With classic "Dryden Lake effect" conditions, Livia and I thought it would
be worth checking the lake this morning. We weren't disappointed, with a
flock of 21 LONG-TAILED DUCKS, 11+ RUDDY DUCKS (most were underwater at any
given time), 7 GADWALL, 2 GREEN-WINGED TEAL, 3 RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS,
Bird was last seen from end of Keibal Rd Whitney Point on a gravel bar in
the middle of the upper reservoir. It was reported to have flown south.
Given the horrible weather today including northwest winds, low cloud
heights, snow and rain showers I can't see why the bird would leave. I am
hoping
Bird frequents gravel bar, and islands far upper end of lake/reservoir.
Seen well from end of Kiebal Rd. Also present red necked grebes, flock of
long tailed ducks, surf and white winged scoters.

Yesterday (28 April) Reuben Stoltzfus was traveling north on NYS-414 between
Ovid and Romulus when he saw several kettles of small Buteos who circled
tightly and flapped rapidly. They totaled about 200 birds. This was before the
rainstorm.
