[cayugabirds-l] Dryden Lake area

I checked the Dryden Lake area later yesterday afternoon.  The lake is still frozen; the walking trail looks rough with slushy snow.  As an alternative to looking over an expanse of water (Cayuga Lake), one could stop along Purvis Rd. and gaze over an almost unlimited expanse of cow poop. 

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake ice and birds

My teenaged sons and I were doing a science project this week on mapping the ice on Cayuga Lake. Thanks everyone for your references, etc.We saw 3 immature bald eagles and 1 adult on the ice near the east shore on Tuesday, approximately .2 miles south of the ice edge. There were none in sight

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake ice

Interesting to read your observations. When you were a young lad we had some cold winters with very extensive icing. I remember one year when we all were chasing something, a Gyr I think, and the name of the game in the telephonic tree was the location of the northern ice edge which kept

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake ice

I checked a couple spots on the southeastern part of Cayuga Lake this morning. This is, if not the most frozen I have ever seen the lake, at least fairly close. The thick ice extended well beyond the red lighthouse and almost to the brown pilings/buoy, and the thinner, newly-formed ice extended

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake Today 21 Jan 2015- No Tufted Duck found.

Dipped on Tufted Duck this morning from Hog Hole with terrible viewing conditions and again late thisafternoon from Rte 89 with almost ideal viewing conditions. There were so many ducks around I easily could have missed it. All common species of Aythya genus were present. There were also RUDDY

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Lake Snow Geese other highlights

Good numbers of Canada Geese at the Geneva waterfront, but Seneca Lake was rough on moderate SW winds. While passing through Waterloo, the evening gull roost-flight (from the Seneca Falls landfill to Cayuga Lake) was on and I decided to follow it. Lots of other birds moving about and I finally

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Birding lake/Montezuma yesterday

How about about a bird viewing and photo blind somewhere strategically placed around the pond? It provides more access for viewing and still minimizes impact on the wildlife. It also creates a more attractive area for birders to visit and draws more people to town to benefit businesses.
