I was visiting a friend's house just north of Dean's Cove about 2:30 this misty afternoon, enjoying the hundreds of swallows circling just inches above the water. The cove stream spilled out a plume of silt-laden rainwater that stretched north toward us along the shore. Out beyond it, Loons were diving here and there, and popping up anywhere else.
Then a group of six (!) Red-necked Grebes in various stages of breeding plumage appeared. They were close, only 50' - 100' from shore, fishing and paddling their unhurried way north. Really splendid afternoon! -Geo -- 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/ --
