The Grebe is now swimming in the swimming area. But there is no lifeguard.

[cayugabirds-l] Cattle Egret on Cayuga inlet
A single Cattle Egret just flew north along the Cayuga Inlet over a swarm of Crew boats. Didn't have my binoculars on me, so I lost it among some gulls before I could see where it headed once it got to the mouth of the inlet.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Jaeger at Myers
I just saw a Jaeger flying south from Crowbar Point, while aboard the Haendel. Too far to tell which species but we're only a little south of Myers so it may be the same bird that was seen yesterday. Justin On Sep 30, 2014, at 7:26 PM, Kenneth V. Rosenberg k...@cornell.edu wrote: With power out at work and hard rain falling, naturally I headed to Myers Point. Several hundred RING-BILLED GULLS were gathering on the spit, along with a small number of HERRING GULLS and 2 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS. As the rain abated, all the gulls took off and disappeared up the lake. A lone shorebird on the spit proved to be a juvenile DUNLIN. Then Marshall Iliff arrived and we soon spotted a bird flying swiftly down the lake low over the water -- JAEGER! Over the next 15 minutes we watched the jaeger sit for awhile on the water, chase several Ring-billed Gulls, and wheel around sev times giving fairly good views in the poor light. Based on the overall dark plumage, extensive white flash in the primaries, and slightly larger size than Ring-billed Gull, Marshall was fairly confident that this was a juvenile PARASITIC JAEGER. Bad weather = good birds! Ken Sent from my iPhone On Sep 30, 2014, at 6:54 PM, Matthew Medler matthewmed...@yahoo.com wrote: This from the RBA text system just now: Ken Rosenberg.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant birds Sun pm/ Mon am
There was also a single Lapland Longspur at Mt Pleasant yesterday, mixed in with about 200 Snow Buntings and about 50 Horned Larks. And an immature Bald Eagle floated by. And kinda weird to hear Cardinals and Juncos in full song while staring at a flock of Snow Buntings. Justin On Feb 24, 2014, at 9:06 AM, Marie P. Read m...@cornell.edu wrote: Hi all, As I turned onto Mt Pleasant Road from Mineah around 3pm Sunday, I was delighted to hear the deep resonant drumming of a Pileated Woodpecker coming from the woods to the east. At the top of the hill a flock of maybe 50 Snow Buntings took flight, and I tried to keep them in my binoculars on them as they circled around higher and higher into the sky. Soon they were barely visible, and for a micro-second I lost my concentration…and they were gone…apparently to the north. Heading out? On the way back I saw a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk circling over the fields near the farm. A couple of days ago I watched it (presume same bird) catch a rodent on the far side of a field. There also has been a lighter morph bird up there occasionally. But Rough-legged Hawks have been rare up there this winter overall. This morning at the feeders, two elegant male Purple Finches…first I've seen since fall.

[cayugabirds-l] Dark morph Rough-legged Hawk
For three days in a row there has been a dark Rough-legged Hawk hanging out in the 1200 block of Coddington Rd near Brooktondale. This is the spot with the most spectacular views on Coddington, you can see Cayuga Lake in one direction and a broad sweep of the Six Mile Creek watershed in the others. There are a few isolated trees in the big snow covered fields beside the road, and the bird spends its time perched in the top of them or diving talons-first into the snow. Quite a gorgeous bird.
