[cayugabirds-l] Wood Duck at Mud Lock
This afternoon (13 Jan) I found a gorgeous breeding plumage male Wood Duck, apparently the first reported this year in the Cayuga Lake Basin. It was at Mud Lock, which is the outlet of Cayuga Lake, which is a short distance southwest of where NYS-90 crosses US-5 & NYS-20 by the Circle K gas & convenience store close to the Montezuma NWR Visitor Center. The Wood Duck was being very inconspicuous, feeding with a few Mallards among bits of floating debris right next to the upstream end of the lock, and visible from a gravel pull-off along River Road just north of the boat ramp. However, when the ducks saw me fussing with my window-mounted telescope to take a digi-scope photo, they swam out into the river, and the Wood Duck went all the way to the other side, where it was actually more visible. - - Dave Nutter -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

[cayugabirds-l] Wood Duck @ Sapsucker Woods
On this morning's birdy walk (with the rain more bearable than I expected), there was a male wood duck with two mallards at Fuller, seen close from the Owens platform as it slinked behind the reeds. Plenty of activity from jingling tree sparrows, courting mallards, complaining blue jays, made for a pleasant walk. Beaver devastation continues throughout.

Thank you Linda Donna I, too, have missed the reports. I do not have the time to scan both eBird reports the list-serve but prefer the list postings. I realize many of those who use eBird also probably do not have time to use the list-serve. BUT I TRULY APPRECIATE every report, esp. those with all the little side comments. That's what makes the club more like family, willing to share news special highlights which can be very educational. Since I am a nature nut Steve Fast's observations this a.m. were, to me, delightful. Thanks, Steve. Fritzie - Original Message - Donna Scott wrote: Since our erstwhile Club President wrote this...

Cayuga County on Genoa-Venice Townline Road ( the gravel part east of Rt. 34B): A lovely Juvenile Wood Duck quietly swimming around in the somewhat-deep, slow-moving creek that flows underneath the road there. I saw a Wood Duck house on a metal pole, back in the trees on the opposite side of the road, so somebody out there is caring for the Wood Ducks. This little wetland area is crowded with beautiful, lush Joe Pye Weed flowers and Goldenrods. Also saw many barn and some tree swallows zooming back and forth all along my leisurely rural route this evening.

[cayugabirds-l] Wood duck family (OOB?)
Hi, Was traveling between Interlaken and Lodi on Rte 96-A when a wood duck family scurried across the highway, the tiny ducklings strung so close together behind their mother that momentarily it looked like a strange long-tailed wood duck! Traffic on both sides hit the brakes and the family made it safely across. I neglected to see exactly where this was, so not sure if this was in the basin or not, but it was definitely very cute and seemed a bit early for wood ducklings - the ones on the pond near our house are still courting. Then later watched a definitely OOB Mourning Warbler closer to home, a silent female that popped up in a pile of brush by the road while I was looking at something else entirely. Lots of other warblers, vireos migratory thrushes out and about as well. Beautiful day out there!
