Back today to check to see if the Northern Pintail is still about and report it to a member planing a trip to see it and it is still here but tough to spot among all the Mallards, Today someone was feeding the Mallards alot of bread and the Pintail came in with them and afforded me some closer photo's of this beautiful bird I esp like the pale blue beak, if you have not seen one well worth the trip. Noted quite a few Longtails, 3 Mutes, a couple of Common Mergansgers as wells a couple of Red Breasted Mergansers, Trumpeter Swan flyover but none in the bay during my visit, a smaller than normal number of Canada Geese, the resident flock of Rock Pigeons and Seagulls, and a goo number of Buffleheads male and Female. Happy birding everyone.

Excellent Cosmo, you can't get better than that!

Nice work cosmo. The N. Pintail is probably my favourite duck. But I haven't seen them all yet.
