[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake Saturday: Little Gull, etc, etc

Hi all, Tim Lenz, Andy Johnson, and I spend the afternoon birding around Cayuga Lake. We primarily worked the west side, though the east side offered a few owl-related treats on the way back. We started at Stewart Park, where we had an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and juv. Glaucous Gull. The Ki

Yard bird!!  Actually, I was able to scope it through trees from my dining room window, and my non-birder wife and son saw it too.  About 4:05 pm it flew, though.  Thanks, Bill!  This was a much better view than Bradfield Hall would've been.  Everyone else, keep your eyes peeled for a Peregrine Fal

[cayugabirds-l] LITTLE GULL northwestern Cayuga Lake

3:13pm Sat 11 Dec Tim Lenz reported an adult LITTLE GULL on the ice on Lower Lake Rd.  Although he said "in Canoga" I think he may be refering to the next settlement north of Canoga, just inside the Town of Seneca Falls along NYS 89 called Bridgeport.  I believe Lower Lake Rd goes past the Cayuga L

I tried to find the notorious Eider out at Stewart Park yesterday and didn't see him, but did notice a chilly looking Bald Eagle in the top of a tree across the canal from the rowing building. -Andrew Roe -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.N
