This morning I watched for migrating Common Loons. I was more timely and
successful than the day I started significantly later than Jared & Scott who
watched from Taughannock Falls SP, and it was certainly better than the day Jay
reported multiple flocks of 50 over Danby but I neglected to
Sorry about the delayed report, but I was also watching the morning of 10
November from the NYS-89 bridge over the Flood Control Channel in Ithaca. I got
a late start, being there from 0742 to 0915, so I probably missed the majority
of what Jared & Scott saw if their birds passed over Ithaca at
Seneca Lake had a poor showing between 0700 and 0900, only 20 Loons.
Conditions were the same as yours and I was truly let down after thinking
it would be a great day for migrating Loons.
Strong south winds are forecast for a while.

For my first Loon Watch at Taughannock this morning, I had no idea what
turnout to expect. 0 seemed an understandable likelihood. Instead, about 20
people showed up, including some "civilians" who saw this announced in the
Ithaca Times calendar.
Air temp was around freezing, winds were moderate

Meena pls pass to Wes and Diane. Sue and I continued on to Seneca Lake where we
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
route
down Rte 15! (runs alongside the river from
John,
I am not sure if they are following Susquehanna or they are just taking a
direct route. If you look up on the map, it seems they can fly directly to
Chesapeake Bay in direct line, they don't need to follow Route 15 as we do.
Route 15 is at least 20 miles left to their target destination

Weather forecast is for Northwest wind and low temperatures. So hopefully we
will have a decent flight tomorrow. Many loons have accumulated on the lake so
earlier part of the morning might be better.
On Saturday, November 14, Wes Blauvelt will lead a Loon Watch at Taughannock
State Park,
Hi all,
With the calm winds, it was considerably slower on the loon front. Total count
this morning was 319 south (10 north) with a dozen or so sitting on the water.
The second wave was virtually nonexistent, with no loons from Lake Ontario.
The highlight this morning was four Red Crossbills
This is a re-send; it apparently did not go through. Meanwhile I've just (2:30pm) gotten a rare bird alert from Tim Lenz of a PACIFIC LOON flying north toward Sheldrake Point.--Dave NutterThis morning (Sunday 31 October 2010) Bob McGuire, Stuart Krasnoff, I went to Taughannock point at dawn to
