Re: [cayugabirds-l] C Loons

While closing down my camp at Frontenac Point I did a 180 degree sweep of the lake with my scope. 66 Common Loons..with many of them making their “Hoot” calls. Nice day to be on the lake. On Mon, Oct 21, 2019 at 1:56 PM Donna Lee Scott wrote: > Several Common Loons well across Cayuga Lake

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loon migration alert - Sat morning

I observed 2 loons at 7:31 AM on a heading of 150* SSW from my location on Park Hill Road in the Town of Erin. The site is at 1840’ elevation with an open sky view following the Wyncoop Creek valley towards Chemung. I think there is a good chance these birds started their day on Seneca Lake. Wes

I noticed sightings of Tree Swallows at Breezy Point, Queens a couple of days ago. Perhaps the radar is seeing early swallow arrivals as they prepare to move up the Mississippi river valley? On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 6:14 AM David Nicosia wrote: > All, > > I noticed some bird migration echoes in

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese?

Yesterday evening I had a count of +7,000 SNGO just west of the refuge at sunset. Many settled into a corn stubble field near me only to erupt into a cacophony of sound and panicked flight following a volley of gunshots. On Fri, Mar 3, 2023 at 1:53 PM Suan Yong wrote: > I was just at Aurora
