Snow Geese are migrating through the Corning area tonight. I heard flock
after flock between 21:00 and Midnight. I was even at Wegmans in Corning, NY
at 22:30 when two small flocks of about 70 birds each flew low over the
parking lot. They were circling and the lights from the parking lot lit them
Our Chemung Valley Audubon group was at Knox-Marcellus when all the Snow
Geese took off from the mucklands. When we arrived at the Potato building,
there was only one Snow Goose to be seen, the one that four young hunters
carried back to their rendezvous point at the Potato Building. It looked

As I mentioned before, Tim Lenz, Hope Batcheller, and I took a trip around
the lake today. Most of what we saw has already been posted, including the
hybrid Aythya at Stewart Park (still there at dusk); RED-NECKED, EARED, and
HORNED GREBES in Aurora (and Pied-billed in Aurora made four grebes); an
Hi all,
I went to north side of the lake, specially in search of Snow Geese. I was not
disappointed. Along the Drake Road, I found some tom Turkeys under usual
feeders. Center Road was quiet except for couple of Horned Larks. But as I was
passing the road, I encountered my first flock of Snow G
Just for the record, there were NO gulls at the compost piles on Stevenson
today, at least between 10:30 and 1:30. Not sure where they were, or where
Ken's flyover came from. Wish I knew.
Only other birds of note that I can offer for the day are a HORNED GREBE and
calling EASTERN TOWHEE at St
At 6:26 this evening I heard the peenting of a Woodcock in our upper field. At
last it is snowless! I know they've been waiting. But today is a perfect
Woodcock dancing day.

I didn't get outside today until late afternoon (4 PM) but did an hour of
skywatching from my back deck -- and caught the tail end of today's migration.
Best bird was a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL among scattered HERRING and many
RING-BILLED GULLS -- not sure if these were migrants or late afternoo
Hi all,
It was a terrific morning on Mount Pleasant today with a constant stream of
birds. Kevin McGowan joined me not too far into the flight. I was hoping for a
Golden Eagle and ended up with two, one immature and one adult. I saw the
youngster before Kevin showed up, but he found the adult a
While the Cayuga Bird Club trip this morning was small in participant
numbers, just Bob McGuire and myself, we did find a very nice variety of
birds. This was a half day trip, and we went up the east side of the lake
to Mud Lock, at which time we split up, Bob heading farther north and I

I see them perched on a floating log just west of the cluster buoy.

Went out with the dog and took the binocs looking for snow geese (didn't see
them yet) or what else might be arriving.
Instead spotted several large lumps in the 70' basswood in the neighbors yard
which at first I thought were the crows that roost there often (I shot photos
of 17 at sunset a fe

Hi all, Since about 10:30 this morning (it's now 11:15), hundreds and probably
thousands of Snow Geese have been flying over our house and within sight of our
house. Huge flocks. Hardly any Canada Geese so far. One Harrier and a few
unidentified hawks as well. Plus, large flocks of blackbirds -
Tim Lenz, Hope Batcheller, and I are on our way up the lake, but thought I'd
mention that in addition to a transitional HORNED GREBE, an odd female-type
RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, and a Bald Eagle, we found a presumed HYBRID
RING-NECKED DUCK x SCAUP sp. at Stewart Park just now. This is an awesome
