Subject: Re: Red-necked Grebes
From: Mickey Scilingo <mickey.scilingo(AT)GTE.NET>
Date: 1 Mar 2003 6:33am
Sorry everyone.
Somehow, I inadvertently left out where I saw the Red-necked Grebes =
yesterday. The birds were on the Oswego River in Phoenix. There is a =
parking area on the north side of Lamson Rd just as you leave the =
village heading west. Before crossing the river, the parking area is on =
your right. Four of the Grebes were close to the near shore, while the =
other 5 were downriver near a piece of ice that juts out into the water =
from the west bank.
The following is a note I received from Kathy Fleming, who now lives in =
Pennsylvania. She writes:
Just wanted to report that there has been a big movement of red-necked =
grebes reported from WV through PA (and probably elsewhere) in the last =
few days: on the PABirds listserv, there were at least 10 reports of =
red necked grebes across the state, one report of 14 in southwest PA, 29 =
on the Delaware River (southeastern PA), and 65 on Cheat Lake near =
Morgantown WV! Also, one was picked up in Dauphin County, PA and =
released, and another was hit by a car near DuBois, PA (center of =
state)...so people should be on the lookout for them heading up through =
NY soon as well...
There have been many Red-necked Grebe reports in and around the Cayuga =
Lake area recently as well. Matt Medler speculated on this in a post to =
CayugaBirds, where he reports that most of the upper Great Lakes are now =
frozen over. It was suggested that these Grebes may have been displaced =
from possible wintering areas in the open waters of Lakes Superior and =
Huron as they froze. Although he admits that not much is known about =
the winter habits of these birds, this theory sounds very plausible to =
me.
So I guess we should all keep our eyes open over the next few weeks to =
see where the Grebes show up.

# 9 - Saturday, March 1, 2003
The SNOWY OWL along Sulphur Springs Rd in Sauquoit in Oneida County was =
reported just about every day this week. It could be seen at its usual =
spot, near the 2 rows of barbed wire fences across the street from the =
greenish-colored house early in the week, but towards the end of the =
week, it seemed to be a bit restless. There is a yellow house further =
down Sulphur Springs Rd close to Doolittle Rd, and the Owl spent much of =
Thursday perched in a tree behind this house. By Friday, it had moved =
again, down Timian Rd and across the street from a place called =
Windhaven Farm. There is a blue house across from this farm, and the =
Owl was perched in a tree beyond the blue house early Friday morning.
In Phoenix, one of the LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and a first winter =
ICELAND GULL were present last Saturday, and 9 RED-NECKED GREBES, all of =
which were in first winter plumage, were there yesterday. There is also =
the possibility that a MERLIN was seen in Phoenix recently. A small =
"falcon-like bird" was observed several times chasing pigeons in the =
village and also hunting birds at local feeders.
Along the Seneca River, a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was seen from Mercer =
Park in Baldwinsville on Sunday, while 2 ICELAND GULLS were seen behind =
the Grenadier Village Apartment complex along John Glenn Blvd in =
Liverpool on Thursday and Friday.
One of the most exciting finds this week was that of 7 EVENING GROSBEAKS =
along Carpenter Rd in DeRuyter yesterday afternoon. The only other =
winter finch reported were PURPLE FINCHES, with a half dozen again seen =
at a feeder south of Fulton. A NORTHERN SHRIKE was seen along Hatch Rd =
in Erieville yesterday, while the Sixty Rd SHRIKE in Baldwinsville was =
seen again last weekend just north of Hencle Rd. Finally, a pair of =
COMMON RAVENS were seen atop Muller Hill in Georgetown yesterday, =
apparently back on territory.
On Sunday, March 9, Larry Linder will lead a field trip to the North =
Country in search of winter birds. Contact Larry at 668-2429 or =
llinder(AT)aiusa.com for more information.

The next meeting of the Onondaga Audubon Society will be held on =
Tuesday, March 11 at the DeWitt Community Church. The guest speaker =
will be Robert O'Gorman, the Field Station Supervisor of the Lake =
Ontario Biological Station. Mr. O'Gorman will share the general work of =
the Biological Station while dealing specifically with the amazing and =
ominous spread of exotics and their effects on Lake Ontario's =
ecosystems. As usual, the meeting begins at 7:00 PM in the basement of =
the church, and is free and open to the public.

