Winds have been from the south on Seneca for the past couple of weeks. This morning they were northwest and my Loon Watch did not disappoint. >From 0700 to 0915 I counted around 240 Common Loons. They were vastly outnumbered by gulls also heading south. No doubt I missed some loons within the

Did anyone do a watch on Cayuga today? While the winds weren't all that promising it looked like the last possibility for a good while so for comparison's sake I checked out Seneca Lake at Smith Park. It was dismal. Had 1 between 0715 and 0730 then 13 between 0800 and 0830. By 0900 it began to

The only time I have seen loons in large groups on Cayuga Lake is during migration, but that wouldn't happen till at least the end of October or early November. We can sometimes see a hundred or more spread out on the lake then. Donna Scott Cayuga Lake, Lansing Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loons at inlet?

I agree with Asher and think what you saw were almost certainly Cormorants. They are both fishing birds, diving for their meals like Loons do, and they look very similar. I know they hang out in the area you identified, in a couple of tall trees on the inlet, and also in a deadfall tree
