Hi Everyone,
Since I first reported the eagles on the nest on February 13, I have checked
the nest four times and each time the one adult was holding tight on the nest.
Today, the second adult was perched nearby. Hope to be able to report
increased activity in a week or so as an indication
About 35 days.

Hi Everyone,
I saw approximately 300-400 swans on Cayuga Lake near the Village of Cayuga
tonight; probably Tundras. Also thousands of Snow Geese and Canada Geese flew
over Montezuma at sunset ( 5:20 to 5:50 p.m. Snows were flying south on the
western side of Cayuga Lake and landing just off shore directly
This morning I checked on the George Road pond that is just west of Dryden and
found it partially open and with waterfowl. Most surprising was a trio of
NORTHERN SHOVELERS (2 males, 1 female). I also saw 5 RING-NECKED DUCKS, 14
NORTHERN PINTAILS, a pair of HOODED MERGANSERS, and 5 Killdeer.
Hooray!!! I've just been out in this tumultuous weather listening to repeated
skydance music from a woodcock in the field north of our house. The wind is so
strong (and cold) I could hear it do the twittering ascent to circle overhead,
and then the chirping descent, for 7 cycles, but couldn't
I also heard a woodcock in the wind tonight, both wing-flight and ground call.
This is a month earlier than my personal notes show over the last 13 years for
where I live.