Subject: Red-necked Grebes - Phoenix
From: Kimberlee VanNorstrand <vfiddle(AT)DREAMSCAPE.COM>
Date: 1 Mar 2003 10:30am
Hi all,
There were 9 RED-NECKED GREBES on the Oswego River in Phoenix this =
morning at about 8:30. Hooray!!! They were spread out in little groups =
of 2 or 3 birds north of the bridge but not terribly far off. Very nice =
looks. I've chased this bird like crazy for a couple years now and =
these were my first. Thanks Mickey! Also in that area, 1 ICELAND GULL =
and 1 adult BALD EAGLE. Small numbers of most the typical ducks. =
Couldn't find any real concentration of gulls so I missed the Lesser =
Black-backed again but hey... I was pretty happy with the Red-necks!
I've only seen 3-4 Purple Finches the last few days. Other than =
that, and a Pilated Woodpecker I saw a couple days ago, it's been pretty =
quiet. Good birding everyone,

Happy to see about a dozen Horned Larks in a manure spread this morning, in
the Town of Ira, northern Cayuga Cty. They were on Dennison Rd. near Rte.
176. Also in the Ira/Lysander area: robins, Redtailed Hawk, 3 flickers, a
pheasant (not as common as you might think), turkeys, cardinals and a
chipmunk!

Subject: Tufted Duck / Iceland Gulls
From: David Wheeler <Tigger64(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 1 Mar 2003 7:55pm
I found a male TUFTED DUCK at the mouth of Oswego Harbor. The bird was in
with a raft of several hundred Scaup. Look for the Tufted Duck's jet-black
back - that's how I found him. Curiously, I had gone up to the harbor
specifically to look for gulls and go through that Scaup raft for Tufted
Duck. Much to my surprise, the bird's black back popped out after about 20
seconds of scanning.
Tons of birds are present in the harbor, including about 40 WHITE-WINGED
SCOTER and a dozen REDHEAD. I was trying to get decent digi-scopes of the
Tufted Duck between dives, so did not go through the Scoters, gulls, and
female Aythya ducks all that carefully.
At Baldwinsville, from the parking lot of Mercer Park, an adult ICELAND GULL
with snow-white primaries. On size (slightly smaller than Herring Gull),
head shape (very rounded), bill size (small), eye color (yellow-brown with
reddish orbital ring), and primary projection (longer than it's bill), it's
Iceland all the way (rather than Glaucous).
At Phoenix, 9 RED-NECKED GREBES, most just beginning the transition to
breeding plumage. One or two birds had some red developing on the neck.
From the Seneca River behind Grenadier Village, there are now 3 first-winter
ICELAND GULLS hanging around. One is very white, one much darker, the third
bird which I saw today for the first time is somewhat in the middle. At one
point all three birds were on the ice behind the office (at times they have
been at the west end of the riverfront). They do not seem to be associating
with each other.

Subject: Sunday birding
From: Bill Purcell <wpurcell(AT)TWCNY.RR.COM>
Date: 2 Mar 2003 10:07pm
Besides the Tufted Duck, waterfowl in Oswego Harbor included 700
Greater Scaup, 54 White-winged Scoter, 140 Long-tailed Duck, 80
Bufflehead and 1 Am. Wigeon along with some Gadwall and Redheads.
At Fair Haven there was only a little open water on the bay at the
outlet, Scaup and Goldeneye were constatnly moving back and forth
between Lake Ontario and the bay. Ducks: Common Goldeneye 920,
Greater Scaup 850, Lesser Scaup 30, Bufflehead 60 and Redhead 70.
Three Trumpeter Swans flew in while I was there, calling in the air
and on the water. About an hour later, back in Oswego, 3 Trumpeters
flew east over the harbor, I assume the same 3 swans (headed for
Perch River WMA?).
There were about 20 Robins, 2 Bluebirds & 2 Flickers on back roads in
the town of Sterling but they were probably wintering birds and not
migrants.
In Phoenix 9 Red-necked Grebes were still present north of the bridge
late in the afternoon and a first-winter Iceland Gull was above the
dam.

From: David Wheeler <Tigger64(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 2 Mar 2003 10:27pm
The TUFTED DUCK was at Oswego Harbor in a large Scaup raft. Plenty of gulls
are there but they're mostly Ring-Bills.
At Phoenix, 9 RED-NECKED GREBE, 1 REDHEAD, 1 first winter ICELAND GULL.
3 first-winter ICELAND GULLS continue on the river behind Grenadier Village
on John Glenn Blvd. in Liverpool. They have been alternating between ice
shelf behind the office and ice shelf behind building 428, about 300 yards to
the west. One bird is very white, one bird much darker, one in the middle.

