Late this morning there were 5 Common Loons on Cayuga Lake visible from the Allan H Treman State Marine Park as I scoped northward from the shore. The sky was cloudy, but the air temperature must’ve been close to the water temperature, because there was so little shimmer, and I had a good view between when the fog lifted and when the rainshowers set in. Anyway, there are still Loons on Cayuga Lake, enough for them to have spread more or less to the south end.
