Hi all,
Monday and Tuesday produced no loon movement. It came down to yesterday's

The second wave was virtually nonexistent, with no loons from Lake Ontario.
The highlight this morning was four Red Crossbills
Today was incredible…after thinking that the buildup of loons moved
through yesterday, I did not anticipate today to surpass yesterdays
count, but it did…by a lot! The total count was 2,112 (South) and 231
(North). The first wave off Cayuga Lake commenced quickly with 150

Hi all,
Today’s northwesterly winds produced the first notable push of Common Loons
over Cayuga Lake. In total, Bill Evans and I counted 415 flying south and 25
