I led a paddle last evening for 15 folks at the north end of Cayuga Lake. The tranquil waters and calm air made for an enjoyable evening to bird and watch the sunset. OSPREY were fishing, one adult BALD EAGLE flew over the nest at Mud Lock, BARN SWALLOWS, BANK SWALLOWS and TREE SWALLOWS were abundant, and MARSH WRENS were calling from the marsh. Two unusual summer ducks were found on the shore next to the Mud Lock dam...one male COMMON GOLDENEYE and one female RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. The BUFFLEHEAD I found in the Cayuga Seneca Canal on Sunday was not relocated.
