Hi all,
This afternoon, I went with Sarah Maclean and Gaelyn Ong to Dryden Lake
and Myers Point. At Dryden Lake (~3:30), we saw some of the Long-tailed
Ducks that Jay mentioned earlier, as well as Red-breasted Mergansers,
Horned Grebes, Belted Kingfisher, and an Osprey amongst the usual crowd.
At Myers (~6pm), we discovered a male PURPLE MARTIN sitting atop the
martin houses. Upon pulling up to the spit, a large PEREGRINE FALCON
flew overhead heading NE. Moving up to the shore, an immature GLAUCOUS
GULL flew right in front of us. We also had two Phoebes, Shovelers, a
Red-necked Grebe, and many of the usuals. I've included a list of our
complete findings below. All-in-all, not a bad day!
Happy Birding!
Nathan
