Drone footage of a big raft of diving ducks (genus Aythya, mostly Redheads) at the south end of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, New York, in January 2024. Shortly after taking an initial overview footage of the big raft, the ducks were spooked into flight presumably by a nearby Bald Eagle, leading to a period of circling and murmuration before a portion of them resettled on the water. The number of duck...

Excellent captured
What an amazing moment! 😍 Thanks for sharing! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪
Such a beautiful bird! ✨
Wow, great footage from your drone ... I think what happened there was a creature from the depths of the lake ate one or more swans in a gulp causing that panic...
Excellent photography! Thank yoi.
Great video! I've been watching this pair since February of 23. Let me know if you want to see some of my photos. Best, Dave Hall
Hey Suan - In my haste I didn't realize whose video this was! Silly me!
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩. Continue with patience and success will come. Patience is very important for success. Love remains 💕🎉
I've been watching these birds for the last several weeks. Thanks for sharing.
Great footage! Thanks for sharing
Horrible music
Beautiful bird. Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Mantap bos ku salam kenal 😅👍🙏
Cool!! I think I just saw a flock near Montezuma NY yesterday!!
That would be highly unusual, though not unprecedented. Could you describe where this was?
@@suanswildlifevideos in a field that was tilled up. There was old corn there but it was an open field that was pretty protected from the wind. It didn't look like snow geese because they were tall. I have seen Sandhill Cranes here and also tons of herons. It was definitely a white crane type bird. I was driving and could not pull over but I saw them flapping their wings and moving, which made it easy to tell they were tall and lanky. They didn't seem too big. I don't think they were bigger than great blue herons. All of this happened in or around Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge properties and also in the north part of the Finger Lakes near lake Ontario, Auburn, Syracuse. I watch birds everyday as a hobby but I take it very seriously. I live in the city of Auburn and I've seen a Cooper's Hawk in my tree next to my house. I see pretty much every single bird that's on the Cornell Bird feeder cam at Sapsucker woods at my house everyday lol. I log it using Audubon. I saw the birds yesterday but I didn't go back to see if they were still there due to the bad weather. I'll try to go out and see if I can find anything similar tomorrow if it's not bad. The flock was not very big either. It was maybe a couple dozen individuals. Hard to see from the road.
Thanks. If you see them again and can report a precise time and location, I can share it with other birders in the area who might be interested.
@@suanswildlifevideos i will let you know! they seemed very unusual, especially the size of the birds and the size of the flock. being in this area we obviously get gigantic flocks of snow geese that rest in the fields. i have seen flocks of snow geese in fields between auburn and cayuga, on West Genesee Street Rd and then the connecting backroads. but those flocks always number in the thousands. snow geese in my experience look smaller than canadian geese even without binoculars. the unknown birds, could've been another type of heron, or egret. but when researching the possible species, snowy egret and great egret didn't seem to fit as there was no water nearby, it was just south of Montezuma, so maybe they were making a quick stopover before heading to the wetlands... but the other white crane type birds didn't seem to make sense, the location was in a field which had recently been harvested and then tilled for next year, and also near farm animals. around the area were small drumlins (hills) that created a natural bowl within the terrain, and surrounding the farm and it's fields and buildings, upon the hills, were tall old growth trees. the road even was down a bit and there was a ledge on the right side of my car, making it hard to see the field due to the hilly terrain. i hope this is making sense hahha. the spot was honestly perfect for a small flock of birds to land in, it seemed as if it would be safe from the wind and also more out of view. possibly adult sandhill cranes? they can look fairly white in some photos, although i have only seen 3 in Montezuma and they were all completely tawny/brownish, very prehistoric looking :D
Yeah. About the only other flocking white bird around here that could be confused would be gulls, but their shape and posture would be very different.
Are they used to drones now or was it the elevation (or size?) of the drone that didn't seem to spook them?
My limited experience with Snow Geese is that they spook quite easily, like you saw with the "did someone fart?" part in the video.
Hard to say. I'm not aware of any other drones doing this in the area, so I don't think it's something they've gotten used to. I've seen helicopter and small planes fly past, sometimes spooking them, sometimes not.
Nice footage 👍👍
Incredible. Can you estimate how many there are?
I think that All of them.
In march I counted 10k in a "small" raft in this video: ua-cam.com/video/apmQ7iIOYtM/v-deo.html This raft is easily 5x bigger, maybe even 10x.
@@suanswildlifevideos Yes, I was thinking it could be a million. Just amazing.
@@suanswildlifevideos I did a very rudimentary count and you're maybe in the ballpark at 50,000. The density of the grouping changes which makes it difficult.
This is an amazing video!
Beautiful share❤
Nice capture😊
Beautiful heron fishing. Great video.
Nice capture. Thanks for sharing so wonderful video & big like
Beautiful bird and a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing. Good luck to you.

Great animation reference, thank you!
Man, I remember one of these huge flocks on Cayuga, and there was nothing you could do scanning them with a scope. Just no... scope, for estimating them. This is much better!
Suan, well done! An amazing lesson!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Suan, delightful!! great video.
beautiful, Suan!!
Wonderful, Suan, thanks!!
Brilliant footage!
That was awesome Suan.
Great video, Suan, thanks!
