Steam fog and shimmer made for horrible viewing conditions. Plenty of aythya in
several rafts. There was a distant raft that was huge. Bird could still be
tucked in somewhere. Will try again this afternoon from rte 89.

Lots of redheads + company feeding actively at Hog Hole this morning. Great
fun to watch them all diving and flying around.
-One Redhead had a white crown stripe along the crown and back of its head,
like that of an American Wigeon.
-I found a female-plumaged Black Scoter foraging alone close to
I was at Hog Hole at about 10:45 am, and in the midst of a small raft of
Canvasbacks and Scaup perhaps 400 ft off shore there was what appeared to
be an open kayak with a person lying in it occasionally taking smart phone
photos of the ducks. I only saw the back of this person's head and one end
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if there's still a good diversity of ducks in the Hog hole
area?
thanks in advance,

Went birding today with my friends, Melissa Penta and
Renee DePrato. We went up the east side of the lake
and ran out of time so did not go down the west side.
We started at Hog Hole southwest Cayuga Lake to chase
after one of my nemesis birds...the eared grebe. Thanks to

The north end of Cass Park/lake shore/Hog Hole was hopping this
morning! On the way in at 8 am I ran into Shai Mitra and his wife (I
think) who were just leaving. They mentioned seeing a LINCOLN'S
SPARROW, numerous Swamp Sparrows, and four NELSON'S SPARROWS. I was
joined shortly thereafter
I missed the Swainson's Thrush, Lincoln's Sparrow, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Philadelphia Vireo, as well as the Great Crested Flycatcher which I think Bob mentioned he Stuart saw before I arrived.Other species Bob omitted or missed included: American Black Duck,3 Pied-billed Grebes in lagoon

Hi all,
The grass mat at Hog Hole is getting very nice, especially if you don't
have a scope. There were a handful of Least Sandpipers, one Semi-palmated
Sandpiper, five Spotted Sandpipers, one Killdeer and lots of Song Sparrows
acting like shorebirds, around Noon today.

At dawn this morning (Sunday 11 March) I followed up on Chris Wood's report of a Yellow-headed Blackbird at the Hog Hole, part of Treman Marine State Park by the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake. It was one of thousands of Icterids he and Jessie Barry had seen Saturday evening, and on the off
We saw no grebes today at Hog Hole, but did see one male Hooded Merganser and
several Common Mergansers. Along the waterfront trail near the marina we again
saw four fish crow in the same tree they were in several days ago. Marsha

Sorry for the late post. Yesterday evening I went to Hog Hole where
the Thayer's Gull was resting on the docks in the marina. Other

Ken Rosenberg, Arvind Panjabi and I saw several nice birds at Hog Hole this
AM. It was as good as I have seen it with lots of sparrows (e.g. 120 Song;
75 Swamp).
The Clay-colored Sparrow was near the easternmost bluebird box that has a
little shrub growing next to it. The Marsh Wren was in the
A late morning walk through Hog Hole and the field just east of it
produced no Nelson's Sparrow today. In fact, it was quite unbirdy
compared to a couple of days ago. There was a late season Osprey
circling over the creek, 4 Song Sparrows and 20 American Goldfinches
in and around the
Hog hole is quite birdy right now with several uncommon or late birds
including Black-billed Cuckoo(!), Nelson's Sparrow, Bay-breasted and
Orange-crowned Warblers. Most birds along lake edge or in goldenrod
patch just south of lake. I also flushed an interesting bird that
looked chatlike here but
I hiked to the lakeshore of Treman Marine Park today (10 Oct '09) via the
railroad grade past Cass Park. It was pretty productive:
Canada Goose - a few flying over on lake
American Black Duck - 1
Mallard - several on lake
Ring-necked Duck - 1 off Stewart Park with Coots
Bufflehead - 1 off
Today, between 11 and 12, I birded the tall grasses of Hog Hole on the lake
edge. They seem to have let the grasses grow a lot, as there was much more
tall grass than my previous trips last year. With the wind, it was tough to
pick out any sparrows, besides a few SONG SPARROWS. I did find 3
18 matches
