A nice diversity of waterfowl is visible off Stewart Park in Ithaca this morning, including 150+ Redhead with scaup and Ring-necked Ducks mixed in, Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck, Common Goldeneye, and three close TUNDRA SWANS. Several large gull flocks were sleeping on the ice shelf that formed overnight. I didn't pick out any white-winged gulls, but the continuing HERRING x GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL HYBRID was out close to East Shore.
