[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park - terns and Red-throated Loon

Stewart Park was cold and rainy today late morning, as expected. Highlights were two (and a possible third) COMMON TERNS moving around offering occasional good looks and an adult RED-THROATED LOON straight out (eventually moving towards the east shore), looking odd in almost full winter plumage

Finally had some time to go through my images and choose some pictures of the peregrine falcon pair to share with the listserv. As Dave mentioned, I was at Stewart Park yesterday morning, had gone there after dropping my daughter off at school, as I'd seen Dave's email about the peregrine. I
