Spent an hour or 2 driving around north ends of Seneca & Cayuga lakes. Seneca Lake State Park had it's normal mallards & black ducks, along with a female long-tailed duck, several bufflehead, and 1 pair of common mergansers "getting busy" until a GBB gull dived at them. Gulls were mainly ring-billed, with 1 herring, and about 10 greater black-backed. The Egyptian Goose was on the left side of the main drive near the boat launch, just past the office area. (I'll count it as long as it's not in a cage or pen, and is listed in Sibley's). Cayuga Lake St Park had a lot of swans (trumpeters?), mallards, black ducks, common mergansers, 1 great blue heron, and 1 canvasback (male). Canada Geese were at both parks and several fields across the county. A run around the Chiropractic College didn't turn up any snowy owl. --
