Greetings!
Yesterday was a nice day to bird. We saw several Eastern Phoebes playing in the fields. Along with a Hermit Thrush and Ruby Crowned Kinglets.
Later in the day towards the western bay we saw about 6 American Wigeons close to shore along with a raft of Scaup and a single Herring Gull.
Out in the southern bay there were three loons: a mother (I guess) and two younger ones.
Sparrows: White-crowned, Song, and White-throated were in and amongst the shrubs.
Cheers,
Bernie
