Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loons at inlet?

[Donna Lee Scott]

The only time I have seen loons in large groups on Cayuga Lake is during 
migration, but that wouldn't happen till at least the end of October or early 
November.
We can sometimes see a hundred or more spread out on the lake then.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loons on the inlet

[Ellen Haith]

There were numerous loons off Elm Beach Road in Ovid this afternoon, as
well. I would guess fifteen in the largest group, mostly solitary but
several pairs which would include adults and/or juveniles.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loons over Cayuga

[Peter]

Hi.
I made a brief stop there about 3 pm yesterday on my way to Ithaca and 
saw 3 common loons (didn't stay long)(and only had binocs).

Saw an additional 2 at Sheldrake point, further up the lake.
I plan to return after this front passes thru and get there around sunrise.
Perhaps time could have been a factor?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Loons

[Susan Gateley]

Ahoy bird watchers,

An environmentally  minded ecologically sensitive professional videographer
would very much like to get footage of young eagles- on Lake Ontario or
elsewhere in Rochester Buffalo area.

Getting the youngsters as they learn and perfect soaring and flying would
be totally cool.  Can you help out? If you see youngsters out and about in
a habitutal 'flying school' could you forward to me and Ill send it on to
him?

Thank you very much. The video would be useful for awareness and education
and would be widely seen I am certain! ( he gets submissions gets on
national TV regularly)

RE:[cayugabirds-l] loons and Broad-wings

[Donna Lee Scott]

I just saw 4 C. LOONS all at once in my field of view (binocs) here at the 
lake.  Then they were calling a lot, standing up and flapping wings, diving and 
coming up farther away.
