[cayugabirds-l] CORRECTION: Horned Grebes not Eared Grebes at Sheldrake Point
Correction, I meant to type HORNED GREBE not Eared Grebe. My first thought yesterday was Eared Grebe because there appeared to be a bump on the forehead, but then I had to correct for location as Eared Grebes live on the West coast. It had a white breast and neck and grey back (still in winter plumage), grebe-shape, diving like a grebe, smaller than a nearby Hooded Merganser and close in size to a nearby Bufflehead, dark bill, definitely did not have the thicker bill of a Pied-billed Grebe. The sun was setting, and it was getting harder to see. We went around the point quickly thereafter, and there seemed to be many more grebe-sized birds around the northernside of the point, many smaller birds there, maybe bufflehead too...such a contrast to the large Tundra Swan seen there a few weeks ago. -- 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/ --

Along the way (near the bb) I saw 5 REDHEADS, about a dozen BUFFLEHEADS, 2 TUNDRA SWANS, 25 GOLDENEYES, 22 RINGNECKED DUCKS, and about 8 COMMON MERGANSERS. I am certain there were other birds I did not count or see very well. The COMMON MERGANSERS were quite actively engaged in courtship display, and it was fun to watch! They would circle about, stretch their necks upward pointing their bills to the sky, dip down into the water and then cozy up to a female while chasing away the competition. There was also much flapping and splashing about. I couldn't hear if they were vocalizing, however, from my perch above the cove.
