[cayugabirds-l] South End gulls

2011-02-26 Thread Jay McGowan
A very large gull flock is roosting on the indeterminate ice edge at the
south end of Cayuga Lake right now.  I don't have more time, but I was able
to pick out three LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and I'm sure there are more
interesting birds in there.  Watch out though, they're not particularly
visible from Stewart Park and East Shore Park has not been plowed.  I
scanned from the pullout across from East Shore.  Light is great right now
with high overcast and no heat shimmer.

Also visible from west shore, plus there's another smaller gathering of gulls 
closer to the west shore, with about 20 Tundra Swans in various postures of 
repose on the thin ice.
