This is a first for the Cayuga Lake Basin, and according to eBird the first NYS
record was a single bird one year ago near Saratoga Springs, again migrating
north. My bet is it’s one bird and the same one as last year. I’d be happy to
be proven wrong with more birds or sightings, and better view
What are the chances there are two or more? Also, has it/have they been seen
here other years?

The bean goose was refound this afternoon in the huge Snow Goose flock in
the Savannah Mucklands this afternoon, although it was in the far back and
out of sight for quite some time. It was finally refound but then soon

Very cool find!
Perhaps this is the same bird who was found last March near Saratoga Springs.
Seneca Lake and its drainage are outside the Cayuga Lake Basin, but lands not
far to the north of Seneca Lake, including some ag fields along Serven Road are
inside the basin. Please check for it there
Yesterday morning was a strange birding day - sitting in parking lot at TC3 in
Dryden when a perigrine falcon flew into a tree. First, a crow flew by it then
perched in a nearby treetop. Then a seagull was flying silently over the
parking lot and began calling loudly and circling the tree where
Route 31 mucklands (erstwhile potatoes building site) is the place to be for
snow geese. Flooded fields are full of sngo.

Modest island(s) of snow geese in middle of Cayuga lake north of Aurora,

Tim Lenz found a TUNDRA BEAN-GOOSE in a flock of Snow Geese off Seneca Lake
SP in Seneca County last night. The bird was still present for very distant
views early this morning, then flew north around 7:16am.
