including a male NORTHERN SHOVELER just off the east end, a BONAPARTE'S
GULL flying around out over the lake, and a pair of NORTHERN PINTAIL with
the Mallard flock along the new ice edge.

[cayugabirds-l] Ithaca count notes & questions

2016-01-02 Thread Dave Nutter 
Note that Tom Schulenberg heard a Fish Crow at his house on Hanshaw Rd, but I 
don't know if that should affect the total.

I neglected to mention that 1,185 Dark-eyed Juncos was a new high count.

About the species discovered by single parties, I'd like to make sure I get the 
names of all initial observers and an accurate description of the location, 
including the town where the birds were first found. I know I lack that some of 
this information. In particular:

Kevin, where did you first find the Long-tailed Ducks?

Who first found the Red-breasted Merganser and where? I first learned of it 
from Jay who was with Livia, but that was around 2pm, and Kevin may have found 
it earlier.

Kevin, where did you find the Red-throated Loon?

Scott Sutcliffe, where did you find the Pied-billed Grebe, and who else was 
with you?

Colleen, was the Short-eared Owl on the west side of Scofield Rd (Lansing) or 
the east side (Groton) or both?

Scott Haber, where was your Merlin observation? 

Please let me know if any other info in the list below seems wrong or lacking.

Wow, what a bunch of OCD questions! Thanks for putting up with my efforts to 
get consistent data.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ithaca count notes & questions

Hi All, just a follow-up to Dave's posts about the Christmas Bird Count.  I had 
the pleasure of having Nick Reynolds from the Ithaca Journal join me for over 
an hour of counting yesterday morning.  He posted the following article on the 
Journal's webpage.  A little too much focus on me for my taste, but I am glad 
to see the Club and the count getting some nice press.

Enjoy
Jody
