Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loon watch and foy here

2015-11-15 Thread John and Sue Gregoire
John, Meena,
I was joking about following Rte 15 southbound! The majority of birds yesterday 
were
indeed flying on a line that would have taken them to Watkins Glen. Did they 
turn?
Where? Why?

These birds were at sufficient althitude to bring the rivers in view quickly 
and the
Bay within a very short time. Our old banding station on the Patuxent River was 
at
the same longitude as our current station between the lakes here.

I agree with a direct flight. The rivers only provide a sense of confidence 
that, in
case of an in-flight emnergency, a suitable divert field is available 
throughout the
journey south.

A few years ago some folks from the Maryland Orn. Soc. conducted a watch at Pt
Lookout ( Md shore at confluence of the Potomac,Patuxent and the Bay). The 
timing of
touch downs there would coincide nicely with the flight times with tail wind 
that we
were discussing yesterday -about 5 hours.  All in all, much faster than we can 
drive
or sometimes fly IFR.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loon watch and foy here

2015-11-15 Thread John Greenly
This is interesting. Taking another look at the map,  I see that birds 
diverging from the west shore of Cayuga above Taughannock would pass by 
Connecticut Hill  on a straight course toward the Chesapeake, and would 
converge with the Susquehanna at Sayre, Pa,  at its confluence with the Chemung 
River coming east from Corning. Might be interesting to have observers on Conn. 
Hill the next time there is a big flight.

As they go by us above Cayuga the birds are undoubtedly following the wind more 
than the water, and with a N wind there is a strong updraft generated up the 
hills westward from the lower part of the lake.  Maybe that's what they are 
using, to gain altitude.

Hi Meena and John

Have to chime in here, as the lake and I are rather good friends, from a few 
thousand hours of rowing and sailing!  From Taughannock State Park it's 8 miles 
on the water to Stewart Park at the bottom end of the lake, and the west shore 
down there (Hog Hole) is only 1.8 miles east of a direct southerly line from 
the shore at Taughannock.  I don't know how you figured those large numbers of 
miles;  below Taughannock, around about Myers, the lake actually bends more 
southerly, not to the east. On the other hand, Watkins Glen at the south end of 
Seneca Lake is about 17 miles WSW from Taughannock, a direction that would be 
just right if the Loons were migrating to Pittsburgh.  

I do wonder where they go from here though.  The Susquehanna takes an extremely 
twisty course with a large easterly excursion in Pennsylvania, it would be 
interesting to know whether they follow it or just go straight, which would 
save hours of flight.

Cheers,
John Greenly

found no loons. In thinking about those high Southwestward flyers we believe 
they
had plenty of altitude to spot the Susquehanna and thus took a bit more direct

down Rte 15! (runs alongside the river from Corning south).

Hi Meena,

  Good to see you at Taughannoch. 

   John and Sue Gregoire and I thought that some of the big, loose flocks of 
loons that were well north of the point we stood on at Taughannoch was far more 
likely to take them over the southern tip of Seneca Lake than to the southern 
tip of Cayuga  Lake. As I look at Google Earth, that seems a much more likely 
location that they fly over over than the southern tip of Cayuga. Measured in 
Google, it looks to me that the southern tip of Cayuga Lake is more than 10 
miles east of due south from the tip of Taughannock.

Cheers,

John

I had a super time at the loon watch this morning witnessing the large flights 
of loons and visiting with everyone there. Gary and I went around the lake 
afterwards, and saw many more loons on the lake. Looks like there will be some 
more spectacular flights!
Good birding,
