Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Scoter, East Shore Park

2014-10-22 Thread Gary Kohlenberg

After watching the wonderful Purple Sandpiper this afternoon I thought of going 
back to Ithaca and chasing the Black Scoter.
I stopped first to the Marina and was pleasantly surprised to see 7 Black 
Scoters flying in tight formation up the lake past the point. There were also 9 
Surf Scoters, 3 Long-tailed Ducks, Horned and Pied-billed Grebes.
It is shaping up to be excellent lake watching. I wonder what else is waiting 
to be discovered?

A nice female-type BLACK SCOTER was visible a few minutes ago from East Shore 
Park, swimming steadily south. The immature BRANT that has been around for 
several days was visible on the lake off the east end of Stewart Park. Last I 
heard, the Purple Sandpiper was still showing well on the spit at Myers. Surf 
Scoters and a continuing male LONG-TAILED DUCK were the other highlights from 
Myers.

[cayugabirds-l] Black Scoter, East Shore Park

A nice female-type BLACK SCOTER was visible a few minutes ago from East
Shore Park, swimming steadily south. The immature BRANT that has been
around for several days was visible on the lake off the east end of Stewart
Park. Last I heard, the Purple Sandpiper was still showing well on the spit
at Myers. Surf Scoters and a continuing male LONG-TAILED DUCK were the

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper, Myers Point

I can still remember getting my legs splashed by the cold Atlantic Ocean while 
I was looking at my first ever Purple Sandpiper in Ocean City, Maryland in 2006.

sure if it headed back out on the lake or might be hiding on one of the beaches 
here, but I am not seeing it at the moment. Checking the jetties at the south 
end of the lake might be a good idea. Nothing else of note so far this morning.
