Hi all, Today’s northwesterly winds produced the first notable push of Common Loons over Cayuga Lake. In total, Bill Evans and I counted 415 flying south and 25 north from the loon watch location at Taughannock. The first wave (birds lifting off Cayuga Lake further north) was considerably small

I spent a windy and wet 45 minutes at Stewart Park this morning. The first 25 minutes were breezy with a stiff NW wind, but then the wind picked up to a gale as a rain storm swept in. Interesting weather... The highpoint was the large raft of RUDDY DUCKS in the southeast corner of the lake. Th
