I took a short walk over at Dryden Lake, and found an interesting collection of
ducks on an otherwise cold December day. There were 6 American wigeon, together
with buffleheads, common and hooded mergansers, and a collection of mallards.
Wigeon haven't been reported in eBird at Dryden Lake
I was just about to head down to the lake cliff/shore by my house to see if
there were any other kinds of ducks or fowl in with a bunch of redheads and
ringnecks, when the train pulling big noisy empty coal cars from power plant
came tooting down the track!
Then it parked in front so I cannot
That's where we are. But the female and ducklings that I see are not black.

Lots of ducks (and geese) on the move today. I spent a half hour at Myers this
morning. Salmon Creek is high, with thick, chocolaty water. Killdeer calling in
the background and a small number of gulls still around. But mainly I noticed
ducks flying up the lake. One group of 5 BLACK SCOTERS.

On Tuesday afternoon (5 March 2013) there was still a flock of hundreds of REDHEADS near the docks by the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake. Mixed in were a few RING-NECKD DUCKS and LESSER SCAUP, 4 GREATER SCAUP, 1 CANVASBACK, and at least 20 RUDDY DUCKS. Out in the lake were 11 HOODED MERGANSERS
Yesterday afternoon in front of my house just north of Hog Hole, all
that was left of the thousands of waterfowl that have gathered every
day were 43 American Coots, apparently not minding the gunfire.
There had been regular Tundra Swans (about 20) and Redheads (more
than 1500), a scattering
A late-morning / early-afternoon walk revealed that the southwest part of
Cayuga Lake pretty well had the birds cleared out of it. The only Aythya I saw
there were a couple of male Redhead carcasses held by one of half a dozen
gunners in camo who had set up with a couple of grounded boats and
17 matches
