getting more and more tired

It's amazing how birding all day for multiple days (early to dusk) can make you exhausted. It's not even 10pm and I'm having a tough time keeping my eyes open!

A quick post of the days highlights from Ken Burrell....

Things are looking ok tonight (Saturday) and possibly pretty good for Sunday... You honestly never know in spring though!


----------------------

Hey Birders,
Another pretty good day. Brandon and I birded throughout the island and had about 115 species.

Here are our highlights:

Cerulean Warbler - 1 male at Middle Point and another male at Fish Point - brings the total to 4 individuals seen this year, so far!!

Sanderling - 1 bird at Fish Point
White-winged Scoter - 2 birds at Fish Point
Black Scoter - 1 female at Fish Point
Lesser Black-backed Gull - 3 year bird (pre-alternate?) seen at Fish Point
Yellow-throated Vireo - 1 bird at Middle Point
Northern Mockingbird - 3 individuals - all at different locations, seems to be pretty common this year on the island


Other interesting species seen included; Pied-billed Grebe, Merlin, 2 Blue-winged Warblers, (2) Red-headed Woodpeckers, several Indigo Buntings etc.

Good Birding,Ken Burrell (and Brandon Holden)
