[cayugabirds-l] 3 SANDHILL CRANES at Montezuma Audubon Center
3 SANDHILL CRANES were spotted by Dave Spier at 11:45am on the Sandpiper Shallows (South Marsh) at the Montezuma Audubon Center. They were eating out of the muddy shalllows vigorously. We were able to put a scope on them from inside the building. As of now they are still here. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma 8Sep10
Matt Medler and I made a quick trip up to Montezuma just now. The FRANKLINS GULL was still out on the mudflats, first in Puddlers then in various spots in Knox-Marsellus. The juvenile RUFF was out with big flocks of yellowlegs and peeps, sometimes hard to pick out in the distance. The RED KNOT was also present, most obvious in flight. The Red-necked Phalarope count has climbed to 10. The juvenile LITTLE BLUE HERON was in the channel to the right from the platform at Mays Point.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Franklin's Gull, Montezuma, Yes
Ann Mitchell and I watched the Franklin's Gull in the same area until dusk. We couldn't verify the Ruff or Knot because of distance and low light. We couldn't find the Little Blue Heron at May's Point. We checked other likely spots with no luck. It could easily still be there just behind the reeds. Duck numbers and variety seemed to have increased at May's.

[cayugabirds-l] Little Blue Heron Franklin's Gull
I looked for the Franklin's Gull for a couple hours from the towpath on this cloudy afternoon with no luck. Then as I was leaving the sun came out so I decided to check Knox-Marcellus from East Road and found it. I first noticed it flying along with shorebirds that got up. I followed it with my scope and when it landed I could see the dark cheeks. The Little Blue Heron was at May's Point Pool this afternoon at 3:50 pm. It was straight out from the viewing platform and then it flew to the right and landed along the far edge. I did not see the Glossy Ibis today.
