[cayugabirds-l] Dodge Road Golden Eagle

[Brad Walker]

Hi all,

At lunch today Tim Lenz and I had a GOLDEN EAGLE flying low and slowly
headed south from the compost piles, seen from Dodge Road. The bird had
what looked like a squirrel in its talons and slowly crept along past
Turkey Hill Road.

- Brad

[cayugabirds-l] Meyers Pt.

[William Roberts]

I waited in vain from 4:00 - 6:30 pm this afternoon for the Purple Sandpiper's 
return. Even though the lighting was ideal for photography
the only occupants on the point were a handful (30-35) of R-bGs and a pair of 
Mallards. Bill Roberts

I was at Myers Point for half an hour starting at 7:55am, and Jason Huck was 
there for much of that time. We had no luck with the Purple Sandpiper. The only 
shorebird I saw was a KILLDEER on the island in Salmon Creek. Other highlights 
were a low northbound flock of DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS presumably commuting 
from their Ithaca roost to feed, and a loose flock of 50 southbound AMERICAN 
CROWS, migrants I presume.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper

[job121830]

Daughter Becky & I saw it last evening for 1/2 hr. until  it was too dark to see more. Diana Whiting & I had been there before noon & watched it. Diana took lots of pix. When Becky got off workat 5 p.m. I took her back to Myers & she was delighted to see it. Perhaps we were the last to see it.Coming home I swerved to miss a screech owl sitting in the road at Levanna. I stopped so Beckycould get it off the road before someone came along & ran over it. It was under a pole light, maybe getting insects. Tiny as it looked, when it flew we were amazed at the size of the wings.On our way to Myers we saw an adult bald eagle next to the nest tree along the lake shore at GreatGully Farm south of Union Springs. All-in-all, we felt we had a very successful trip.The lake was like glass & we saw a bright "sun dog". The eventual sunset was beautiful with reflections on the water.Gas was $3.19.9 in Auburn on Mon.. Native Am. squabble continues to keep gas station closed here.Fritzie B.Union Springs
