Re: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese
It has been an interesting day for geese. Had a flock (I assume the same one) fly over our house in Lansing about 5 times this morning. Wondering if they were trying to go to Myers area and deciding against it but couldn't find anything they liked off the lake. Had a couple hundred snow geese and a couple separate flocks of Canadas near Trumansburg. Snow Geese headed north and Canada flocks headed south. The first flock of Canadas were still jostling for position as they flew over.

[cayugabirds-l] Blue-winged Teal / Myers Point
I had a very large flock (58) of Blue-winged Teal drop down at Salt Point / Myers Point (Lansing) this morning. Quite a sight to see as they came flying in. I don't ever remember seeing a flock like this before. When I explored previous Tompkins County records, the checklists with similar high numbers referred to great migration days at Stewart Park. Makes me wonder what the remainder of today and tomorrow will be with the change in weather. Good birding all.

I had the same questions and found this stating no harlequin. The daily limit of 6 ducks includes all mergansers and sea ducks (scoters, eiders, and long-tailed ducks) and may include no harlequin ducks and no more than 2 mallards (1 of which may be a hen), 3 wood ducks, 2 black duck, 1 pintail, 1 scaup (except 2 may be taken during the 20 days described in the seasons table), 2 redheads, 2 canvasback, or 4 total sea ducks (of which no more than 3 scoters, 3 eiders, or 3 long-tailed ducks). Of the 3 eiders, no more than 1 may be a hen. For all other duck species found in New York, the daily limit is 6. https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/2.html Duane On Sun, Dec 11, 2022, 10:05 PM Kevin J.
