Highlights from some birding in Cayuga County this morning: The SNOWY OWL found by Donna Scott on Indian Field Road yesterday continues in the same area: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S34558279
Three NORTHERN SHOVELERS and two GREEN-WINGED TEAL continue on the Factory Street pond in Union Springs. More exciting, however, was the male REDHEAD x RING-NECKED DUCK HYBRID hanging out with a female Redhead on the same pond. Photos and some quick notes are here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S34563216 It looks very similar to the other individuals I have seen of this cross, although I was able to see the face pattern and color and wing pattern better than I have before. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for this bird if you are in the area.
