Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck, Hog Hole, Ithaca

To add to Chris's comments, when I started to count the Redhead, this bird appeared in my scope view, fairly dark sides and nearly black back started my pulse going. Then it turned and I saw the head well, including a short tuft at which time I said something to myself like Holy Hey, Chris

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck, crappy tripod

That tripod works just fine! Well enough to find a female Tufted Duck! If we gave him a real tripod, I'd never be able to find any birds before him! Christopher Wood eBird Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://ebird.org http://birds.cornell.edu From: Jeff Gerbracht mailto:ja...@corne

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck, crappy tripod

Aww, come on. It doesn't have any odor about it at all!! And I did give you fair warning ;) You have to talk nicely to it and kick out it's legs once in awhile. Glad you saw the bird Jeff On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 7:37 PM, Kevin J. McGowan wrote: > Just wanted to say that despite

[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck, crappy tripod

Just wanted to say that despite the awful piece of equipment Jeff lent me, I was able to balance my scope on it in an adequate way that allowed me to have decent views of the EARED GREBE at Hogs Hole. After the thing dumped my spotting scope eyepiece-first into the mud first. Still, a bad and i

[cayugabirds-l] Tufted Duck at Hogs Hole

I managed to squeeze seeing the TUFTED DUCK into a busy schedule today. Here is my eBird description. Met Chris Wood and Jeff Gehrbracht, who found it, in parking lot. Because of travel the day before, I forgot my tripod. Jeff kindly lent me his horribly defective one. Met up with Patrick Tann

I think many people have heard that Jeff Gerbracht and I saw a Tufted Duck at Hog Hole, Ithaca NY today. Here are my checklist notes from eBird along with a link to my eBird checklist that includes photos and more comments. You can click the Map link in eBird if you are not familiar with Hog Hol

Chris and I both took photos when we found the bird, though mine are barely identifiable, hoping Chris's are better. As soon as we have those in, I'll send out a link to the checklist. Jeff On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 4:16 PM, Laura Stenzler wrote: > Any photos yet? > Laura > > l...@cornell.e

[cayugabirds-l] (mostly) Barrow's Goldeneye photos

Hi all, I posted a bunch of my photos of the Barrow's Goldeneye from Sodus Bay on Saturday. Trouble is, in my mind it shows some distinctly hybrid qualities. Maybe within range of variation of Barrow's, but the shoulder spur is fairly short, the face mark is slightly more rounded than many Barrow's

Donna Scott, Linda Orkin, Ann Mitchell and Judy Thoroughman joined me for a local half day of birding. When we met at the Lab at 7:30 it was snowing moderately. After a brief discussion we decided to go part way up the lake as far as Aurora. Before leaving we stopped at the feeders on the N side o

[cayugabirds-l] small geese

Hi all, Just now 7 Canada geese flew in front of my window and 2 of them were half the size of the rest with shorter necks. They were heading in dump direction like gulls. Also saw about 150 gulls heading in the same direction earlier. Cheers Meena Meena Haribal Boyce Thompson Institute Ithaca
