Dear Snail Friends,
I warmly welcome you to gather for my
Hi Cayugabirders,
I hope that the past week has brought some new migrants your way, as we inch
closer to a world that will once again feature warblers.
In case you haven’t yet taken part in Avicaching
(http://ebird.org/content/ebird/avicaching/), we are now two weeks into this
local project
Hello,
I went for a nice walk this morning at Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity
Preserve. Phoebes are back, Great Blue Herons are standing on nests near
the fire station (looked like seven occupied nests), fox sparrows and
golden-crowned kinglets were around, and a smattering of migrants passed
Olive is back and the pair have accepted the new nest at GF (aka McGovern
Fields). A good afternoon of pair-bonding, territorial survey, and mating, on
the poles and in the nest.

At 6:30 pm, at least 20 C. LOONS on the water off Myers, waiting out the N
breeze. Hard to count, diving actively. Also at least a half-dozen Grebes,
probably Horned- didn't have a scope with me and they were far off.
Had 10 Loons in binoc view at once, bobbing on the waves, nice sight!
At mid afternoon there were nearly 100 Common Loons between Myers point and
Ladoga Pt. Also even more Horned Grebes by then than mentioned in other
posts.
Hope some stick around for the Spring Field Ornithology Trip I lead tomorrow.

A quick note here (full report of SFO trip up the lake today coming later): At
Ladoga this morning(8:30) we had AT LEAST 25 Horned Grebes in many phases of
plumage, one Common Loon, one Red-Throated Loon, one each of Surf and
White-winged Scoter.

About a dozen participants joined me for this morning's local walk for
Cornell's Spring Field Ornithology course. We found a lot of birds (50
species). A few times, it was almost too much fun to process at once. Here
are some highlights.

Looks like we're in the midst of another LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL invasion.
I had my new county high count of *22* in the flooded fields on Herman Road
in Dryden this evening, along with one the lingering GLAUCOUS GULLS (
