Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma, mucklands, etc. info
This evening there were huge rafts of Snow Geese on Cayuga Lake visible from Cayuga Lake State Park as well as Route 89 just a few miles south of Cayuga Lake State Park. Just south of the park, along Route 89, there was a flock of Tundra Swans very close to shore. There were scattered groups of Bufflehead, Redhead, Ring-necked Ducks, and American Wigeon, and the occasional scaup, Black Duck, Mallard, and Red-breasted Merganser. I'm sure there was much more, but I was there only briefly. A simply stunning sight in the evening light, especially when the Snow Geese all took to the air!

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma and Oswego Harbor
When homeschooling, one sometimes has "sunny" days (rather than snow days), hence a quick drive to Montezuma and beyond today. Below is a short summary of waterfowl only. Had 3 flyovers by osprey between Union Springs and the north end of the lake. We had lots of snow geese and swans at the very north end of Cayuga Lake but they were on the west side, so no close views for id'ing the swans. The Wildlife Drive was still closed; seems like they're not expecting it to be open for at least another week or so Mostly Canada Geese with a small group of Ring-necked and American Wigeon at Mays Point with Northern Pintails added into the mix in our view from East Road. Traveled north to Oswego Harbor for views of 40 or so Long-Tailed Ducks, 4 White-winged Scoters, 16 Scaup, several pairs of Buffleheads and a single male Red-breasted Merganser.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma, mucklands, etc. info
Does anyone have recent info about the bird life status on the wildlife drive at MNWR or in the Mucklands? We’re planning on being in the area on Saturday. We’d like to see Snow Geese while we’re in the general area - are they more apt to be on Cayuga Lake still? Thanks for the help and advice.

[cayugabirds-l] Great Blue Heron Rookery
The great blue heron rookery in Malloryville, between Red Mill Rd. and West Malloryville Rd and best viewed from Fall Creek Rd., has been repopulated by returning great blue herons over the last few days. My daughters and I counted seven there late this afternoon, all occupying different nests and intermittently chasing one another. That number is similar to what have nested there the last few years so I don't except numbers to get much higher. Cheers- A.D.

[cayugabirds-l] Happy Spring!
About an hour past the equinox, there are currently at least 27 Turkey Vultures over downtown Ithaca as viewed from my living room window. On St Patrick’s Day there were only 8 kettling while I planted peas. On a non-bird note, that was the day I saw my first Woodchuck. It walked gingerly out onto a dusting of snow that morning, but scurried back into its burrow after seeing a shadow - mine. - - Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
