Hi all, Even with several days of consecutive north winds, Common Loons still continued to push south in decent numbers today. This morning the total was 704 (south) and 50 (north), with the first wave being stronger (birds from Cayuga Lake). Also of note was a flock of ~300 Snow Geese also moving south at 6:35am. As with a lot of the Common Loons, these birds cut due south directly over land rather than heading SE down Cayuga Lake.
Once again, for those interested in joining - the count is conducted from Taughannock Falls SP on the north side of the creek. I start 15 minutes before sunrise every morning and count for two hours.
