This morning I went to the White Lighthouse Jetty seeking a better look at the breeding plumage Red-throated Loon which Ken Rosenberg found yesterday evening. Instead I found Ken Rosenberg who had seen the bird again but briefly and distantly. He then had to leave, but I stayed. Eventually I found a different Red-throated Loon which looked like a juvenile.
Other cool stuff I found included * additional looks at Forster's Terns * long close looks at 2 Common Terns on the log offshore from the Swan Pond, along with 8 Caspian Terns * a sweep of 6 swallow species plus Chimney Swift. * an adult with 2 fuzzy fledgling Great Horned Owls in Jetty Woods * my first Baltimore Orioles and American Redstarts of the spring --Dave Nutter -- 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/ --
