I had the late morning to afternoon free. Time to catch up! I am not doing the january100.
Given a choice between chasing a lingering bird or searching for owls and winter finches,
I’ll take the latter! I haven’t done much owl searching lately. Time to start searching those
Conifer areas! Today a friend and I hit the Newtown area for waterfowl. Geese specifically. Success with the greater white fronted. But zilch success with cackling. January is the
Time to search for waterfowl. Feb. is traveling time. So I want to get stuff now. A surprise
Was a flyover - hunting - peregrine at Lake Barber! An adult. Male on size. Can be iffy at times
But increasing in range. Lost bridge got me more waterfowl and horned grebe. And
Herring gull! I do hope for a rare gull down here this year……LBBG maybe? I barely had time
To hit Fernald. Tundra swans! Plus other species. Felt fairly warm out in the sun! And it
Is going to get warmer! I wonder what the warm up will do with the waterfowl??
Monday and tues I only have a few hours each day. But loads of spots close to home!!
Good birding all.
