The RED-THROATED LOON was still on Cayuga Inlet this evening resting near the Treman Park boat ramp. Other birds of note were a GREAT BLUE HERON standing on a narrow ice shelf along the far side, 2 southbound TREE SWALLOWS, about a thousand COMMON GRACKLES in flocks moving south or east and several hundred probable Red-winged Blackbirds in similar flights. Cayuga Inlet has been mostly cleared of ice, at least partly by crew boat coaches, all the way to the jetties, but then there's a mile and half of ice, so maybe the various ducks will stay on the inlet until crews start up and disturb them.