Subject: Hawk Owl and Snowy Owl
From: Mickey Scilingo <mickey.scilingo(AT)GTE.NET>
Date: 3 Mar 2003 3:20am
I finally got the chance on Sunday afternoon to make a run at finding =
these birds, and I was not disappointed.
I arrived in front of the white farmhouse on Corbin Hill Rd in Root, =
Montgomery County, at about 2:20 PM and was welcomed by a blanket of fog =
that enveloped just the hilltop and the farmhouse that the Hawk Owl has =
called home for the last few months. It was very strange. Fortunately, =
the fog was moving, and as it cleared up, it revealed the Hawk Owl =
perched atop one of the maples in the front yard. I watched it for =
about a half hour, and it just sat up there on top of the tree, =
alternately preening and listening for prey, which was evident by its =
constant head turns. Several cars passed me while I was watching the =
Owl, but I was the only one there for that specific reason. As I was =
driving away, it flew down over the field behind the farmhouse and =
eventually landed in a tree on the far side of the field.
On the way home, I stopped along Sulphur Springs Rd in Sauquoit, Oneida =
County, to find the Snowy Owl. I arrived just before 4:30 PM and was =
immediately rewarded as I scanned down the parallel fences that head out =
into the field. The Owl was sitting on the ground next to the fence. =
He then flew out into the field where he chased down a few leaves that =
were being blown around by the wind. While he was sitting out in the =
field, the VanNorstrands showed up, and we all enjoyed the show that the =
Owl put on.
He first flew up and landed on a fencepost, where he posed for a few =
minutes. Then he flew up atop the barn roof, then to the top of the =
silo, and eventually down on top of a wood pile. He stayed perched on =
the wood pile for the longest. Then, as I was leaving, the Owl flew up =
from the woodpile and across the road, just about over my car, and =
landed on another fence post on the north side of Sulphur Springs Rd, =
close to Timian Rd. I left him there at around 5 PM.

I was eating my breakfast and watching the birds at my feeders on this sub-zero
early morning. I noticed as the female cardinal was opening her sunflower seeds
that I could see her breath in little puffs each time she bit down on the seed.
In all my years of birding, I have never seen that before.
Have a good day.

I saw this bird also, today (Monday) late afternoon among about 150 gulls at
Mercer Pk. ...rather different.
At Phoenix still at least 2 Red-necked Grebes, but could not find any
white-wingers. 100s of gulls though, mostly noticeable when they lifted up
several times, presumably for an eagle which I did not see.

Subject: Phoenix; more of same-grebes
From: Barbara Herrgesell <HerPartB(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 4 Mar 2003 8:29pm
At Phoenix about 4:45 I counted 14 Red-necked Grebes right in close to the
ice "shore". The cloudy skies made for good visibility, even looking west.
An adult Bald Eagle appeared in the sky above me as I crossed the bridge; it
flew south along the river. Very shortly after there was an adult Bald Eagle
and a juvenile one, maybe first year, perched in trees near the bend in the
river north of the bridge, seen from the fisherman's parking road.
The usual ducks were here and in Baldwinsville, including Redheads behind the
Lysander Town Hall, and a hoodie at Mercer Pk., but no white-winged gulls
could I find. The river is more open today and the gulls stretched from the
dam to Cooper's Marina at Mercer Park in Baldwinsville.

Subject: Lesser Black-Backed Gull
From: David Wheeler <Tigger64(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 4 Mar 2003 9:45pm
Behind building 428 at Grenadier Village, on John Glenn Blvd, Liverpool, 1
first-winter ICELAND GULL was joined by an adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL.
The Lesser Black-Backed is close to breeding plumage, with only a few remnant
streaks on the head. The bird's bright yellow legs and small size will help
to pick it out. Close scope looks also show the remnant nape streaking, but
you may miss it scanning on this feature alone.

