At least two, possibly 5 Greater White-fronted Geese seen this evening
around sunset on Lower Lake Rd. just south of Cayuga Lake State Park on the
west side of Cayuga Lake. Life bird for me! Other highlights include
1 Mute Swan
many Tundra swans
3 Gadwall beautiful silvery males
2 Northern Pintail
There is a broad, shallow cove on Owasco Lake’s west side (Rte. 38) south of
Auburn, a bit north of Stone School Road, formed by Buck Point and curvature of
the shore to the south. Adult Bald Eagles (I also saw a first-year bird a few
weeks ago) tend to watch the lake waters from tall trees
Sorry about the day late. Click the ebird reports for details. Mike Tetlow
(P.S. the Ravens rode the west winds not road as I'm sure someone will point

yesterday. The White Pine and Eastern Hemlock that are close to each other and
just northeast of the motel had a Fish Crow nest last year. I was hoping to see
Merlin activity as an indication of potential nesting. AND

was investigating and feeding a little at my feeder on Hile School Road, ~0.2
