[cayugabirds-l] Black Terns

[Ann Mitchell]

I was at the Montezuma main pool today and saw 2 BLACK TERNS flying in the back 
of the main pool along with Caspian Terns.  Later I stopped by VanDyne Spoor 
Road because that is where I usually spot them, but they weren’t there yet.

Good birding,
Ann

[cayugabirds-l] Black terns

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Hi all,

During an Audubon van tour yesterday, 6/7, we observed several black terns 
swooping and feeding above the water at the "Crane Unit" on the end of VanDyne 
Spoor Rd in Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. I didn't know immediately what 
they were, and was happy to add them to my life list!

Smaller gull/tern looking bird, dark, "batty" flight, low over the water. A 
phone call over to the DEC on Morgan Rd helped me figure out the ID!

Happy birding :)

[cayugabirds-l] Black terns

[Peter]

FYI folks.

While performing my duties as a roving naturalist at the Montezuma National 
Wildlife Refjge yesterday
I saw two black terns.

TONS of Great Blue Herons and lots of eagles.

Very few shorebirds - a spotted sandpiper, both flavors of yellow legs
and a few least sandpipers. A solitary was also around but not seen by
this observer.

However, the terns were the highlights...that and SCORES
of barn swallows coursing through the placethey were a delight to watch.

There were 6 Black Terns at Stewart Park this morning. They were far to the

Other highlights included a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron, 3 flyby
Semipalmated Sandpipers, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Complete list here:

[cayugabirds-l] Black terns

[Susan Norvell]

Four Black Terns  flew over the Mays Point Pool this afternoon about 2pm
while Bud and I were watching a female Wood Duck herd 8 ducklings through
the weeds. Gorgeous, even in lousy weather!

 

At  Montezuma's visitor center we were skunked by the Godwit, which probably
had more sense than we did and had sought shelter. At noon when we arrived
it was very windy with constant misty rain. The weather was marginally
better when we checked back about 4:30, but still no Godwit.

 

Lots of young bald eagles, but not much else today - unless you count 38
Great Blue Heron in the pool off East Road!
