[cayugabirds-l] Aythyas
1000s of Aythyas in several rafts off Long Point Road, Aurora, north of state park. Mostly Redheads with some Scaup sp, Ringnecks, & Golden Eyes, along with Mallards. So far can’t see Canvasback. I don’t have scope with me. Drat.

[cayugabirds-l] Aythyas, swans & circles
Just seen on lake: 8 elegant TUNDRA SWANS gliding by a small (250?) raft of mostly REDHEADS with a few SCAUP sp. & RING-NECKED DUCKS & some HERRING GULLS. all of a sudden the whole raft flew north. It reminded me that when the larger Aythya rafts were here a month ago, from the railroad track above the lake I could see the raft swim into a large, almost perfect circle around each mooring ball they swam by. Mooring balls, which are plentiful here, are attached to an under water chain that is attached to a heavy weight on the bottom of the lake. It was interesting to see the raft form the wide circle around each ball as if it was an object to be avoided. (My interpretation).
