[cayugabirds-l] Dead waterfowl/ice breakup

2015-03-15 Thread Donna Scott
I too have seen several corpses of waterfowl here, including a pure white tundra swan a few beaches north of mine on Lansing Station Rd. 3 days ago masses of broken ice from north of my previously open water area were blown in by the wind and piled up noisily on shore on any beach structure

I am still puzzled by - and have to apologize for - what happened to my post of yesterday morning regarding the bohemian. I am guessing that something went awry with Clarity’s email server - as I just now began to receive messages again (after almost 24 hrs without). As Jay mentioned, I could