Date: 5 Mar 2003 8:22pm
Greetings! Friday we got back from 10 days in the Caribbean. Upon
our return, I was pleased to learn of the RED-NECKED GREBE invasion.
Since I went back to work on Tuesday, I figured I would see how many I
could find on Cayuga Lake. From the Aurora Boathouse at Wells College,
I had three RED-NECKED GREBES yesterday, March 4th. Today, I had a
single Bird from the driveway at work, 4 driveways south of
Mackenzie-Childs. Also noted are an increasing number of CANVASBACKS
that are mixing in with the REDHEAD rafts.
This evening, I uploaded some new photos to my website. The bulk are
from our recent trip to Tortola, BVI and include SMOOTH-BILLED ANI,
AMERICAN KESTREL, SCALY-NAPED PIGEON and BROWN BOOBY. Also, I put up
some pics I have been sitting on from our region. They include a juv.
PEREGRINE FALCON from Oswego Harbor in January. Also from Oswego, some
LONG-TAILED DUCKS. Follow the link below my name. When you arrive,
click BIRD PHOTOS. Look for the NEW! icon, there are 9 of them...ENJOY!!

Hello All,

Coverage: The Cayuga Lake Basin of central New York, including portions of
Tompkins, Cayuga, Wayne, Seneca, Schuyler and Tioga Counties
Compilers: Mike Andersen and Matt Medler
Compiled: March 6, 2003
After a slow week last week, birding picked up substantially this week, as
the Cayuga Lake Basin experienced a large invasion of RED-NECKED
GREBES. Tim Lenz first reported 13 Red-necked Grebes on the east side of
Cayuga Lake on February 27, and then followed this the next day with 30
grebes at the south end of the lake. On March 1, Tim estimated an amazing
170 Red-necked Grebes between East Shore Park and Myers Point. On the same
day, Kevin and Jay McGowan counted 67 Red-necked Grebes on the east side of
the lake north of Myers Point, while Steve and Sue Fast counted 29 grebes
on the northwest part of the lake, bringing the total estimate of
Red-necked Grebes on Cayuga Lake to 266 individuals! On March 2, Steve and
Sam Kelling and Ken Rosenberg circumnavigated the lake and counted 215
Red-necked Grebes, with the vast majority (175) visible from the Ithaca
Yacht Club. This same trio also observed not one, but two EARED GREBES in
the Village of Aurora, as well as 20 HORNED GREBES on Cayuga Lake, an adult
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and an immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK in the Village of
Cayuga, and several LAPLAND LONGSPURS in the Savannah Mucklands.
An immature GYRFALCON which has been seen sporadically since early January
was sighted along the ice edge in the Village of Union Springs on March 1
(JM & KM). These same observers saw a single EARED GREBE from the Wells
College Boathouse in Aurora, together with eight HORNED GREBES. The
stretch of lake from Aurora south to Long Point State Park was a productive
spot for waterbirds throughout the week, playing host to many of the
aforementioned Red-necked Grebes, along with 300 COMMON GOLDENEYE and four
WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS (MA & MM; SFS). Up to four WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS were
seen by multiple observers during the week from Myers Point, which
continued to host a wing-banded TRUMPETER SWAN (VL). [Following up on last
week's comments about Trumpeter Swans in the Basin, we must give credit to
Kevin McGowan and Kim Bostwick for discovering the area's (and the state's)
first Trumpeter Swan in April 1993, in the Savannah Mucklands.] Two COMMON
LOONS were also seen in the Myers area, while farther south, at East Shore
Park, a RED-THROATED LOON was seen on the 28th (TL).
Despite the continued cold winter weather, two YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were
seen twice during the week, from the Long Point State Park area (TL; JM &
KM). Other uncommon winter birds enduring the cold weather include a
BELTED KINGFISHER and a GREAT BLUE HERON at Myers (PH & MM).
Residents of the new Lab of Ornithology building are already enjoying their
new view of the main pond at Sapsucker Woods, spotting both a NORTHERN
SHRIKE and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK over the frozen water during the past week
(KM). Yet again this week, a MERLIN was spotted in the Basin, this time a
female perched along Rt. 34B in the Town of Genoa (GB & AM). These two
observers also saw four AMERICAN KESTRELS, a notable number for the
wintertime, at various places along the east side of Cayuga Lake.
Although no Lapland Longspurs have been reported there recently, Cornell
Lane in the Town of Dryden is still playing host to 20 SNOW BUNTINGS along
with many HORNED LARKS (LS). The year's first KILLDEER was also spotted
there on March 2 (SF & SF).
Finally, over in the Seneca Lake Basin, an Eaton Birding Society field trip
on March 1 yielded three ICELAND GULLS and a GLAUCOUS GULL at the north end
of Seneca Lake, in Geneva.
Observers: Mike Andersen, Gladys Birdsall, Eaton Birding Society, Steve
and Sue Fast, Pete Hosner, Sam and Steve Kelling, Vanessa Lane, Tim Lenz,
Jay McGowan, Kevin McGowan, Matt Medler, Ann Mitchell, Ken Rosenberg, Lena
Samsonenko, Sarah Fern Striffler.
Good birding,
Matt and Mike

