Thanks to Bill for stimulating me to get out of the shop and check the west
side of Cayuga Lake. Beautiful day! No wind; crisp air; I could see all the
way across the lake. No heat shimmer till noon. Sporadic ice until just south
of Taughannock; then open. No ice along the shore on the west side. Lots of
CANADA GEESE and TUNDRA SWANS. I checked as far as Dean's Cove (plowed out!)
and found 2 RED-NECKED GREBES near Sheldrake. Not much of a fallout yet.After
lunch at Connie's Diner in Waterloo, I tried the east side, but found too much
heat shimmer and sun glare. Aurora Bay full of ice (blown in). Big Aythya
flock there. About 12 HORNED GREBES and at least 1 EARED GREBE (ID by
silhouette).I may retry the east side tomorrow early before the snow hits.

Ice cover on Lake Erie was at 93% yesterday. With a cold week and lower wind
speeds in the forecast, perhaps some waterfowl be forced aloft in search of
open water.
