Weather forecast is for Northwest wind and low temperatures. So hopefully we will have a decent flight tomorrow. Many loons have accumulated on the lake so earlier part of the morning might be better.
On Saturday, November 14, Wes Blauvelt will lead a Loon Watch at Taughannock State Park, from 7 am to 9 am. Every year, thousands of migrating Common Loons pass over Cayuga Lake on their way south. The numbers are especially concentrated shortly after dawn during the month of November. We will meet at the north end of Taughannock State Park, where Taughannock Creek enters the lake (we'll watch from south of the creek). If coming from Ithaca, enter the park (lake side) before crossing the bridge over Taughannock Creek and park at the north parking lot near the point. Other migrating waterfowl, including Brant, Long-tailed Ducks and scoters may also be seen from this location. Participants should dress very warmly, as standing by the lake with a North breeze can be very cold. For more information about these field trips, contact Wes Blauvelt at wwblauvelt at gmail.com or Meena Haribal at mmh3 at cornell. edu. Both field trips are open to all.
