The only time I have seen loons in large groups on Cayuga Lake is during migration, but that wouldn't happen till at least the end of October or early November. We can sometimes see a hundred or more spread out on the lake then. Donna Scott Cayuga Lake, Lansing Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25, 20

I agree with Asher and think what you saw were almost certainly Cormorants. They are both fishing birds, diving for their meals like Loons do, and they look very similar. I know they hang out in the area you identified, in a couple of tall trees on the inlet, and also in a deadfall tree nearb

There were numerous loons off Elm Beach Road in Ovid this afternoon, as well. I would guess fifteen in the largest group, mostly solitary but several pairs which would include adults and/or juveniles. On Sun, Nov 20, 2016 at 1:47 PM, Charles Eldermire wrote: > At least a dozen common loons spott

Hi. I made a brief stop there about 3 pm yesterday on my way to Ithaca and saw 3 common loons (didn't stay long)(and only had binocs). Saw an additional 2 at Sheldrake point, further up the lake. I plan to return after this front passes thru and get there around sunrise. Perhaps time could have

Ahoy bird watchers, An environmentally minded ecologically sensitive professional videographer would very much like to get footage of young eagles- on Lake Ontario or elsewhere in Rochester Buffalo area. Getting the youngsters as they learn and perfect soaring and flying would be totally cool.

I just saw 4 C. LOONS all at once in my field of view (binocs) here at the lake. Then they were calling a lot, standing up and flapping wings, diving and coming up farther away. Donna L. Scott Lansing Station Road Lansing From: bounce-119084040-15001...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-1190840

I saw the same birds as Meena at Sheldrake this afternoon around two and then continued north. Just south of Cayuga Park there were several hundred noisy Tundra Swans accompanied by an elongated raft of countless Canada Geese and an isolated group of 10 Common Loons fishing. We took a circuitous r