Hello,
Good day out and about today in Fenner/Smithfield/Georgetown and DeRuyter
areas. Went to Fenner to look for Snowy Owl for the 7th time and finally I
was rewarded with a very brief look at a MALE SNOWY OWL on Swamp School Rd
at the Fenner/Smithfield line. The bird briefly flew up from a field where
it was being harassed by CROWS only to drop back down out of site. Also,
numerous pairs of singing HORNED LARKS were scattered about the area along
with an ADULT NORTHERN SHRIKE on Larkin Rd.. On Penoyer Rd. near Highland
Forest we had a couple more HORNED LARKS and a pair of COMMON RAVENS(this
is near a nesting spot believe it or not). On Middle Lake Rd a single LIHGT
MORPH ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK continues along with approximately 15-20 HORNED
LARKS. Coming up Rt 16/Crumb Hill Rd were 1 DARK MORPH ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK
and 1 RED-TAILED HAWK. Upon arriving home, we were greeted by a close
soaring ADULT GOLDEN EAGLE--same one as in December?? The bird lazily
soared off to the east. Lastly, CAROLINA WREN and a pair of RED-BREASTED
NUTAHATCHES continue here at the house at 1700'.

# 10 - Saturday, March 8, 2003
A male TUFTED DUCK was found at Oswego Harbor on Saturday, March 1, and =
was seen several times on Sunday. At the time of its discovery, a hole =
had opened up in the Harbor ice, and plenty of waterfowl were present, =
including over 700 SCAUP, over 50 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, close to 150 =
LONG-TAILED DUCKS, some GADWALL and REDHEADS, a few CANVASBACKS, and the =
AMERICAN COOT, along with the usual COMMON GOLDENEYES, BUFFLEHEAD, and =
COMMON MERGANSERS. Sunday night's frigid temperatures caused that =
section of the Harbor to refreeze, and the only open water visible on =
Monday was from near Coleman's Pub along the river. Unfortunately, the =
TUFTED DUCK has not been seen since Sunday, but the Harbor ice is once =
again melting, forming more areas of open water where it may yet be =
found.
Three TRUMPETER SWANS appeared at Fair Haven on Sunday afternoon and set =
down on the available open water there. About an hour later, presumably =
the same 3 TRUMPETER SWANS were seen flying east over the Oswego Harbor.
The number of RED-NECKED GREBES at Phoenix has grown to at least 17, =
with the last report of that number coming on Friday. A first winter =
ICELAND GULL, plus an adult and an immature BALD EAGLE have also been =
seen around Phoenix.
Several times this week, at least 3 ICELAND GULLS were on the Seneca =
River behind Grenadier Village in Liverpool. On Tuesday, an adult =
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was present, and on Friday, a first winter =
GLAUCOUS GULL was found. Grenadier Village is on John Glenn Blvd =
between Rt 57 and Rt 690. The gulls can be found behind building number =
428 and/or the main office. In Baldwinsville, an adult ICELAND GULL was =
seen a few times this week from Mercer Park.
The SNOWY OWL in Sauquoit was seen several times this week, with the =
last report coming on Thursday, when it was seen perched in a tree near =
the intersection of Doolittle Rd and Sulphur Springs Rd. In Fenner, one =
of the SNOWY'S there was seen briefly yesterday along Swamp School Rd =
near the Fenner/Smithfield townline.
Also yesterday, an adult GOLDEN EAGLE was seen soaring over Georgetown =
and headed towards the east.
HORNED LARKS were reported in several locations this week, including the =
dozen or so along Dennison Rd in Ira, Cayuga County last Saturday, and =
several small flocks along Penoyer Rd in Fabius and Middle Lake Rd in =
DeRuyter yesterday. Over a dozen LARKS were also seen yesterday along =
Vincent Corner's Rd in Fabius, along with about 80 SNOW BUNTINGS.
Four COMMON RAVENS were circling and chasing one another in Parish on =
Monday afternoon, while a pair of RAVENS was seen yesterday near Penoyer =
Rd in Fabius. The only NORTHERN SHRIKE reported this week was the adult =
seen along Larkin Rd in Fenner yesterday.
The NORTHERN HAWK OWL continues in the town of Root, Montgomery County, =
with sightings of the Owl on Sunday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 4.
On Sunday, March 9, Larry Linder will lead a field trip to the North =
Country in search of winter birds. Contact Larry at 668-2429 or =
llinder(AT)aiusa.com for more information.
The next meeting of the Onondaga Audubon Society will be held on =
Tuesday, March 11 at the DeWitt Community Church. The guest speaker =
will be Robert O'Gorman, the Field Station Supervisor of the Lake =
Ontario Biological Station. Mr. O'Gorman will share the general work of =
the Biological Station while dealing specifically with the amazing and =
ominous spread of exotics and their effects on Lake Ontario's =
ecosystems. As usual, the meeting begins at 7:00 PM in the basement of =
the church, and is free and open to the public.

