This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_ipJF9WKChlNrmVsRzeYCzw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Lots of duck/seabird activity at Three Fathom Harbour yesterday. A few highlights that I saw: Gadwall - 4 (2 pairs), at Shorebird Cove. This is the same week that the breeding pairs have arrived for the past 2 years, so I expect they'll be seen reliably now until late June, when the females retire to incubate eggs and most of the males depart. Green-winged Teal - 5 at Shorebird Cove (up from the first 3 seen here Apr. 22) White-winged Scoter - 3 males Surf Scoter - 1 pair Black Scoter - 3 (1 pair + 1 male) Greater Scaup - 24 (14 in main hbr., 10 on "Dottie's Pond") Lesser Scaup - 2 (1 pair - with the Greaters in the harbour) Common Eider - 290 (120 at main hbr.; 170 at Rocky Run, near Terminal Beach) Black Guillemot - 1 Great Blue Heron - 3 Belted Kingfisher - 2 Greater Yellowlegs - 1 (down from 2 Apr. 22) Willet - 1 (new) N. Flicker - 1 (new) White-throated Sparrows, singing Ruffed Grouse - 2 m. drumming Ring-necked Pheasant - 2 m. crowing swallows - 6 at Horseshoe Turn around noon. The 3 that I could ID while driving were Tree Swallows.
