Each day has shown under a dozen Loons. Guessing they haven't had a reason to move yet. A lot of south winds. Yesterday two Great Black-backed Gulls flew low right overhead, emitting some of the most eerie calls I've ever heard and today three Common Loons were calling from mid lake. Is anyone watching for Loons on Cayuga this year?
