Re: [cayugabirds-l] N. Gannet at Seneca Lake

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Surf Scoter, Great Egret

When I was watching the Cattle Egrets on Stevenson Rd about 9:30., I spotted an egret circling up high with the vultures — it turned out to be a GREAT EGRET, which then flew off to the northwest. Likely the same bird that appeared at Stewart Park soon after. KEN Kenneth V. Rosenberg

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Jaeger at Myers

With power out at work and hard rain falling, naturally I headed to Myers Point. Several hundred RING-BILLED GULLS were gathering on the spit, along with a small number of HERRING GULLS and 2 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS. As the rain abated, all the gulls took off and disappeared up the lake. A

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Night flight calls

Betwee 12 and 12:30 I had a fairly steady flight but the birds were very high up and calls were faint- I counted 22 VEERY, 11 ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, 1 CANADA WARBLER, 1 CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER and about 20 unidentified warbler notes. Overall not too different from what Chris T-H heard last
