Okay, last post for the day (probably). I checked Beebe Lake around noon today and found two HORNED GREBES (one in mostly basic and the other mostly alternate plumage) and a pair of LESSER SCAUP.
On my way home I checked George Road again, where the only different bird was a male RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, and Dryden Lake, where I found a female CANVASBACK close to the fishing access and a cold GREAT EGRET on the north shore. Canvasback puts the Dryden duck total for the day at an amazing 20 SPECIES (missing only shoveler and scoters), and 22 for Tompkins County (with White-winged Scoter and Northern Shoveler at Myers.) I feel like I've been looking at ducks more than usual this spring...
