A quick stop at Myers and Salt points (0710-0810) this morning produced a few interesting birds:
Canada Goose (800) American Wigeon (16) Northern Pintail (2) Green-winged Teal (15) BLACK SCOTER (6; 3 drakes, 3 female-plumaged birds; flying N up the lake) Pied-billed Grebe (only 5) Double-crested Cormorant (125) Great Blue Heron (11; 8 on the spit just after dawn) Killdeer (2) Lesser Yellowlegs (1) DUNLIN (1) CALIDRIS SP. (1; flying S down the middle of the lake; very pale and probably a Sanderling, but views poor) Ring-billed Gull (80) "American" Herring Gull (3; incl. 1 very pale 1cy) Belted Kingfisher (1) Northern Flicker (1) Eastern Phoebe (1) Carolina Wren (2) Golden-crowned Kinglet (2) Ruby-crowned Kinglet (1) American Robin (20) European Starling (10) American Pipit (3) "Myrtle" Yellow-rumped Warbler (16) Chipping Sparrow (4) Song Sparrow (5) White-throated Sparrow (4) White-crowned Sparrow (4) Northern Cardinal (2) Red-winged Blackbird (1) House Finch (12) American Goldfinch (4) This report probably could have been generated automatically by eBird v2 ( www.ebird.org), but actually involves a composite of two eBird lists, thus requiring me to actually write out the individual bird names before posting.
