All you know is that Sabine's Gull may have passed through the Muckrace area
before it headed down to the south end of the Cayuga Lake, unfortunately no
body was keeping an eye on the north end of the lake, which is part of Muckrace
territory!

Negative:
I was at Stewart Park starting at 6:09am (just able to discern silhouette of
Great Blue Heron along the shore) until 9:24am. It seemed perfectly normal
there to me: Ring-billed, Herring, and Great Black-backed Gulls, hundreds of
Double-crested Cormorants, a couple Great Blue Herons, a Green Heron, a Belted
Kingfisher, an Osprey, some Canada Geese Mallards and a few Wood Ducks and
Hooded Common Mergansers. As I was about to leave Gary Kohlenberg wandered in
detouring on his way for a cup of coffee. I stayed to keep him company and make
sure if he saw the Sabine's Gull that I would, too, but there was no sign of it
other than Jane Graves joining us and telling us just how lovely the bird had
been, but she did so in a very pleasant way, so that was fine. The only
lake-related bird I added during this interval was a flock of Tree Swallows
over East Shore Park. Gary was drawn away by some distant source of caffiene,
then Jane left about the same time I did, neither of us having found any
warblers around the swan pond.
If it wasn't for my high regard for the many birders who said they saw a
Sabine's Gull there (not over the open ocean) yesterday, I would say it was a
vast conspiracy to torture those of us who spent the afternoon in the rain
doing the Montezuma muckrace bird-a-thon at the other end of the Cayuga Lake
Basin.

Has anybody been to Stewart Park this morning to look for the Sabine's Gull? If
so, could positive or negative reports be shared here?
Thanks,

P.S. And yes, I will be getting on the Cayuga RBA soon.
