[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma geese

[Jay McGowan]

I haven't been able to turn up anything too exciting at Montezuma today,
but I did pick out a white adult ROSS'S GOOSE in with several hundred Snow
Geese at Knox-Marsellus, as well as a group of 11 CACKLING GEESE all
together in Puddlers. The teal was not in evidence when I went through the
Wildlife Drive.

[cayugabirds-l] The Messenger

[Sandy Wold]

Thank you for bringing this film to our attention, Meena!  It looks like an
amazing film, and I wonder if there is interest in turning the film into an
even bigger event... where we invite teachers to tie the content into
school curricula and and invite bird/nature conservation clubs all over the
world to host a showing for a week as part of a global event (Earth
Day/Week?).  Is there interest in having a club project committee form to
work on this?  I'd be willing to help work on this!

[cayugabirds-l] Turkey Vulture with white wings

[Ann Mitchell]

I saw it briefly while on Stevenson Road. The bird has been around Ithaca for 
3-4 years or so. One wing has a lot of white on the primaries. The other wing 
had less white. It is a really cool bird to see!

[cayugabirds-l] Message about birds

[M Miller]

Not to change the topic, but a trip thru Montezuma auto route yielded a lot 
fewer ducks than in past weeks. Still a good variety, Mallards, Gadwall, N 
Shoveler, GW Teal, Ruddy, Ring-necked, Scaup, Redhead, A. Wigeon, N Pintail, 
Pied-billed Grebe and A. Coots. Many Canada Geese still there, I didn’t stop on 
East Rd but 50+ Sandhill Crane were seen Friday morning at Knox-Marsellus.

[cayugabirds-l] Montezuma hybrid Teal ,LB Dowitchers, Sandhill Cranes.

[Michael Tetlow]

Joann and I dropped into the visitor center to join a great turnout for
Raptor Day for a bit. Looking from the south end of the visitor center pool
there were still 3 Long-billed Dowitchers and 1 killdeer. We arrived at
Larue's Lagoon around 3:40 to find it totally empty. Our luck quickly
changed as a VERY blue-winged teal flew from the main pool into the north
end of the pool. The hybrid Cinnamon x Blue-winged Teal landed, gave us
great views for a minute, then quickly swam behind the reeds out of sight.
As reported before, the light face crescent and rump patch are more obvious
now and the cinnamon color seems brighter even in dim light. The blue-wing
patches really stand out against the dark body in flight.

   A/the imm. Peregrine falcon buzzed the ducks along the main pool edge
before sitting in a dead treetop across the canal. Several flocks of30+
Tundra swans flew in from the north. 3 Cackling geese were together at Eaton
marsh.

   We arrived at east road very close to dark and, according to another
observer just missed the sight or 46 Sandhill Cranes flying in from the NW
and joining the family  group of 3 for the night. About 400 Snow geese flew
in from the north but we missed Jay's Ross's geese. The puddle ducks
circling the north side of the route 31 muck lands as we left was
impressive!   Mike and Joann Tetlow
