[cayugabirds-l] West side of the lake field trip
HI everyone! Please join me, Ken Haas, on Sunday, October 6th, for a half-day field trip on the west side of the lake. We'll meet at the Ithaca Children’s Garden at 8:00 am (near the big turtle) to car pool and will return around 12:30 pm. While there, we’ll walk up the Black Diamond trail for a short distance, then car pool to Allen H. Treman State Marine Park and the Hog Hole fields looking for field, water and forest edge birds. We will be walking in wet grass so be sure to wear proper footwear. From there it's a short distance to the upper end of the Black Diamond trail above Taughannock Falls for a quick walk on the trail. We may go other places, depending on available time and the inclination of the group. Dress for the weather. Bring a snack and something to drink if you want. I hope to see you there!

[cayugabirds-l] West side of the lake trip-maybe
Hi everyone, Just wanted you to know that I will be watching the weather conditions to make a decision about whether to hold this Sunday's field trip. I recommend anyone considering going should check the CBC calendar on the web page before heading down there on Sunday morning. If I cancel, it will be on the calendar and I will send out another email to the listserv.

[cayugabirds-l] West side of the lake
Dave Nutter and I went up the lake starting around 12:15. Our stops were the Ithaca Marina (or boat club), Taughannock Park (north side) and Sheldrake. We saw all ducks, except for Northern Shoveler and any teal. No rarities. Dave found White-winged Scoters at Taughannock and Sheldrake. A single Ruddy Duck was seen at Sheldrake. Of note, there were many gulls at the north end of Taughannock plus one Red-necked Grebe that Dave viewed far north. One last thing, at Taughannock we saw many Red-breasted Mergansers and also at Sheldrake. Personally, I have never seen them in those numbers! Dave, if I missed something, please post it. All athyas were in abundance. Forgot to mention- we also saw 4 Bald Eagles at the Marina- two adults and two juveniles. We saw the nest north of Glen Wood Pines, but no eagles present. My hunch is that they were on the ice, but...
