Viewing and counting the huge flock of HOODED MERGANSERS was difficult since many of them were diving, and many were not visible when they swam behind the little houses along the Seneca River, just past Mud Lock at the north end of Cayuga Lake. However, I conservatively estimate the number at 200 +, perhaps even nearly 300. Other birders in cars there (in the rain) and I all agreed it was the most H. Mergansers in one group we had ever seen! Beautiful! Donna Scott
