Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese on Cayuga Lake Saturday
Thanks for sharing that, Suan. It is a fantastic video and sight! Fascinating to watch it from that angle. -Laurie Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 19, 2023, at 5:57 PM, Suan Hsi Yong wrote: > > I got some drone footage of the large raft of Snow Geese on Cayuga > Lake last Saturday, about 3km northeast of Dean's Cove: > > https://youtu.be/DIebjfls_a4 > > Suan > > -- > > (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".") > > Cayugabirds-L List Info: > NortheastBirding_DOT_com/CayugabirdsWELCOME_DOT_htm > NortheastBirding_DOT_com/CayugabirdsRULES_DOT_htm > NortheastBirding_DOT_com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave_DOT_htm > > ARCHIVES: > 1) mail-archive_DOT_com/cayugabirds-l@cornell_DOT_edu/maillist_DOT_html > 2) surfbirds_DOT_com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds > 3) aba_DOT_org/birding-news/ > > Please submit your observations to eBird: > ebird_DOT_org/content/ebird/ > > -- -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

[cayugabirds-l] Fwd: ID help
Looking for help with an ID of a goose seen yesterday by the NE college in Seneca Falls. It is not the same one seen by Dave Kennedy a few days ago. If you message me I can send pictures directly. I have not put on ebird yet. Thank you for the help. -Laurie lam...@verizon.net or lauriemichel...@icloud.com -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma NWR Snowy Egret - RFI
The snowy egret hung around until dusk last night, then flew to the north. With today’s nice weather, perhaps it will stick around. It has been seen down by the spillway, across the river and the gull tree across from the main pool. I understand it has been quite active. When I was there later yesterday it flew around three areas. If you go and don’t see it, check on the rocks by the spillway or across the river. -LaurieSent from my iPhoneOn Nov 15, 2023, at 3:49 PM, Jay McGowan wrote:The SNOWY EGRET was present early this morning in the same area, along the rocky shore of the river just at the mouth of the main pool outflow/spillway ("carp spot") along the drive. It was reported this afternoon from the same area on eBird as well.

At this point I’m not trying to verify the ID, I’m just looking for the standard information and credit that I include on the list.

Generally it progressed north from Seneca Flats. It’s hard to say where it will be tomorrow, but I hope that, if it sticks around in publicly accessible places, folks continue to share its whereabouts so others can see this beautiful bird.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Killdeer
Last year on March 22 I photographed killdeer for the first time in 2022. Today, I have once again on March 22 seen them for the first time in 2023! I have seen about 8 of them calling overhead and in the farm fields in the Skaneateles and Marcellus area. Between their alarm calls, the singing Song Sparrows and Robins, and one Belted Kingfisher near my house making its distinct sounds it feels very hopeful for the spring birding season. -Laurie Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 22, 2023, at 10:19 AM, anneb.cl...@gmail.com wrote: > > In same Hile school x Ed hill intersection.

[cayugabirds-l] Goose
Good evening: Yesterday evening I saw what could possibly have been a Ross’s Goose off Lower Lake Road near Wolffys. I know one was sighted near Treman a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately it was getting dark, the bird was a little further out, and it was asleep, so the attached is the best I have. Its deep red leg stood out and it seemed smaller than a Snow Goose, but without seeing the bill it is hard to know. Any thoughts? Thanks. -Laurie -- 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/ -- Sent from my iPhone
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Egret @ MNWR
Someone posted a picture of a snowy egret earlier- he said it was seen on Carncross Road. That was about 1:30. Perhaps there are more than one. -Laurie Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 16, 2022, at 4:26 PM, Johnson, Alyssa > wrote: > > > As of 3:45 pm today there is a Snowy Egret hanging out along the wildlife > drive between the photo blind and “Shorebird Flats”.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese Lower Lake Road?
I was there this afternoon. A wide area of ice with some open areas. Lots of Tundra/Trumpeter Swans, various duck species, Canada Geese and gulls. No Snow Geese.
