Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes, Dyden Lake
Yesterday afternoon, Ann Mitchell, Gary Kohlenberg & I went to Dryden Lake seeking the RED-NECKED GREBES which Jay reported. The grebes were together in the middle of the lake, mostly sleeping, but they did wake up, and preen a bit. They are distinctive enough to ID even when asleep, though, by their large size and typical grebe sleeping posture with the head resting on the middle of the back. My guess is that with north winds continuing, these birds may remain awhile. The only other waterfowl were an expected raft of CANADA GEESE, about 40 scattered COMMON MERGANSERS, and one each of male HOODED MERGANSER and male RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. The last species may be uncommon on Dryden Lake. I also glimpsed an adult BALD EAGLE, which I gather is not unusual there in recent years. Anyway the lake was ice-free and open for business, and worth checking during migration if you are in the area. The distance and waves there don’t hide waterbirds so much as on Cayuga Lake. - - Dave Nutter > On Mar 3, 2018, at 12:21 PM, Jay McGowan wrote: > > Two nonbreeding plumage RED-NECKED GREBES are currently sleeping in the > middle of Dryden Lake.

[cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes, Dyden Lake
Two nonbreeding plumage RED-NECKED GREBES are currently sleeping in the middle of Dryden Lake. Not much else aside from numerous Common Mergansers. The compost was active earlier, with at least five Iceland Gulls, three Lesser Black-backed Gulls, and a Great Black-backed x Herring hybrid. Last night at Stewart Park we had at least eight Lesser, five Iceland, and a Lesser Black-backed x Herring hybrid.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes on Dryden Lake
I was visiting a friend's house just north of Dean's Cove about 2:30 this misty afternoon, enjoying the hundreds of swallows circling just inches above the water. The cove stream spilled out a plume of silt-laden rainwater that stretched north toward us along the shore. Out beyond it, Loons were diving here and there, and popping up anywhere else. Then a group of six (!) Red-necked Grebes in various stages of breeding plumage appeared. They were close, only 50' - 100' from shore, fishing and paddling their unhurried way north. Really splendid afternoon! -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes on Dryden Lake
Chris Wood found three breeding-plumaged Red-necked Grebes on Dryden Lake today, on a perfect "Dryden Lake day," with cold winds and rain in May. They were still present at about 4:00 pm this afternoon. Also, Bank, Barn, and Tree swallows circling low over the water in good numbers, also, totally typical for a day like today.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Red-necked Grebes, Dryden Lake 4/13/17
Daughter, Becky, & I, got to see them late yesterday afternoon. What a treat. Also had one pied-billed grebe & a kingfisher. Disappointed to not see any mergansers. A fisherman said he had seen 2 bald eagles at the far east end but didn't know where the nest was.Has anyone seen a nest? Lake Como was VERY quiet/calm but we did see a kingfisher in a tree in the swamp.
