Hello all,
Just a quick rundown of my highlights. After getting the inspection done on my car, I did a quick late morning run through Summerhill to Owasco Lake. ...from there I headed to Cayuga Lake. Summerhill: 75 PINE SISKINS and 1 COMMON REDPOLL at feeders at the house on Lake Como (Fire Ln E?). ~20 EVENING GROSBEAKS and PURPLE FINCHES at the Hovel Chalet on Fillmore Rd. Owasco Lake at south end: 1 Juvy NORTHERN GANNET came down the lake mid height and then disappeared over the ridge to the east. Long Pt State Park on Cayuga Lake: for second day in a row an ADULT BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE (today's went by closer), PURPLE SANDPIPER, SURF SCOTER, BLACK SCOTER AND 1000+ BRANT. Rte 90 south of Long Pt: lots of Robins, 10+ E. BLUEBIRDS, 30+ AMERICAN PIPITS, and 1 NORTHERN SHRIKE. Myers Pt: LONG-TAILED DUCK Bluffs overlooking Aurora: juvy LAUGHING GULL High Banks/McKenzie-Childs: 2 RED-NECKED GREBES, 3 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, and 1 dark PARASITIC JAEGER Started morning off at feeders at house with a lone PINE SISKIN, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW...not bad for the city. I missed the Ross' Gull and storm-petrels, but did get the Kittiwake and Jaeger....and the Gannet was a nice pick up for sure.. Overall, a nice day.......and the storm brought us some nice birds. cheers, Matt Young -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
