There were several of us at Myers Point this morning from before sunrise until about 1:00pm when we went in different directions. A few folks joining for an hour or two. It was certainly a fun day to be watching Cayuga Lake
Below is a link to the complete list of birds that we saw at Myers. I almost certainly missed a few things, and have only just shared it with others who were birding there so the list may be incomplete. The highlights included a 1st-year Cave Swallow and 1st-year Laughing Gull, a nice variety of ducks, an adult Peregrine Falcon trying to catch a Dunlin and then trying Ring-billed Gulls. A very exciting day where almost anything seemed possible! http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11907342 I checked several other locations in the afternoon.Highlights included Red Phalarope from Hog Hole (seen at the same time by Bill Evans who was at the white lighthouse): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11908132 And the Purple Sandpiper at Long Point that Brad Carlson found early this afternoon. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11909102 Time to rest eyes.
