Stewart Park was quite productive today at lunch time (12:45-1:15). Highlights were a beautiful pale 1st-cycle ICELAND GULL on the ice edge with lots of Herring and Great Black-backed, an adult BONAPARTE'S GULL mobbing an adult PEREGRINE FALCON that was harassing ducks near the west shore, a juvenile RED-THROATED LOON not too far off shore towards the east end (seen from East Shore), and several flyover AMERICAN PIPITS.
I also heard a flyover PINE SISKIN at Beebe Lake a few minutes before that. I drove by the compost but didn't see any gulls on the piles, although a lot of the ones at Stewart a little later looked like they were headed up that way.
