RE: [nysbirds-l] Update on ducks at Essex Ferry?

[Joan Collins]

Hi Bert/All,

 

The Tufted Duck was observed at the Essex Ferry Dock location late on
Saturday (posts to Northern New York Birds can be viewed on the ABA website
at: http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY07 ).  The temperature is warming
today and tomorrow, but the ice is so thick, that it probably won't open up
areas outside the ferry channel yet.  On Wednesday, a major winter storm is
forecast for northern NY and Vermont - with the potential of over a foot of
snow!  It will be very cold again on Thursday, so I suspect that the
waterfowl will still be found in the ferry channel - and hopefully, the
Tufted Duck among them!  Best of luck to you!

Hi all,

Has anyone been to the Essex-Charlotte ferry across Lake Champlain lately?
We will be heading up on Wednesday and would like to look for the ducks,
especially the Tufted Duck and Barrow's Goldeneye. 

Thanks!

 2/28/14 Essex Ferry Dock (Essex Co.)



 Late this afternoon, I took a drive to the Essex Ferry Dock on Lake
 Champlain.  About 5 to 10 minutes before the ferry arrived, I found the
 male Tufted Duck among hundreds of other waterfowl.  I took a number of
 photos before the birds flushed as the ferry came in.  The birds came back
 after the ferry departed and I took a few more photos of the Tufted Duck
 before my hands went completely numb!  There were also 2 female Long-tailed
 Ducks.  I didn't spot the male Barrow's Goldeneye today.  I met two very
 nice birders from Vermont who came over on the ferry to observed
 waterfowl.  They said there were quite a few birds on the VT side also -
 including Bufflehead, which were not on the NY side this afternoon.  I took
 80 photos of the Tufted Duck and posted 14 of them to my Facebook page at:
 https://www.facebook.com/AdirondackAvian .  It was a long way out, so my
 scope and iPhone attachment were both fully zoomed!
