At Myers this morning, at 9:30, Marianne Ludwigsen and I saw a lone NORTHERN PINTAIL. It left soon after we arrived. In Cayuga, from a distance, we thought we saw a swan, but a drive down into Harris Park revealed a SNOW GOOSE swimming close to shore. We were concerned with the way it held one of its wings. We returned over an hour later, and it was not there. Also at Harris Park we had a closeup view of a ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW giving us a trifecta with earlier tree and barn swallows. There was an abundance of BLUE-WINGED TEALS and many GREEN-WINGED TEALS at Montezuma. On the loop at the shorebird end, a pair of CASPIAN TERNS entertained us for a long time with a feeding ritual (one waited while the other went off and returned with food).
