Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake
Eveline, I shared your question with Hilary Lambert of the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network which has worked long and hard to identify HABs and inform the public. Birders and lake protectors certainly have common interests. She is working on your question. Regi Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake
Just awesome-to know these may be breeding here by the Lake. But I did end up with one question on that: Would the toxic algae blooms that appear to be happening in the Lake every summer pose a risk to young (or even not so young) fish-eating birds of prey?

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake
I too saw one of these eagles at Dryden lake on April 5, it came in late and settled (for the night perhaps), on the manmade wooden perch in the water.

[cayugabirds-l] Bald eagle, Dryden Lake
I had the great good fortune of seeing a bald eagle swoop in to land on a tree right by the Dryden Lake trail yesterday evening. It's the closest view I've ever gotten of this regal-looking bird. He (she? I'm going with "he" as he was not so very large) remained perched there for a long time-still there when I passed by again 20 minutes after first seeing him--taking in the evening view of the lake, where the fish were, in fact, jumping.
