[cayugabirds-l] Snow Buntings

2011-11-05 Thread bob mcguire 
Steve & Sue Fast and I spent much of yesterday along Lake Ontario in  
the vicinity of Fair Haven. As expected, there was a flock of some 60  
SNOW BUNTINGS on the sand at the State Park. In general the lake was  
quiet in spite of the brisk NE winds. We located a single RED-THROATED  
LOON off the breakwater along with three White-winged Scoters,  
hundreds of Red-breasted Mergansers, some 30 Horned Grebes, a few  
Buffleheads, a single female COMMON GOLDENEYE, single Ring-necked  
Duck, several flocks of BLACK SCOTERS (total number approx. 40). We  
had a flyover flock of 30 Brant and six more swimming just off the  
beach. The only shorebirds were 4 DUNLIN (no Purple Sandpiper). There  
were a couple of Bonaparte's Gulls and several dozen Common Loons.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes--1 in Sheldrake too

I found a Red-necked Grebe south of the point in Sheldrake. There
were also 6 Common Loons in the Sheldrake area but little else.
