[nysbirds-l] Thursday Birding

2010-01-07 Thread Robert Grosek
If negative results are useful, then this report might be of interest:

On Thursday, Bill Howard and I birded from Summer Hill to Montezuma NWR to 
Stewart Park in Ithaca.  There were few surprises.



Lake Como Road - three species of woodpeckers took turns using the same suet 
feeder

 

Summer Hill - No winter specialties

 

Cayuga Lake - Common Goldeneyes

 

Union Springs - Many Red Head ducks on Mill Pond, ice on Cayuga Lake extends 
far offshore

 

Montezuma NWR - Nothing

 

Savannah Mucklands - Essentially nothing 

 

Cayuga Lake from Aurora - Nothing

 

Rafferty Road - Nothing



Ridge Road - Small flock of American Robins

 

Myers Point - Ladoga Road - No birds at all - first time!

 

Myers Point - Marina - A few Mallards

 

Steward Park - Several (common) gulls

 

Compost Pile - Crows

 

Purvis Road - No birds

 

Cornell Farms - No field birds
