Light continues to be very good for viewing, also from the SW corner of the 
west shore, and probably from the tip of Treman Park.  The ice edge is further 
out today.  There remains a large gathering of waterfowl just to the west of 
the red lighthouse jetty, and that was probably visible to Chris et al. from 
the East Shore, although they might not be visible from Stewart Park because of 
being blocked by the jetty itself.

I have had a Golden-crowned Kinglet coming regularly just outside my window to 
pick up suet crumbs dropped by the woodpeckers.  Today a second Kinglet showed 
up (simultaneously) that had a more orange crown.  The regular bird may be a 
female, or I suppose it could be a "pale male".

A Great Blue Heron flew over about an hour ago, moving from NE to SW.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull & Red-breasted Mergansers East Shore 
Park (Ithaca)

Location: East Shore Park
Observation date: 1/18/11
Notes: A lunchtime stop to check for ducks and gulls. Highlights included a 
GLAUCOUS GULL and two RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS. OBSERVERS: Chris Wood, Jeff 
Gerbracht, Tim Lenz and Nate Senner. WEATHER: Unusually warm and EXCELLENT 
viewing conditions without a trace of heat waves. This made if easy to see and 
identify birds even on the far side of the lake.  Overcast with 15% blue sky.

34 °F (1 °C)
Humidity:   79 %
Wind Speed: S 7 MPH
Barometer:   29.79" (1010.0 mb)
Dewpoint: 28 °F (-2 °C)
Wind Chill:28 °F (-2 °C)
Visibility:10.00 mi. (no heat waves; beautiful!!)
Number of species: 18

Canada Goose 2400 Most birds on far shore. Very rough estimate by 100s.
Tundra Swan 3 **Uncommon in winter (continuing birds off of Stewart 
Park).
Gadwall 9 Five on the close shore and 4 on the far shore.
American Black Duck 22 There may have been more tucked into the tight 
concentration of Mallards on the far shore.
American Black Duck x Mallard (hybrid) 1 May have been more 
hybrids--distance made ID a bit challenging.
Mallard 275 Estimated by groups of 25.
Canvasback 220 Estimated by 5s. All birds on far shore, mostly 
northwest of Hog Hole. Numbers are certainly growing in the last week.
Redhead 4000 Very rough count. Nate counted ca. 1000 on this shore and 
it seemed that there were well over 3000 on the far shore. Given the very poor 
attempts at counting, am keeping with a very conservative 4000. Numbers are 
certainly growing in the last week.
Greater Scaup 1 Only one seen, but many birds distant on far shore and 
densely packed flocks of Redhead made seeing scaup challenging.
Lesser Scaup 35 All but one distant on far shore and densely packed 
flocks of Redhead made seeing scaup challenging.
Common Goldeneye 75
Common Merganser 95 Counted by 5s with scope.
Red-breasted Merganser 2 Two adult males swimming near each other on 
the middle/far side of the lake.
Red-tailed Hawk 1 Adult off Stewart Park.
Ring-billed Gull 20
Herring Gull (American) 130
Glaucous Gull 1 *Uncommon. Jeff first found this bird in flight over 
the middle of the lake, almost straight out from East Shore. Landed on lake 
where we all had scope views. Seemed to be a second-cycle bird with a couple 
grayish feathers on scapulars and plainer wing coverts, but bird was fairly 
distant and could have simply been a less well-marked first-cycle.
Great Black-backed Gull 43
American Crow 5

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull - Dryden

[Tom Johnson]

Cayugabirders,
A "new" Glaucous Gull (1st cycle) was at the Stevenson Rd. compost
piles in Dryden today.  Aside from a few hundred Redhead in the
southeast corner of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca and 2 Snow Geese at Myers
Point in Lansing, things were pretty quiet.
Cheers,
Tom

[cayugabirds-l] glaucous gull

[Dave Nutter]

A /The immature white GLAUCOUS GULL was on Cayuga Lake 
this morning (Fri 12 Feb) north of the cluster of pilings and visible 
in the shimmer scoping from East Shore Park and Stewart Park, 
but presumably easier to see from Treman Marine Park or the west shore.

[cayugabirds-l] Glaucous Gull

[bob mcguire]

There was a single GLAUCOUS GULL on the ice edge in the SE corner of  
the lake among the black-backed, Herring, and Ring-billed Gulls. Until  
an ice fisherman arrived at 8:30 and chased them away.


The two Long-tailed Ducks were also visible from the marina.
