Highlights that Joann and I found covering those areas today are as follows:
-Tundra Swans: 8 Sodus Bay, 34 Savannah Spring Lake Rd at Van Dyne Spoor
Rd., 108 Knox-Marcellus Marsh and at least 2000 at the north end of Cayuga
lake
Mostly on the ice north of the railroad. (counted to 200 in one
binocular view and moved 21 views wide.). We would have loved to have the
time to do a scope count!
-Trumpeter Swan: 2 Savannah Spring Lake Road on the ice at the usual spot
east of Van Dyne Spoor and west of Morgan Road.
-No. Pintail: 3 Sodus Bay
- Am. Widgeon: 22 Sodus Bay, 40 North end Cayuga Lake

didn't notice it in the fall
