Hi all, I will be leading a full-day field trip for the Cayuga Bird Club on Saturday, November 19, meeting in the close parking lot at the Lab of Ornithology at 7:30am and carpooling up the lake, returning some time in the late afternoon. We will plan on stopping at a few places along the lake to look for winter water birds, and then continue up to Montezuma to see what's around up there. Scoters, loons, and grebes of various kinds are likely on the way up, and Montezuma could have cranes, Snow and Ross's geese, a variety of waterfowl, perhaps some lingering shorebirds, and the potential for much more.
The trip is open to the public - you do not have to be a club member to participate! If you come, dress warmly. The forecast right now looks pleasant enough (sunny and in the 50s), but it is always cold on the lake this time of year. A scope is helpful for this kind of birding, but don't worry if you don't have one, we will share. Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you there! -Jay -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
