There Ross's, My Ross's, Their Ross's'

The two Ross's Geese seen yesterday near Erieau by Ken Burrell and myself. Been hanging around the area for a while!

Some of the area near Rondeau, and also western lake Erie - is starting to freeze! Some years we're wondering if there will be any snow for Christmas - not this year!

The other Ross's news is the two Ross's Gulls that are no longer to be found in Michigan. Copying a posting from the MICH-Listers group below:

J.D. Phillips managed to get a couple of photos of the birds that can be
seen at www.UPBirders.org in the 2010 photo gallery.

Here is a direct link to the photos:

And here a very distant shot of both the birds together on JD's website

What crazy birds! Not sure what the weekend holds bird-wise for me.... Maybe won't be until after the weekend that I start seeing things again. 

Will end today off with another stellar photo of a Northern Lapwing in Newfoundland. This time by Jared Clarke. Dynamite!
