Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose island, FOY Sandhill Cranes

[bob mcguire]

Ken and I were a bit farther north, doing the waterfowl count at Knox/Marsellus 
& Puddlers for the DEC/Refuge folks. Still a lot of ice, but the ducks were 
beginning to fill in. There was a report from one of the counters of some 
15,000 NOPI at West Loop Road!

[Marie P. Read]

I was a bit north of you enjoying the many Tundra / Trumpeter Swans along Lower 
Lake Road and north of Cayuga Lake State Park.. That WAS an impressive raft of 
Snows!

Took the afternoon off hoping to find the snow geese at Mucklands, but en route 
I found a/the massive snow goose island between Dean's Cove and Aurora, so I 
parked at Dean's Cove hoping to see and video a full eruption which never came 
to pass, just a couple of "minor tremors". Starting around 4pm skeins started 
departing towards the NW or WNW, which is to say, not towards the Mucklands. At 
this point, the island was stretched pretty long and thin, but still contained 
an impressive number of birds, echoing a distant cacophony.

Also had six Sandhill Cranes fly over, and a few Common Loons fishing and 
wailing in the beautiful gentle sun.

PS. No pink-footed goose :-).
