Hi all,
The Turkey Vulture flight over Ithaca continued today. I counted 114
over Stewart Park this morning in 30 minutes. I also saw "only" 52
PIED-BILLED GREBES along with 4 RUDDY DUCKS, a few BUFFLEHEAD, and
maybe a couple dozen A. COOT that are newer for me this fall.
I thought it might be nice on Mt. Pleasant so I spent a few minutes
there seeing only 14 T.V's and a Red-tail. The fun sighting was a
PEREGRINE FALCON soaring then flapping then in a stoop so fast I could
hardly keep the scope on him. I never saw if the object of the stoop
survived or not.
I cruised up to Sheldrake Point Road as much to see the leaves as birds.
On the south end of the road in the "Pacific spot" I counted 42 COMMON
LOONS. It was quiet for other birds other than the usual assortment of
Gulls out in the middle of the lake.
nice day,
Gary
