Hi All,
There was a lot of bird activity at the south end of Cayuga Lake
tonight, as viewed by various observers from Hog Hole, Stewart Park, and
East Shore Park. I only saw a subset of the birds, but thought I would
post the collective highlights, since others have not done so yet.
LAUGHING GULL--seen out on an "island" of flotsam shortly before dark by
Tim Lenz (and others, I believe)
BLACK TERN--Jay McGowan, Livia Santana, Nick Sly and I saw up to five
individuals from Hog Hole; these birds were very distant, even with
scopes; two birds later seen a bit closer from East Shore; Tim might
have had more individuals (7?)
RUDDY TURNSTONE(S?)--on the flotsam island out on the lake
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS--a group of nine individuals seen over the south end
of the lake around 6:30 or so; at least 2-3 other individuals at other
places/times
There's probably more that I'm forgetting, but I thought I'd share these
more notable birds.
Good birding,
Matt Medler
