Today was slow in the taxi business and I managed some office birding. >From East Shore Park I saw two different Red-throated Loons, a juvenile and a >non-breeding adult far from each other, plus a duo of female White-winged >Scoters and a separate single female Surf Scoter, and right next to the piling >cluster a duo of female Long-tailed Ducks.
>From Stewart Park I scoped an immature white-winged gull on the red lighthouse >breakwater which I'm thinking was a large Iceland. It was large, about the >size of a nearby Herring Gull, but they would never pose for a good >comparison. It had a bicolored bill with the black being more than just the >tip. It had bright white wings contrasting with a buffier back. The head shape >did not look long, blocky and mean, nor did the bill look like a big cigar, so >I'm thinking it was not a Glaucous, but I'm open to persuasion. I wish I'd had >more time to study it, but dang, I had to work just then. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
