Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Area Today 4/8/16

There was a lone Caspian Tern at Myers Point this afternoon. A young Herring 
Gull chased it for awhile. The Tern flew towards the back side of Salt Point 
out of sight. Hopefully it returned to the spit.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma Area Today 4/8/16

2016-04-08 Thread David Nicosia 
Had the day off so went up to Montezuma in the hopes of getting some early
shorebirds.
Started at Carncross Rd. When I first arrived there were only yellowlegs,
both species
in the mudflats. Easy to find. I then heard some PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. These
birds
were in the grasses and mud in the middle and hard to find at first. When I
got on them I couldn't believe how many there were. I counted at least 66.
There may have been more. Many were hidden, roosting in the grasses, some
were feeding and many preening. This is the most PESA that I have
seen during spring migration. I also heard a DUNLIN here.

I then stopped at Muckrace Flats, the Mucklands, East Road, MNWR Visitor's
center
and wildlife drive.  All spots that I went to there were many many
GREEN-WINGED TEALS, lots of NORTHERN PINTAILS, NORTHERN SHOVELERS and
BLUE-WINGED TEALS among other species. Wildlife drive had some nice RUDDY
DUCKS close to the road including a male in breeding plumage.  I saw my FOY
CASPIAN TERNS at Eaton Marsh. There were also 3 DUNLIN at Eaton and both
species of yellowlegs.

Here are some photos of my day.
