Quite a few birds have shown up around the lake this weekend. Highlights
include a Barrow's Goldeneye in Union Springs, seen yesterday off the Marina
in the company of a group of Common Goldeneye. Several Glaucous Gulls are
in the area. Saturday there were two at the Seneca Landfill and one at
Farleys Pont, south of Union Springs and Sunday one was spotted off Cayuga
Lake State Park. An Iceland Gull was also seen at the Seneca Landfill on
Saturday and at Cayuga Lake State Park on Sunday. Also at the state park
was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. A "grey phase" Gyrfalcon was spotted
from Farley's Point on Saturday and one was seen Sunday along Lake Shore
Road between Aurora and Long Point State Park. Also along Lake Shore Road,
a Savannah Sparrow was with a flock of American Tree Sparrows. A
White-crowned Sparrow is being seen in the shrub-filled ditch at the SE
corner of route 90 and Ledyard Road and a Swamp Sparrow has been coming to
the Lab of Ornithology feeders for the last several weeks. From further
afield, the Ross's Gull that's been at the south end of Irondequoit Bay was
last seen Sunday.
That's it for now,
Cheers and good birding