Subject: Spring?
From: Dorothy <dwcrumb(AT)A-ZNET.COM>
Date: 8 Mar 2003 4:18pm
I had a flock of about 15 cowbirds at my feeder a couple of days ago.
My first for sure migrant of the year. Isn't that exciting? Today I
saw my first Redwinged Blackbirds. That is an improvement over
cowbirds. The Carolina Wren was back at the feeders yesterday. It is
the first time I have seen it since the two bad snowstorms at
Christmas time. I do know it has visited a neighbor's feeder from
time to time. I told her I had peanuts out, so I may never see the
bird again. I am sure she will get some peanuts. Oh the fun of bird
feeding.
Today I went with a friend to Oswego to look for the Tufted
Duck. We looked through an awful lot of scaup, with no luck. The
river was open all the way to the mouth and ducks as far south as the
fisherman. I don't think I have ever seen such a concentration of
Long-tailed Ducks and a number of White-winged Scoters. Stopped
briefly at Phoenix on the way home and did see one Red-necked Grebe
and two immature Bald Eagles. An Iceland Gull had been there before
we arrived, but was no longer being seen.

Subject: Tufted Duck/Lesser BB/Derby Hill
From: David Wheeler <Tigger64(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 8 Mar 2003 9:00pm
The TUFTED DUCK was in the Scaup raft in the mouth of Oswego Harbor today,
observed from the Port Authority pier. Plenty of WW SCOTER, a HORNED GREBE,
and a few REDHEAD were also there. The main portion of the harbor is
entirely open water. Few large gulls are present.
This morning behind Grenadier Village, an adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL
joined one of the first-winter ICELAND GULLS. The Lesser BB has largely
transitioned to breeding plumage so can be identified by smaller size and
yellow legs.
At the outlet to Onondaga Lake, another first-winter ICELAND GULL.
A good early-March flight took place this afternoon at Derby Hill. 7 GOLDEN
EAGLE, 2 BALD EAGLE, a few each of GOSHAWK, COOPER'S, ROUGH-LEG, and HARRIER
were seen, plus RED-TAILS and one each of MERLIN and KESTREL. The only
passerine migrants observed were AMERICAN CROW. RW Blackbird, Grackle,
Killdeer and Turkey Vulture are all due, but have not yet been observed at
the hill.

Subject: Cayuga Cty./Oswego Cty 3/8
From: Barbara Herrgesell <HerPartB(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 8 Mar 2003 10:39pm
To add to other reports from this area today, I had:
Phoenix: 20 Red-necked Grebes this afternoon-no eagles
Phoenix River Rd. between Phoenix and Fulton: 200+ Common Mergs
Oswego: I did not see the Tufted Duck, but looked from the west side, not the
east side of the river.
Cayuga Cty.
Irwin Rd. at the farm, corner of Stevens (no sign, just inside Cayuga Cty.
near where Rte. 20 splits off): 20 or more close to the road, in corn
stubble, Horned Larks.
Fair Haven Beach State Park. Many ice fishermen. The pond is nearly all
frozen again, almost no birds there, until I was leaving about 5 p.m. when 2
probably Tundra Swans flew in. Sorry I can't rule out Trumpeter, the bill was
sort of straight with no yellow, eyes in the black extension of the bill, but
the birds looked so small, the head and neck were only slightly grayish and
the backs very white. Trumpeters always look big to me, though I know that's
not the distinguishing characteristic. Are Tundras a possibility?
On the bay were 1000+ goldeneyes and scaup in some open water on the north
end. Also 20 Redheads were close in on the lake.
Fair Haven/Short Cut Rd. near Thompson Rd.: at least 150 robins, mostly by
the side of the road, some in trees and some still flying in at about 5:30.
