3 new species for my condo list (Brant, Snow Goose, Sanderling) and lots of goodies.
Check out my actual ebird checklist for more notes/details:

I haven't been posting many photos of late (on here), but decided to keep the camera at the ready today - just in case a mega did pass. Instead, I have a few photos I can share:
Brant!
Omega Brant Flock!
Peregrine!
Red-throated Loon!
Five Red-throated Loons! The loon flight (especially the Commons) was intense!
Another highlight today - a Leucistic female Greater Scaup! First spotted her in flight, then she landed and was in view for a few hours this afternoon.

Finally, the juvenile Thayer's Gull from today:
Wish I had photos of the Kittiwake too, but I don't!

Hamilton fall bird count is tomorrow! Sun and north winds should be superb for migration. Can't wait to see what gets found!
Glad you got that funny looking Scaup! We were watching it from the beach this morning but it was tough to see it well given that 95% of the time it was hidden by waves...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty solid day at the condo!
