This morning Ed Becher and myself met at the Coast Guard Station to take advantage of the mild temperatures and see what birds were about. A phone call from Bob Anderson, whom we later met up with, alerted us to an Eastern Meadowlark between the exit and entrances to West End ll. A walk along the beach towards the jetty produced a single Piping Plover. The inlet held numerous Common Loons and a few Red-throated Loons. A single Red-necked Grebe was also seen in the inlet. Near the fishing pier an out of place Green-winged Teal was found. Deciding to head over to Point Lookout, Ed pulled his car over near the West End ll turnaround to point out a FOY Eastern Phoebe, which unfortunately did not stick around long. Fox and Tree Sparrows were also seen in the thickets in the center of the West End ll turnaround. Good birding Bob Proniewych
