The ice edge at Sodus has receded so far into the bay that much of the action is beyond scope range. Female King Eider continues and an adult male Surf Scoter finally showed up.
Over at the Geneva waterfront, not much change. By far the most unexpected bird was an Egyptian Goose grazing in the grass all alone at Seneca Lake SP. This is an incredibly beautiful bird and highly recommended even though presumed an escapee from captivity. Photo on my (not used nearly enough) Flickr page at the link below. A good sunset fly-in of Canada Geese also took place with 2000-3000 birds. I wasn't in position early enough to properly monitor it and didn't come up with anything unusual.
