[cayugabirds-l] Snow geese, Fox Sparrow, Rusty Blackbirds
Watching the movement of snow geese from my office in the Veterinary Research Tower today has been quite interesting. Almost all flocks have made a wide arc northeast (coming from the direction of Mt. Pleasant) of the tower that brings them over Cayuga Heights and then they drop down toward the lake. Only 2 flocks that I have seen so far have stayed straight flying north. Estimated at least 3000 birds have flown past since 10AM. This morning at our house in Freeville we had 1 fox sparrow, 17 Rusty blackbirds, and 3 grackles. The grackles have been back for about a week, but this is the first we have seen of the blackbirds and the fox sparrow. 2 male and 1 female purple finch have also returned to the feeder after being gone for much of the winter.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowstorm @ Potatoes Building
Enormous gathering (~10k if not ~100k) of snow geese in the mucklands of Savannah, SE and SW of the Potatoes building. Not terribly close to the road, but close enough during a big repositioning event to just make you stare in awe. With them are many swans, and a good sized flock of pintails not far to the south of the road. On the drive up, popped into Great Gully south of Union Springs and was surprised to be greeted by a FOY eastern phoebe, as well as a very ratty looking sapsucker.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant goose and other migration
I decided to check the migration from Mt. Pleasant today between 10:30 and 12:30. Flocks of geese filled the sky in every direction, but not as concentrated as yesterday's mid-day movement. I suspect that I missed much of the movement, especially of Snows as many flocks passed over as I headed up the mountain, and numbers diminished during the time I was there. Most of the larger flocks were well to the west of Mt. Pleasant, but many directly over the observatory at Mt Pleasant as well -- and as they fought the stiff NW wind, birds were often quite low. Overall, I had roughly equal numbers of CANADA GEESE (11,800) and SNOW GEESE (9000) -- but 2000+ of the SNOWs were in a stubble field farther east on Mt. Pleasant Rd. I found a pair of ROSS's GEESE together in this flock, but they all took off before I could attempt photos. I also saw at least 6 CACKLING GEESE among the large flocks of Canadas -- observing relative size was difficult in some flocks, as many were mixed Canadas and Snows. Other birds of interest passing by were 8 NORTHERN PINTAIL, 4 TUNDRA SWANS, 1 adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, 1 immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK (large brown, streaky, big-chested), several hundred COMMON GRACKLES, RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS, and AMERICAN ROBINS, and 3 AMERICAN PIPITS. a flock of 10 KILLDEER was in a field across from the observatory, and 2 SNOW BUNTINGS flushed when the large Snow Goose flock took off. It was very difficult scanning in all directions, and fighting the strong gusty winds, so I'm sure I missed many birds!

There was obviously a big flight of TUNDRA SWANS last night and today. I saw a total of 15 TUNDRA SWANS migrating today in smaller groups than the geese. In addition, one birder found at least 36 TUNDRA SWANS in one part of Broome County which is unprecedented for down here.

[cayugabirds-l] Tundra swan pair visits Stevenson Rd Compost
Today around 1300, a pair of tundra swans was walking around on the ice of the pond at the Compost Facility. One had a strongly drooped left wing. But as i sat, getting my camera out, they took off and they both flew well, south, then turning west toward the Lake. Not a match for the many swans others have seen, but an unusual (first for me) bird at the Compost! Song sparrows also singing out there.

[cayugabirds-l] CBC field trip around the lake
Hi all, Six hardy souls joined me on the trip around Cayuga Lake. We started at Diary Bar, where we heard a Robin singing made us feel it is spring and warm. A Junco was also singing from the same location. We saw and heard a Killdeer circling above our head, while some of the Common Grackles were making their presence known. We headed to Stewart Park as a couple of members mistakenly showed up at Lab of O, so we planned rendezvous at Stewart Park. We did see birds from here but they were half a mile away. So we decided to go East Shore Sailing Park. From here the view was much closer and ducks looked beautiful through the scope, but as it happened we were showered with freezing rain while we were here. But we did have some nice views of lots of Redheads, American Widgeons, Ring-necked Ducks, Scaups, both Common and Hooded Mergansers, one Northern Shoveller, three Green-winged Teals and two Goldeneyes. We also had a singing Song sparrow here. Then someone thought they saw an Eurasian Widgeon, but it turned out to be a false alarm. I did search for it but I did not see it either. But we were satisfied with the great looks we had of all those ducks so we decided to try Myers Marina. Myers marina was a bit of a disappointment as there were hardly any ducks in the marina. But out on the lake there were lots of Goldeneyes and other usual ducks and two Pied-billed Grebes. From there we headed to Myers Point. Only birds of importance were two Long-tailed Ducks diving close to ice shelf close to shore. They were so very active, they spent just a few seconds on the surface and lots of time underwater. On the way to marina there were a couple of Turkeys in the field. Later near Jerry springer road we saw about 50 Turkeys and many of the males were displaying. Then as my usual practice, I went to Center Road to look for larks and buntings. Except for two Horned Larks and a Redtail we did not see any birds. Along Long Point State Park road we heard some chickadees, tufted titmouse and a Carolina Wren. From the shore we had some distant Red-breasted Mergansers and other usual birds. At Union Spring pond we had two Horned Grebes and same usual ducks but in fewer numbers. Harris's Park was excellent place to look at a few Red-breasted Mergansers, both males and females and lots of Canvasbacks! Previously in the morning we watched on male Canavasback dive along with dabblers and geese in a narrow patch of water at Stewart Park, he looked very odd among those groups. But I guess he was finding something, as he was actively diving to eat something juicy! At Harris's Park we also watched an adult eagle fly around several times. There is big nest on one of the electrical poles, we do not know whose nest it is. We will find out soon I guess. We next stopped at the Mud lock where we saw a head in the eagle's nest, so that means they are still incubating or may be brooding the young! Chris pointed out to me a swallow trying to get something off of snow/ice patches. Then later we saw three Tree Swallows. Further on we headed to Mucklands. Here it was fun as the sky was filled with birds. There was huge group of Snow geese trying to land and were not decided yet they wanted to land or not so they milled around a bit before landing. The sun was out at that time. So it was spectacular view! Some Tundra Swans were taking off and others landing. Canada Geese were milling around. Then there were thousands of Pintails everywhere. We also had a very good look at one of the Horned larks. Then we headed to west side of the lake. We saw the same ducks, but much closer from the north end of the Lake Road. Two Bald eagles that flew over Harris Park area made all the ducks take to flight and it was spectacular to see so many ducks in the air. Southern part of the Lake Road was still frozen so no birds were to be found. So we decided to take the inner route to look for snow geese and snow buntings. We took Farron road, where we saw hundreds of Pintails in the snow melt puddles along with swans and geese. At some point there was huge pure flock of Pintails in the air. We drove via Hoster Road and Kuneytown road but we did not find anything else of interest. At this point we had enough of ducks and geese so we decided to call it a day! Overall it was very windy day, but we still enjoyed the birds with freezing hands and butts!
