Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese

I could not guess the number of geese out today off of Cayuga State Park, as the gigantic rafts spread as far as I could see up and down the lake. When I reported "tens of thousands" of geese, I would have said a million, but for fear of exaggeration. Their collective noise at rest is impressive.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese

Wasn’t that amazing??? We observed that extended flock - and another one farther south, opposite Aurora - this afternoon. We gave up trying to count (and looking for Ross’s Goose) and made a “questimate” of at least ONE MILLION. I wonder if anyone actually has a count? Bob > On Mar 18, 2018, a

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese

I saw thousands of, if not tens of thousands of, snow geese at 330 pm today off Cayuga State Park on the northwest side of the lake. A dozen or so swans (sp?), swimming on the periphery of the rafts looked like they were herding the geese. The gang was wonderfully loud. Candace On Sun, Mar 18, 20

[cayugabirds-l] Eurasian lifers!

This afternoon I birded up the east side of Cayuga Lake to Montezuma NWR visitor center. At Union Springs north of Village Hall I found the Eurasian Widgeon at lake edge (thank you Diane Morton!) along with lots of other elegant ducks, including American Widgeon Northern Pintail, Goldeneye, Buff

[cayugabirds-l] Peregine Falcon

I headed up to Aurora this morning early hoping to find photographable Red-breasted Mergansers near the boathouse. En route, just south of the ex-Triangle Diner (about 7:30 am), I passed a pake-breasted raptor in a tree, too big for a kestrel, too small for a buteo, so I back up and identified a

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Northern Shrike at Landon Rd and 79 - still there 4pm-ish

Jeff's Northern Shrike was still in at Landon Road around 4:00pm when I watched it for 20 minutes or so. Far off the road in a shrubby field just SE of the Landon/Slaterville Road junction. Too far for photos, but a cool bird to watch nonetheless! And the lone Snow Bunting was foraging along the

[cayugabirds-l] Northern Shrike at Landon Rd and 79

One of the most cooperative Shrikes I've seen in the county. I initially saw it at noon in an unsuccessful pursuit of a single Snow Bunting and both remained visible from Landon Rd for most of the 20 minutes I was there. Jeff -- Jeff Gerbracht Lead Application Developer Neotropical Birds, Bre
