A secondhand report came in through the information email of the Rochester Birding Association this morning of a pair of common shelducks on Conesus Lake. The person who reported this said that her neighbor—who has lived on the lakeshore for 35 years and is well acquainted with the seasonal parade of ducks—told her that he saw the two ducks on Monday or Tuesday of this week.The report came from the east side of the lake, roughly halfway between Lakeville and Conesus.
The reporter said the ducks are not there today, but it may be worth looking at bodies of water near Conesus Lake to see if they are still in the area. Again, I am passing on a secondhand report that did not include photos, so I cannot verify that this is an accurate sighting. Just a note to keep an eye out.
